Smoothies, Unicorns, and a Squirrel Named Chaos

Published Jun 9, 2025, 5:26 PM

Avery thought her bike path date with Rider was the start of something special—despite a few wipeouts and one epic squirrel-induced meltdown. But when Rider ghosted her, she turned to us for answers. Turns out, it wasn’t the squirrel that scared him off—it was a follow-up photo featuring unicorn underwear, smoothie vibes, and “snuggle headquarters” energy. Was Avery too whimsical or was Rider just allergic to fun? This First Date Follow-Up is one for the glitter dimension.

Avery is on the phone today for our first Date follow up, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Writers. 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 another date. But first, Avery, how long has it been since you heard from Rider?

Yeah, so it's been about Oh gosh, it's it's been about two weeks since I've heard from him. We went on this really lovely date where we went biking, like actual biking, and we went to the park and on the trail and I was trying to play it cool.

I was having a good time, but I got to be honest. You know, I haven't ridden a bike an eighth grade.

Pe, so I definitely fell aw.

W Are you okay?

Oh yeah, I'm good. It may have even been three.

Times, but uh god, the writer was so sweet. He was a total gentleman. He helped me up and he.

Laughed with me. He laughed with me, not at me, and so I thought he was super charming and that it was going well. We stopped for smoothies afterwards, we sat by the lake. We talked for like over an hour. It was so sweet. It was It's just.

One of those like unexpected connection moments. And he was so chill, like writer is annoyingly attractive and confident, not hockey at the same time. And when I spoke, he just he listened. I like, he actually listened to me talk about everything, including my my really weird little pottery side hustle that I have.

I love how excited we get when somebody listened as nice and so.

Do you know that, Like you know, we hear that a lot on these first date follow ups, and I mean, I get it, but it's just it's the simple things really that get us hooked.

I know, I agree, and he he just made me feel really cool and safe and like I wasn't.

Being judged even.

When I crashed into that side.

Oh no, I haven't had that kind of.

Connection in a very long time. So it felt been spontaneous and easy.

And like not forced. And I'm not trying to plan a wedding or anything or rush anything, but I just want to know what happened.

Yeah, do you know what could have happened?

I mean, obviously it wasn't your falling because he stick stuck around for a while after that.

We don't know, I've heard that, but would be terrible.

Did anything else happen?

Yeah, guys, I don't know, but I the one thing I can think of is that there was this one moment where I panicked when a squirrel ran.

Across the path. And I don't I don't.

Mean like a little panic, I full blown, free to the f out. It was not my best moment, but I tried.

To play it off, and so I just screamed.

At the squirrel and was like, not today, demon. But he laughed.

He almost like he laughed.

He seemed like he wasn't weirded out, you know, almost seemed like he was taking.

The joke with me. And you know.

He didn't seem like, oh my gosh, this is a full grown adult woman having a meltdown.

Over a squirrel on the bike path, so like it.

Was a real meltdown, just like, ah, yeah, I was not expecting that squirrel.

Okay, So you think maybe that's what might be the reason that you are getting ghosted, is just the reaction to the little demon squirrel.

I that's gotta be it, because nothing else happened. Everything else went so beautifully. I can't think of anything else that would have thrown it all.

Well, Okay, off the bike. Also, we'll see if that is the reason.

Well, play a song, come back, and then call him and see if I tell us why he's ghosting you, and maybe get you another date if you still want one. Okay, okay, person, All right, we'll get your first day follow.

Up, next first date follow up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys online at advocateslaw dot com.

If you're just joining us for today's first date follow up. Avery is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a dude nam Writer. So we're about to call him and see if he will tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date if she still wants one. But first, Avery, remind us about your date real quick before we call him.

Sure.

So, about two weeks ago, I had the most wonderful date with a guy named Writer. We went biking on a bike trail and it was so much that's fine, but it was my first time biking in many, many years, so I did fall a few times, but he helped me back up and other than that we got smoothied and we had a really great time with a lot of great talking, and I have not heard from him since. The only thing that I can think of that might have scared him off is when we were biking, a silly little squirrel ran out in front of me, and I freaked out because I don't like rodents.

But that's all I can think of.

I texted him the next day.

I thanked him for a.

Great date, and I sent him a picture of me smiling with a smoothie few days later to be like, oh ho, look we did smoothies. But I have gotten nothing back from him, so I'd love to see what he says.

All right, are you ready for us to call on?

Let's do it.

Okay, here we go. Hello, Hi, man, I speak to writer please. Yeah, this is em Hey writer, how are you?

This is the Jubil Show. It's a radio show.

Hi writer, I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria.

Oh hello, what's up?

How are you have your end? My name is Jewbel. By the way, have you ever listened to the Jubil Show.

I think I have heard the show before.

Yeah, okay, well we're calling you today because one of our listeners actually emailed us about you.

Oh wait, is this about Avery?

Oh you knew right away?

Yeah, well, we do a segment called the First Aid follow up on our show.

Maybe you already knew that.

I guess where if you go somebody and they don't know why, they can email us to get you on the phone and ask. So, yes, it is about Avery. Oh do you have a second to tell us why you're a ghostinger?

Yeah? I mean I figured this might come up eventually.

Oh really what happened?

I mean, she's beautiful, like drop dead gorgeous, but she sent me this photo and it was her and like unicorn underwear, holding a smoothie and doing this weak face. I just don't I don't know it was. It was really bizarre. I mean I opened it during lunch at work and I almost choked on my tortilla chips.

So you didn't like it?

You really painted the picture rider.

It was like she was trying to be It was like a six year old trying to be sexy. That's what it was. It was creepy, Yeah, a little bit like to to.

I don't know, it's not of you, dude, say that with getting a picture like that, never actually was it was.

It the unicorns that made it that way or was it the whole thing?

It was the whole thing, but yeah, the unicorns really pushed it over the edge.

Okay, all right, so that's the reason your ghostinger is. She creeps you out with trying to send you a xy picture.

Yeah, and there was some other stuff too. It's like, so she calls her bed the snuggle Headquarters.

You don't like that. That's kind of cute.

It's like elementary's cool. I mean she was also like sniffy sipping her smoothie and being like hmmm, I mean sippy. I love it, you know.

Okay, Yeah, okay, writer, thank you for being honest with us and tell us why you're ghostinger. Now, I'll let you know that she's actually on the phone listing and wants to talk to you maybe and baby talking. I don't know.

Wait, so you didn't like the unicorns for real?

Like those are sexy? Hey?

Avery, Hi, Oh my god, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize that being playful is like a deal breaker now.

I mean, it's not that you're being playful, it's just like I don't know, Oh, I barely knew you, and all of a sudden, I'm looking at you and like Lisa frank Landerie holding it Smoothie. I mean he kind of treated it like it was a mic drop moment or something. I don't know, it was weird.

I was dropping a mic, a mic of joy and.

I love and body positivity, and I mean, come on, that could have been yours.

I mean, look, you are totally a vibe and you're very beautiful. I just don't think I'm like your vibe. You know, I live in the real world. You seem to live in like a glitter dimension where like squirrels call full like these meltdowns and smoothies have feelings. I don't know, it's weird.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, well I should have mentioned and I have a spear of rodents and squirrels are basically rodents, because I just I know I was a little bit dramatic, but it freaked me out. Okay, And I don't know what you're talking about. Smoothie is definitely a feeling.

What does that mean?

Well, you clearly don't have feelings or have any understanding of fun in life.

I didn't realize you were this serious. It's such a bummer.

What does that mean.

Oh well, he said earlier that the squirrel calls meltdowns, calls meltdowns, and foodies don't have feelings, and I would.

Just saying whatever they do.

I don't know, it's it's a little much for me. It just feels like I'm dealing with like elementary school. I don't know whoa writer?

What would you like for a woman to send to you? You know, just a perfect portrait in business casual, like fully covered.

I don't know, maybe like regular lingerie without like unicorns and glitter and stuff. I don't know.

Okay, Well, I I guess I'll just find somebody who doesn't have emotional panic when they see sparkles.

What, well, writer, would you like another day with Avery? Will pay for it?

No? No, I think I'm good. She's she's one of a kind, but I think we of on different planets.

Well, that's totally fine.

You can have fun with a woman who likes to role play like they're in business meetings or church or court or something boring like you.

Wow, look you can tell the smoothie. I said.

Sorry, Oh my gosh, Well you're the one who's gonna be sorry when you're bored and you're wishing for unicorns, or you're.

Wishing for something fun and sparkly because your.
