Bella is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Callum, 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 first, Bella, how long has it been since you heard from Callum? About a week. Okay. Have you guys, you know, have you reached out to him at all? Yeah, I've been texting and, like, trying to set up a second date, but I'm getting nothing. Okay. Well, why don't you tell us about the date? Yeah.

So, I mean, like, we had a good time. I thought he was genuinely just like a funny guy, just kind, right? It's hard to come by, just like a good, kind guy, not the ones. that are like flex in and sending me like, you know, pictures that I don't want to see. And we had a nice, like, I mean, it is. It's hard. I don't know if you guys are. Yeah, no.

It's a win when you don't get an unsolicited package bag for sure. That's a victory. Yeah, like, I don't mean, I don't want it. All right. So he's not being a creep. That's great. Yeah. We had like a cute date, right?

It was like a weeknight, kind of like ramen and craft beers. in like a little low lit spot downtown. Okay. He had like a good, you know, voice and he just made everything sound cooler. And I'm a big, like, humor person. If they're not funny, like, I just can't do it. And he had the perfect sense of dry humor. And he also was, like, engaging, you know, asking thoughtful questions.

Okay. That sounds awesome. But what do you think could have been the problem? I don't know. Like, so when I get nervous, like especially I'm excited, which obviously I was. I tend to like, you know, my stutter comes out a little bit. And I was ordering and I was like, you know, at the ramen place.

And I'm like, hey, could I have some extra chili oil? So the waiter, yeah. Okay. The waiter, yeah, the waiters that I was joking. So I like panicked and just kind of like over explained the whole thing. Okay, but like if somebody can't. ghost you over that. Do you think that's really why? I honestly have no idea. I mean, we had

good conversations, like I said. You know, he had me laughing. There was definitely chemistry. So I just, you know, I'm not sure, you know, why he's doing this. So you think it was that awkward where that's the reason that he might be ghosting you? Yeah. Honestly, like, I guess it's like I'm super sensitive about it. So it just seems like a little too familiar. Like, it's happened before late like guys are like oh you're super cute but you know it's like too much when I start to stumble but I just find it different honestly all right well we'll see if we can

figure it out for you Bella why don't you break down your situation for us again real quick so I met this super cute guy on one of the dating apps and we hit it off I thought the only thing that I could maybe give a reason why he's not calling back is because I have like a little bit of a stutter when I get excited. Oh, I really hope that's not why. Yeah, that would suck if that's the reason. All right, are you ready for us to call him? Yeah, let's do what I want to know.

Okay, here we go. Hi, man, speak to Callum, please. Oh, this is Callum. Hey, Callum, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Callum, I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria.

And my name's Jubal. What's up? Hey, how's it going? Good. Have you ever listened to the show before? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, cool. Thank you.

Yeah, appreciate it, man. man. Well, guess what? Callum, do you know what a first date follow-up is? I do. All right. Well, that's why we're on the phone. You know, that's a segment where if you go out on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to call you and ask why you're ghosting. And we got an email about you from somebody. Okay.

Any idea who that would be? Not a guess, maybe. Go ahead, take a guess. I'll tell you if you're right. Is her name Bella? Yes, it is. We talked to Bella about your date. She said she really liked you, but doesn't know why you're ghosting her. Can you tell us?

Yeah, I'm ghosting her because of Mike. Mike? Who's Mike? Mike. I mean, every story she started was Mike this, Mike that. I mean, after a while, I felt like I was a third wheel on the date with Mike. Who is Mike? Did she say who Mike is?

or just talking about a random person named Mike? Just a random person named Mike. I seem a friend, but, I mean, he came up a lot. So you don't really even know who Mike is? Not really. It was featuring very heavily on the conversation, like much more so than the typical friend, I guess. I mean, it was Mike said I should try this ramen place.

Mike taught me how to use chopsticks. Mike thinks all are good and green. I mean, just nonstop. And you never asked who Mike was? I mean, I didn't ask her to, you know, explain it. I wasn't trying to like, you know, make a big deal about it maybe, but, I mean, it was pretty obnoxious. The time dessert came, you know, I was like, should Mike be paying for this? Wait, so did it sound like Mike was somebody she was dating?

I did not think you were that insecure. Oh, hey, Callum, that's Bella. She's actually on the phone. You ghosted me over Mike? Oh, yeah. I forgot she'd be on the phone. Yeah. You go to me over Mike.

I mean, you made it sound like they're very personal on earth. He's literally just my friend. I was nervous and I just like was talking too much, that's all. You said, quote, if Mike were here, he'd know exactly how to fix this chopstick splinter. I didn't know whether to laugh or to ask if Mike wanted to be a plus one. I mean, it was awkward. It was weird. You could have asked me who he was and said you, like, lead to...

It was, I mean, it's pretty obvious that you were, like, really into him. I mean, I was curious as I'm wondering why it was coming up at all in a date, but, I mean... I mean, he's a good... He's a good... ...he brings your suit and he fixes your tire. Yeah, that's great. I'm happy for you. I mean, it's just...

Are you sure there's nothing more? I mean, he's the best guy you know. No, he's just a good friend. Yeah, actually. He is. He's just a good person. And I was just kind of, you know, when he's nervous on a date,

he's kind of talk about people. And he's one of my people. It sounds like he is your person. Well, no. I mean, that's kind of what it sounded like to me. That's kind of what it sounded like to me. I don't know. I just wasn't really over the top for first date.

I mean. Okay. Well, and Mike wouldn't ghost me. like you did. See, I mean, that's what I'm talking about. You're comparing me to Mike. I mean, isn't that kind of weird? It's not a competition.

I mean, I don't think it's a competition. It's just a matter what you're choosing to talk about on a first date. I mean, if I sat there and talked about another woman the entire time, I'm sure that you would have had some kind of issue with that. It just doesn't seem like an appropriate date fair. Let me know. You didn't text me back. You could have text me back and said, hey, you know,

it kind of put me off a little bit and we could have talked about it. Why? So you could tell me more about Mike? You're not going to get over this, are you? So let me ask it to be really quick. Have you ever slept with Mike? Okay. This was like 10 years ago one time.

So you have. It was a mistake. We're just friends. Well, now I'm picturing if we're doing that, You're thinking Mike would do it this way, might be do it that way. Whoa. Oh, no. Callum, would you like another date with Bella will pay for it?

Yeah, I don't think no. Mike's already won this one. I was going to be with that guy. I told you it wasn't a competition. Yeah, that's fine. But, I mean, there's a second date for me. Good luck. Whatever.

I'm going to go call Mike and see what he thinks about this. Joubles first date follow-up. There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. Evil, wake up.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things.

As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what. it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
