This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Ryan is on the phone today for our first day. Follow up and he's getting ghosted by Morgan. 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 a second date. But first, Ryan, how long has it been to hear from Morgan? Not long, about six days, but definitely like long enough to answer a text that just says, like, hey, I had fun with you, you know? Yeah.

Yeah. Did you try to reach out to her a couple times or was that the only one? you left it there. No, I just said, like, hey, I had a really good time and, you know, let's get together next week. We had talked at the end of, you know, after dinner last week, so I don't know, just kind of weird. That's all. Okay. Tell us about the date.

Well, it was nice. It was really nice. It was actually like we kind of skipped over any kind of, like an awkward phase. It just, we just sort of clicked. We went to this little Italian restaurant. Very, very classic, a hole in the wall, got the exposed brick. Just a really nice, nice little spot. It was cool.

It was chill. I love those places. Yeah. It was kind of sleepy and split a bottle of red, ordered too much pasta. And it was nice, you know, at the end, we kissed, and it was like real. It was like a real kiss. It wasn't like, you know, see you later. It was like, there's something here.

At least I thought there was. Okay, walk us through how that happened. Did you lean in and grab her cheek? Did she lean in and you just turned your head? Like, how did it go down? I walked her back to her car and, you know, it just, we locked eyes and it just felt natural. Okay. Okay.

Why do you think you're getting ghosted then? I'm not sure. I mean Like I said Things seems Cool I mean The only thing I could think is

This place The Italian place They're like known for their bread And apparently she She had been there before I was obsessed with the bread They bring it like Hot and fresh right out of the oven

And so she was telling me a story And it was kind of funny And I was taking a sip of my water And I like laughed and I kind of I hit the bread, but it was like it was whatever. It's only a few drops or, you know, it seemed

like she had looked past it, but maybe it's the bread, I don't know. And you didn't get her new bread? Maybe that's why. We got there was a lot, there was more bread, obviously, but yeah, I'm just trying to think about anything that could have gone wrong or anything that would have

been weird or off or anything like that. Yeah. Spitting on bread you're excited to eat is kind of like Oops. Okay. And that's the only thing you can think of? Yeah. Did she say she wanted to see you again?

Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, you know, there was a vibe. It was cool. Like, like I said at the end there, there was, you know, there was a real kiss. Like, I had to, like, lean against the parking meter afterward just to. Was it bad? Like, I know that you knew.

I don't know. Like, you know that it was nice. I'm just wondering, like, if there was some kind of moment, like, did your teeth tubs? Are you a little slobary? No, nothing crazy like that. No. Ryan is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Morgan, 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 if he still wants one. But before we do that, Ryan, why don't you break down your situation for us real quick?

I went out with this girl, Morgan, and took her to dinner. We had a really good time. I accidentally spit on her bread. I hope that has nothing to do with this. And I don't know, we got along really, really well, and I walked you back to her car and we kissed. And then nothing, crickets, you know, just. Okay. Brett is not a euphemism.

He legit spit on her. I'm going to say that line. It wasn't code for anything. All right, Ryan, are you ready for us to call her? Yeah, yeah. Let's get her on the line. I'm curious. I want to see what's going on.

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

And my name is Jubal. How are you? Well, hi. There's a lot of you. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever listened to the show before? I feel like I shouldn't say no. Be honest. All right. Well, you... I listen to a lot of podcasts.

Okay. Great. We have one of those ones. Yeah. We'll check it out sometime. Yeah. But we're calling you today because we actually got an email about you. Okay. So we do a segment on the show. It's called the first date follow-up. That's where if you go out on a date with someone and then you ghost them,

that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. Is there anybody that you're ghosting that you think would email us? Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm shocked that it would be so important that they would call into a radio station. But I can think of the couple. That's flattering, Morgan. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm talking about Ryan. Okay. Do you mind telling us why you're ghosting Ryan? Yeah. Sure, why not? Okay, so Ryan and I went on a date. It was a good date. We had a great time,

and I decided I didn't want to see him again, and I don't feel bad about it. So that's like, I can tell you why. Yeah, that's what we want to know. Got it, got it, got it. Thank you. Okay, so I got home, I looked in the mirror, and I realized I had a huge piece of lettuce in my teeth,

like fully in the front of my teeth, and he said nothing, and that's a deal breaker for me. Okay, so why is that a deal breaker? I mean, I can see how it's kind of embarrassing, and it's not awesome to see when you get home from a date, but why is that something that you're just calling it good on? I don't know. Can you imagine like we're talking for hours. We're flirting. I'm smiling at him and telling him stories. We're gazing into each other's eyes across a candlelit table. And the whole time I've let us in my teeth and he didn't tell me. Like to me that's just like not the kind of person I hang out with. I want to hang out with someone who's going to tell me I have lettuce in my teeth. What if you didn't see it? then he's blind

that's not possible and if he really really didn't then he's not observant and I still don't want to be with someone like that but I find it really hard to believe he didn't see it I know it sounds silly but I get you girl

I get like that in the studio sometimes when I notice I have food in my teeth and Jubal and Victoria didn't tell me hey man we didn't see it though there's a lot of times I don't see it okay so maybe we really didn't see it People don't say this would be annoying. Hey, Morgan, that's Ryan.

He's actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you, by the one. Hey, I'm sorry, this is about lettuce in your teeth. Yeah. Oh, like, well, so, but hold on. And you're telling me like your life story. I want to be really clear. It's not a random flip-up. That's a violation of my trust.

It indicates who you are as a person. Okay, but you're like bearing your soul to me. to stop you and be like, hey, your mouth looks like a compost bin? Oh, gosh. Yes, because one, if you're not grossed out by that problem, and two, yes, you're supposed to have someone's back so they don't make a fool of themselves. I barely know this, okay. I go, what else are you keeping from me?

I don't want them forward. This is like some sort of a test or something? Yeah, kind of. No. Yeah. Hold on. Are you saying you're saying you knew you had food in your teeth and, and you're waiting for me to say something?

Yeah, it's a perfect test. The real ones will say something. They care enough to say something. They're not trying to be nice. I don't want someone to be nice to me. I want someone to be real with me. You put the food in your teeth on purpose? Yeah.

Oh. This is. You know what's time. That's a good turn. That is. First of all, that is so manipulative. I don't really even know what to say. That's, you know what?

You have issues. Look, let me just remind you. We're talking about this on the radio show. So I feel like my assessment of you that's correct. I cannot believe this is happening. Second of all, I do this on every date and it hasn't failed me. You know what? I put a little bit of, like a leaf, a little bit of something, deliberately leave it there.

If they call it out, they pass. If you let me walk around, if I said, Hey, Morgan, your teeth look like a salad bar, we'd be going out? Yeah, I feel like we'd be planning we can get away and say it was a great way. I think you really seriously need therapy and a toothpick.

I feel like it's a reflection of your character, so you can say that I'm insane. But knowing that you left me like that for hours, it feels like the whole thing was fake, and it's very embarrassing for me. Cool. Well, next time I'll carry dental floss, and one of those little bids they give you

when you're getting your teeth cleaned. Yeah, no, there's not going to be it next time because it's not about carrying dental floss, it's about being honest to my face. Are you sure, Morgan? Do you want another date with Ryan? We'll pay for it. No.

No. Honestly, I think I think I'm good. good because you're telling me you're running psychological experiments on the men you go to dinner with. You're, I'm good. This is, but thanks. I'm glad we got to the bottom of this. It's a new kind of test. I would, the thing is, I would never do that to you.

I would have your back. So you can see it as a manipulation, but it's, it's sort of like, it's a right of passage. it tells me what I need to know. I'm not a manipulative person in general. So you can tell yourself whatever you want. You're fake. You're fake with me. All right.

Good luck, guys. Sorry, Ryan and Morgan, thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Joubles' first date follow-up. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
