Aaron is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by Monica. So we're gonna see if we can find out why and maybe get him another date if he still wants one in a second. But first, let's find outed by Monica. So we're gonna see if we can find out why and maybe get him another date

if he still wants one in a second. First, let's find out about the date. Aaron, how long has it been since you heard from Monica? Hey guys, I love the show by the way. I love you, Aaron. It's been four days. Four days. Oh, that's okay.

Yeah. You sure you're getting ghosted? I think so at this point. I mean, here's the thing. I felt like the date went great. We met on Bumble. I mean, here's the thing. I felt like the day went great. We met on Bumble. I mean, like everyone that's kind of the only way you can meet nowadays. Um, but she is beautiful.

You know, she's kind of got like this. I don't know this real like kid, you know, youthful energy to her, you know? So we were talking about like Disney movies, you know, just like I'm a big kid at heart too. I love cartoons. I love all that. And we went out for sushi and she was laughing. She seemed to be having a good time. I don't know. I really don't know. I thought it went well. I was a gentleman. Didn't try to kiss nothing. So I, um, yeah, I really would. I would love to possibly have a second date if she is interested and, um, tell us about the sun. Now what happened?

Sushi was good. Sushi was good. Um, I, I'm not like a huge seafood fan, but you know, I thought it would be something kind of a little more interesting, but I was still pretty impressed and, um, having some Saki with it definitely helps. I'll say that. So wait, you're the guy that's like, let's go to sushi and then gets California rolls and then everything that's cooked like shrimp tempura.

Hey, man, what's wrong with that? I mean, just go to a different restaurant. I don't know. Or maybe you just really like California rolls. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to clown you right now. You're just found out funny. Now you're sorry. I didn't mean to clown you right now. I just found that funny. No, you're good. I mean, it was just fine.

It's just I'm not a big seafood guy, I guess. OK. OK. Was is Monica a seafood gal? Was she enjoying the sushi? She seemed to. Yeah, she seemed to be really into it. And I don't know. I just thought it might be something a little better than just taking her out for, you know, beers and burgers or something, you know?

Sure. Did you feel like she was flirting with you? Yeah. Yeah, I really did. And like I said, I even when we were like chatting, you know, we seem to have a lot in common. It seemed like both, you know, I said the kids at heart, you know, I'm someone who I love to, you know, to make my date laugh.

And she definitely seemed to be clicking with my humor. So I hope there can be a second one. Can I ask you said you were a gentleman and that you didn't try to kiss or anything. Now, granted, you met on Bumble. Not maybe that's more of like a Tinder thing. But could that have been what she was looking for? She wanted more of the because Bumble is when the woman reaches out to the man after they match.

Yeah, something like maybe she wanted more of a hookup. I don't think so. I'll be honest, that's not really what I'm looking for. I mean, again, she's very beautiful. That's not that I'm not attracted to her, but I am kind of more in the market for something more long term. Okay.

Yeah. But I didn't get that vibe either. I mean, I didn't feel like she was disappointed that I didn't make the move. And is there anything else you can think of that might be the reason you're getting ghosted? I don't know. Maybe I wasn't talking enough or something. I mean, that's kind of the only thing I can think of, but she generally did. She seemed to be laughing.

She seemed to be having some fun. Um, seem to be smiling a lot. So yeah, I really don't know. If you say you weren't talking enough, did you mean you just sat there and looked at her while she ate sushi and tried to tell you things? Because you know what? That might do it for me too. Cause then I'd be tired. You have to work really hard. I wouldn't say that. Um, I guess here's the thing is that, you know, she was telling me about her childhood family and you know, uh, she's kind of been kicking around the ideas

of, of going back to school and stuff like that and I generally enjoyed listening to her And then listen to what her plans were though. Okay, that's cool All right Well, we'll see if we can figure it out for you a play a song Come back and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you another day if you Still want one.

So we're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date.

But before we do that, why don't you catch everybody up? Aaron, what's the situation with Monica and the ghosting? Uh, yes. We had met on mumble. We went out for sushi. I thought at least it went really well. Uh, but I haven't heard anything in the past few days and really hoping that I can possibly get a second date. Okay. Maybe, you know, go somewhere where you like the food instead of taking her to sushi. I'm sorry. Maybe that's the reason, you know. That's kind of flaggy to me.

Yeah. No offense. It just, it kind of is. So maybe if that's it, then that, this is savable then. Yeah. We'll see Aaron. We're about to call her. You ready?

Let's do it. All right, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Monica please? This is she. Monica, how are you? My name is Jubel. I host a radio show that is called The Jubel Show. Yeah, and the whole show is here too, Monica. My name is Nina. And mine's Victoria. Wow, hi.

How would you like to be on it? I'm going to be on it. Okay. I'm going to be on it. I'm going to be on it. I'm going to be on it. I'm going to be on it. I'm going to be on it. I yeah listen to the show yeah, I do Okay, cool. How would you like to be on it? Well depends on what for

Let's say you were on it for the to catch a cheater segment would you want to be on it for that? No, okay What about a first date follow-up? You know where you go on a date with someone and then you're ghosting them and we try to find out why? Oh, um, sure. Okay, cool. It works perfectly then because that's what this is. Wow.

Okay. Do you know who you're ghosting, Monica? Um, I have a feeling. Is it Aaron? Yes. Are you ghosting Aaron? Because it's only been a couple of days, but he's pretty sure you're ghosting him. I'm not purposely ghosting him, but I guess it has been sort of happening.

Yes. Why? Okay. Well, we were on a date and you know, he was really nice and everything, but we were on a date, um, and you know, he was really nice and everything, but he, uh, on the date, he brought a rubber fish toy, like a kind of like a, like a, like a rubber fish, like the kind of like a kid would play with like in a bathtub. He called it, he called it Flippy. Fun. My nephew's got some of those. What? Okay. He named it Flippy. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, I don't know. He, he introduced Flippy in the beginning and like put it on

the bar next to his beer. Um, and I thought it was just like him being silly at first, like, Oh, he's playful. Okay. You know, we're at sushi. Like, it's going to bring this like rubber fish, I guess it was a weird choice but whatever but he like he just kept referencing flippy and like talking to flippy throughout the evening and like yeah I didn't like I didn't want to be mean but um or like calling out like it was like a burger thing was flippy getting stressed out watching everybody eat its friends yeah I mean that's kind of a weird place to take a fish. It was just kind of weird. I don't know. It was just a little weird and maybe uncomfortable. Did it look like he brings Flippy with him everywhere?

That's what I would gather. Yeah, like it was like his like pal. That's really nice of you to just kind of understand that some people have like nerves and the anxiety and maybe flip is his friend. I don't know how I would handle that. Actually that's a really interesting situation, Monica. Yeah, it was, I don't know. It was like, you know, playful, but maybe not exactly, you know, my vibe. So I was just like, maybe, you know, I don't know.

It was a little weird. Did like the, at the end of the date, did like the three guys hug it out together or did you get a separate hug from Flippy? It did feel like he was like a third wheel. Like he was like in a ball. Oh wow. Oof. Okay.

Outside of Flippy, Monica, how was the date? Outside of that, it. Okay. Outside of Flippy, Monica, how was the date? Outside of that, it was fun. Outside of that, it was like, you know, well, I think our personalities were playful. Like we're both kind of like dorky in a fun way, you know? So I think outside of that, it was, it was, you know, fun. It was just the, um, the toys. Okay. Well, thank you for telling us and being honest with us. Yeah. This is so crazy. I'll be honest with you now too.

Aaron is on the phone. He's been listening this whole time. I don't know if Flippy is with him, but he doesn't want to talk to you. Oh wow. Is Flippy there? Okay. Uh, no, Flippy, Flippy is not here. Um, he, helippy, Flippy is not here.

Um, he, he had a doctor's appointment. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Hi, Erin. Listen, I'm sorry. I sometimes ask my friends, I sometimes have a weird sense of humor and, um, I know that you were telling me that you, you know, you love to talk to your cats a lot. And so I just, I't want to be pats.

And it was dumb. I thought I would just be kind of like a fun little icebreaker. I didn't mean for it to be that weird. That's actually pretty good. I do not bring with you with me or sleep with him or anything like that. Well, I hope you're not sleeping with him if you're trying to date other people. I'm trying to date Monica. Okay.

I do talk to my cats, but I did tell them I had, you know, like a live, you know, I don't know. Yes, it's true. Hey, I mean, listen, cats are great listeners. Nothing wrong. Kind of the same thing. Again, I was, it was just kind of meant as a silly dumb joke, a nice and an icebreaker. I really didn't have a great time though.

So if you are up to it and I promise with he will be in no way coming to the date. Maybe we could try again. Monica, would you like to go out with Aaron again? We'll pay for it. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's no stuffed animals either, like nothing, you know, just us.

And then I'd be down. I can't believe you got to say that, but that's kind of cool. Yeah, no, listen, hey, Fliippy said he's already starting to see someone else. Just let me know. And you like you out again. OK, yeah. Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way, because I did like you.

Oh, yeah. And yeah, so you got flippy block. because I did like you. So yeah. Yep. So you got flippy blocked. We live in a divided country and our media couldn't be more polarizing.
