First date of follow-up

powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys Online at Advocateslaw.com Grayson is on the phone today for a first day follow-up and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Annabelle So in a few minutes We'll call her and see if she'll tell us Why she's ghosting him

And maybe get him another date But first, Grayson, how long has it been Since you heard from Annabel? It's been, it's been less than a week But it's been a few days Okay Okay, but long enough for you to feel worried Yeah, I guess

It was last weekend, so it's been, yeah, three or four days. And, yeah, I'm starting to feel confused because we had pretty confident we had an awesome time. So I don't understand where the disconnect is maybe coming in here. Well, why don't you tell us about the date then? Let's see if we can figure it out. Yeah, I mean, I'm not the, you know, I'm not the most handsome guy in the world, but I'm decent looking. And Annabelle came over, and we had. I mean, I thought we had a spark.

We were, like, we were smiling. We were laughing immediately. I mean, she's got these really great comebacks, and she's got this really kind of charming, just killer smile, you know. She kind of looks up at you and side smiles, and it just kind of makes you feel something cool. And I don't know, we played board games. She was crushing me on trivial pursuit.

I mean, she's got, you know, there's, there you go. There's a triple thread right there, you know. So wait, she came to your place. Yeah, we just had like a cozy, you know, quiet night at my place, which was great. I liked to cook, so we made some, like, homemade pizza, you know, something I thought would be fun. Okay. Throwing toppings on, flour everywhere. It was a good time.

And, like I said, we played, like, a marathon of board games, which was, I love doing that. I always did that growing up, and, you know, we got 90s playlist. I mean, I was just like it was this amazing, fun night. well, what do you think could have gone wrong? You know, we were a little, you know, we got a little flirty, you know, we did some wine. We were kind of cleaning up and finally found ourselves kind of next to each other, had a kiss, which was really amazing.

You know, I just kind of played it cool and kept cleaning. And then she sits down on the counter and we're just chatting. And while I was cleaning, this is like honestly the only thing I can think of is that while I'm cleaning I like accidentally splash a little bit of pizza sauce under her like suede sneakers are pretty nice they're like white sneakers

and she kind of freaked out me a little bit and she said it was late and she just had to go and she kind of just got upset and it was kind of a quick exit I guess it was a fun it was just like a super fun style date with pizza a kiss chemistry was really strong

on and then yeah I texted her the next day you know I was like round two question mark and and like nothing she's just totally I mean she doesn't have like any read receipts but I don't I don't know okay it's just like a little sauce

I mean if that's the reason it's like come on maybe she really loves her shoes and if there's suede that's not necessarily always the easiest to clean yeah yeah she doesn't know unless they're really expensive and she's waiting for you to be like hey I'll buy you a new pair of shoes yeah maybe that's what she wants you know I don't know all right

Well, we'll try to figure it out for you. We'll 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 a second date, okay? All right, sounds good. All right. We'll get your first day follow up next. It may look different, but native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture.

It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like, very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a hundred of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornales, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story, along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation

basketball. Every day, native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream.

God, that sucks so hard, though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you match their pettiness for funsies? Yeah. We had so much fun last season, laughing, crying, talking to some new and old friends.

Remember when we were in that scene where you guys were just supposed to hug and I was standing. Oh, yeah. And I was like, can I also hug them? I'm like, this time. That's no friends. And this time around, we are... Say it, Melissa. Should I? Say it. Getting a little more better.

If you're just joining us for today's first day follow-up, Grayson is on the phone, and he's getting ghosted by Annabelle. 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 before we do that, Grayson, why don't you break down your date again for us real quick? Yeah. We had a great night. She came over. We watched Netflix, play board games, homemade pizza. It was just like a cozy night at home. We had lots of chemistry. We were laughing. The conversation flowed naturally. We had a nice kiss at the end. I thought it was really like sexy kiss. And then she just kind of like a broccoli laugh after I splashed some pizza sauce on her too. And I don't know if that's the reason, but I have not heard from her sense. All right, well.

I feel like she's waiting for you to offer to buy new one. Let's see if the pizza sauce on the shoe did it. You ready for us to call her? Yeah, let's do it. Here we go. Hello? Hi, Ms. Speak to Annabelle, please. This is a radio show.

It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Annabelle. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. Hey. My name is Jubal. Oh, I guess you know the show. What's up? Yeah.

Well, then you've probably heard a first date follow-up before. I have. Awesome. She's so excited about it. Well, guess what, Annabelle? Somebody email us about you. They did. Yep, you know, it's the segment where if you go out on a date with somebody and they end up ghosting you, they can email us to get you on the phone and ask why.

Any idea who would email us? Oh, yep. I know exactly who it is, and I'm sure he's on the phone, right? Yes. he is. Hi, Grayson. How are you? Good to hear from you.

Grayson told us about your date and said he really liked you, but can't figure out why you're ghosting him. Do you want to tell him? And us. Grace, I was just wondering, what do you think that I'm ghosting you for? Like, what is your concern? Why do you think I am? Well, I don't know.

We had an amazing night, and obviously you have no problem answering phone numbers that you don't recognize on your phone, or you won't answer my calls. my guest is maybe because I splashed pizza sauce on your shoe and you were kind of upset by that so that's just the only knock on the entire night that I can think of Grayson

you're so funny. It wasn't the sauce and I said thank you for caring about my safety about answers numbers that I call and accept that's really kind of you but Rachel, honey, it was not the sauce I looked down to look where

the sauce was slung and there was a giant mountain of nail clippings on the floor. Like his apartment floor or a house? Yeah, like I looked to where the sauce was flung because I was like, oh, you know, like he was cute. We had a great time. And I looked down and on the like on the splash right next to it on the floor that was like under this thing, like someone had tried to get them into a trash can was a literally like a DNA pile of nail cleaning. Oh my gosh.

I would have questions Really over nail clippings That's why you won't I mean we had an amazing night And you saw some nail clippings on my floor And you're not you're just gonna Grayson you know that's gross Whoa

It's exaggerating I don't know It was a small You know maybe small hamster sized pile It was A hamster sized pile of nail clippings That's a big pile I think The fact that we're talking about a pile of nail clippings, you guys.

But, like, why wouldn't you, like, want to clean that up before she got to your apartment? I mean, come on, though. First of all, nail clippings is really what threw you totally off? I mean, what about our kiss at the end of the night? I mean, come on. That was amazing. Well, that kiss was amazing. But now I'm sort of like, hmm, you're welcome.

So, I mean, bring it on, Detective Cutable. What's what's going on? What do you have a giant pile of nail clip? We all have little gross corners in our apartments or our houses, and, you know, it's like, everybody's... Oh, my gosh. So you know you have the pile of nail clippings? Yes. I am aware that she found my nail clipping corner in...

Your nail clipping corner? What is what she's describing? Oh, my gosh. Why? She's like, she grew another person with those nails. A tiny, tiny person is running around his fantastically long nails. Oh. Yes.

Okay. So found my nail clipping corner, but why wouldn't you just say something? Why didn't you just say something about it? Why would I say something about it? Yeah. What's the deal? You don't have your nail clipping corner established in your home? I should really figure that out because if you don't, then it's just disgusting that you're clipping your nails anywhere you want.

What? I don't, I'm confused. I say either way, get them away. Either way, clean them away. Can I explain a little bit around the situation? What exactly happened here? I'm kind of joking because I think this whole thing is ridiculous, but can I explain a little something to you

that maybe we'll set some light on this whole situation? Of course. Of course. Bring it. So I actually have a small phobia around nail clippings. I think they're disgusting. I don't like seeing them. I don't like being around them myself. I mean, I don't know

This whole thing seems pretty silly I'm pretty sure everybody has a place That they should be clipping their nails And if you don't have one I don't know, maybe that's a deal breaker for me Are you serious? I mean, I don't know Annabelle Is the nail clipping a deal breaker

If it is for you, maybe it is for me Dude, you do your thing If I, if the lack of my Having a dedicated nail clipping corner Is just crushing your ego I'll let it go Like, it's cool. I get it.

I get it. Not everyone has a place to do that, but I'll think about it. But I really appreciate, you know, I appreciate all the time we're taking up so back. Thank you. Well, how about this? I don't want this nail clipping thing to destroy what I thought was an amazing time. If you maybe want to invite me over for a second date, I'm happy to help you find the nail clipping corner.

Ew. Oh, thank you. Well, Annabel, would you like to run another day with Grayson? We'll pay for it. No, I don't want you to help me with that. I don't need any help with that. Thank you. Oh, no.

No, no. Thank you. I don't need a nail-clipping corner. I don't think anybody does. No, go ahead, Grayson. You do you. I'm going to go be like this gross, disgusting nail-clipping monster at large. I love that you created his system that revolves around you creating pockets of peace.
