Lexi is on the phone today for her first day follow up and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Daniel. So in a few minutes, we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But before we do that, we need to talk to her about the date. So Lexi, what's up? How are you? I'm doing all right. Just a lot of wondering. Yeah, of course. How long has it been since you heard from Danny Boy? Five days. I'm making this so light. You know she's stressed out. I don't know if it goes by Danny Boy or not, but that's what I want to call him right now. Danny Heiser. I'm sorry, Lexi. This is not a joking matter. When you get ghosted, it's not fun. Why don't you tell us about your date? Um, so I guess to start off with, he, I just really liked him. He was really different for everyone else that I've gone out on dates with. He's, he's quietly confident, you know, not too flashy. He has clean sneakers, good watch. It's like he knows what he's doing. Um, he's not a really thoughtful.
He's, he's beautifully put together. Beautiful. That's amazing. Mm-hmm. Um, he, he asked really good questions, thoughtful ones. And he actually remembered my answers. So all in all, a good package. He seemed grounded and vicious, emotionally steady. And we ended up meeting at a neighborhood bar. And there were darts and pool tables around. Um, there's kind of like a casual 30 vibe area. There was a little lighting, there was due box. I, I really, I'm thinking like this could turn into something. And then we started playing darts and I was really, really bad. I, I shot one and it was nowhere near the board. It, not even close. There was. I, I think every, it was like the other end of the room, I'll say. Oh, so.
Oh, wow. Every, I felt like everything was going in slow motion. So I felt like I heard it, just hit the floor. And, and everyone was looking, tables nearby. Uh, and I, without thinking, I just started going, wow. My dad was emotionally eviterated me for that. And he looked concerned. He was like, oh, so I planned it. And he, I just said, well, no, he's alive. We're close. It's, it's fine. And, and I just laughed it off, but maybe too loudly. I think I snorted at one point. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, Lexi, so you threw a dart across the room and then you started talking about your dad. I did. I thought, I don't have daddy issues, by the way. Okay. I'm making out right now. Are you telling us or did you tell him that? I told him, I don't have any daddy issues. Okay. I, I, I'm spiraling inside.
I, I think I just killed a vibe. There is. Yeah. I mean, there's worse things you can say. So. Yeah, that's, that's true. Uh, and he was really nice about it. Even uncomfortable. He's smile and nodded and, you know, very soon afterwards, we went to the pool table and, and I felt like the vibe picked back up from there. Okay. And, and then he was being flirtatious again. He was shy. We had to hold the queue properly. So there was light touching we were jumping around. There's teasing. So he stayed for another round instead of just running away, leaving. that's nice. I mean, we appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah, but I just can't help but wonder if things got too real for him too fast. If I just overshared, if it was the dad comment. Lexi is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Daniel. So we're about to call him
and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But before we do that, Lexi, why don't you break down your situation again real quick? Um, basically I went on the date about five days ago. I haven't heard from him. We went to the bar nearby bar and I think I screwed up by talking about my daddy issues when I screwed up at playing darts real badly. When you put it like that. All right, well, are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. Okay, here we go. Hello. Hi, miss. Speak to Daniel, please. Uh, this is speaking. Hey, Daniel, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called the Jubal Show. Hi, Daniel. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. What's up? Wait, this isn't really on the radio. Uh, yes, it is. Have you ever listened to the show before?
I'm guessing you have the way you responded, but yeah. Yeah, I mean, um, I didn't think I'd be on it, but uh, here we are. Okay. Yes, we are. Congratulations. You always wanted to get you on the show, so I'm glad you're on now. This part feels awkward to me. Daniel, calling you today because, you know, we do the segment called the first date, follow up where if you go out on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, they can email us to ask you why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you. Oh, no. Yeah. Any idea who it would be? I'm just going to assume it might be Lexi, my most recent date. It is Lexi, your most recent date. Yeah, we talked to her. She said she really liked you, but can't figure out why you're ghosting her. Do you mind telling us? Yeah. Yeah. No problem. Um, I mean, let me just start off like Lexi, like she's great. She was cute, a little bit spastic, which I thought was kind of adorable.
She was really funny. She was funny. Um, you know, very, very self assured, but I liked and you know, we had a good time, but there's something she said that just kind of stuck with me, and I really, you know, I kind of ruined it for me. What did she say? It rubbed me in the wrong way. Let's just put it that way. Um, so we were playing pool, you know, and I, I'm not the best at pool. I'm not the worst, but I had a moment where I completely missed a shot. And yeah, I think she might have been joking, but what she said is it's okay. I don't date winners anyway. And I don't know why, but for some reason, that just kind of rubs me the wrong way. And I couldn't really shake at the rest of the day. That kind of felt like she called me a loser, which I just missed a shot a pool, but she kept saying it's a joke. Relax. I'm kidding. But the damage is kind of done. I, I, it really kind of felt like weirdly competitive or weirdly kind of a dig. And I don't know. I
mean, I've had some, I've had some bad dating history where people have been kind of not the kind of thing that really made me just to me. So I don't know. For some reason, it's just, it, it really rubs me the wrong way. Okay. Cause she called you a loser. We're essentially. Well, thanks. Um, but that, that is kind of, you know, the thing that really made me give, it just gave me pause about whether or not I wanted to see her again. So I, I've been aeronating on the idea. It, it, it doesn't make you feel kind of takes the wind out of your sales, your confidence to be known to me. For sure. But you got to feel good now knowing that she doesn't think you're a loser because she wants to know why you're ghosting her. Well, well, I guess, I guess there is that is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you got a bit of pathway. Uh, I, you know, I, I, I don't think I'm a loser. I just think for some reason, I just kept replaying that moment in my head. I was like, wow, like that was, you don't want everything enough. And then she kind of kicked me while I was down, you know, yeah. And you don't want to take somebody that calls you a loser and kicks away your down. Like, that's not your type.
That was my type most of my life. So I'm saying, I don't think that should be your type. But I'm just making sure that's not your type. No, it's not my type, I wouldn't say. But, but she is, she's very cute. She's funny. I can't believe she's on the line right now. Yeah. Do you remember now how these work? She is. She's on the phone once I talk to you. Oh, I, I totally forgot which she is on the line, isn't she? Yeah. Okay. Hey, that's the coin. Hey, so I mean, that's kind of ridiculous. I mean, you ghosted me over that. It was obviously a joke. I mean, I know that you meant it, but I couldn't help just replaying that moment in my head. And then I kind of kicked my confidence to ask you out again, because I didn't know if you really thought about it about me. I don't know. Like, I thought it was like, am I disappointing you already? I don't know. I kind of felt like it
kind of just planted a seed in my head. And for some reason, it's kind of blocked me from being able to reach out to you. So it just hit me the wrong way. I don't know how to explain it other than that. It was weird. I mean, honestly, I, I rose people that I like. If I didn't like you, I'd be polite. And honestly, polite would be the real red flag. I mean, you lost you lost that game when you lost that shot, but I mean, I was just fooling around. I know you're not really a loser. You're just a loser in that moment in time. But I was definitely not submitting feedback on your performance in general as a whole. And in fact, like I just really liked you. I hate thinking that you went home believing that I was so serious, but Indian losers can become winners. So we can try this again, right?
Are you saying like you're being mean to me is supposed to be a green flag? That's what I'm looking for. It was you're going to be putting me down a lot. That's a good question. Yeah, but I roast everybody that I care for you, big dummy. Well, hey, Daniel, you big dummy. Would you like to go out with Lexi again? We'll pay for it. You know, I feel like this, this, this definitely made me feel kind of like a dummy because I think I got in my head. You were pretty great. I had a great time with you. I'm sorry. I got a little overly sensitive about that, but yeah, I mean, I do think I like to go on another day with you. I mean, now that you operate, I'm sorry, I'll work on being less sensitive as a loser. What? Are you serious? I think I may have overthought it. Okay. If you care enough to bring this on the radio,
I think it's definitely worth another shot. Lexi, congratulations. We got yourself another date. I can't wait for a next day. Where are we going next? We've made it. Jubal's first date follow up.

After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the blue square alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the blue square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about and if you want to show support, sharing the blue square is one small way to do that. Honestly, honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep, prep stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a health care provider about all your prevention options
