Online at Advocateslaw.com. Daniel is on the phone today and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Penelope. So in a few minutes, we're going to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date. but first we got to find out why he thinks he's getting ghosted. Daniel, why do you think Penelope's ghosting you?

Honestly, in my own opinion, I think it's because I had insulted her cooking. I mean, it kind of started to remember. You insulted her cooking? Why? How? Well, she kind of seemed like she did not think that she needed to add, like, more salt than I thought we needed for this. a certain, like, part of the recipe and... Hey, Daniel, have you done one of these before?

You sound very familiar to me. No. No, no, I've never done anything. Are you sure? No. No. Okay. I mean, it's okay.

I've never, have you before in my life. Okay. In my, I mean, I haven't talked to, yeah, no. Okay. Okay. All right. So... I don't usually get turned down for second dates in the first place.

Right. Okay. All right. You sound exactly like somebody who's done this before. Okay, anyway. Daniel, uh, other people with other, you know,

timbers and voices and I don't know. Maybe I have a doppelganger voice person out there. Maybe. Okay. Maybe. I got to be honest with you, Daniel. I think you're lying to me,

but whatever. We're still going to do this first thing follow up. You're going to call him a liar. I mean, let's just sound exactly like this. I can't remember, but we do so many of these, but anyway.

Let's let him, you know. Um, so. I don't even know if I want your advice anymore. So, Daniel, it's all right. It's all right. So you insulted her cooking. Yeah, so we came over, she came over my house to make food,

and she had this her grandmother's recipe that she was like, this thing is banging, and I tasted the sauce, and I honestly think it. It's not, I thought it needed more salt. And she did not think it needed more salt. And we had a fork in the road immediately right there. Okay. that. Yeah, so maybe you offended her.

You insulted her grandmother, essentially. Yeah. You know what? That, okay, maybe you guys are good for advice because I didn't even think about that. Thank you. It's about the ganny. It's not even about her. The dinner was still good and everything.

Like, we had like nice conversations, but she left really, really quickly. Oh, no. Yeah, and so now she won't get back to me. And, I mean, it's a huge bummer because, I mean, I don't know. I really want this to work out. I want a chance. Well, Daniel is on the phone, and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Penelope. So we're about to call her.

See if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Daniel, why don't you tell us why you think you're getting ghosted again? Yeah, so, I mean, the short of it is that I think I insulted her cooking. And maybe even more show insulted her grandmother's recipe because she had this sauce that she was making that definitely needed more salt. And, you know, I commented that it did. And now she won't call me back. She's not responding to my text, nothing. And you're sure you haven't done one of these first-day follows before.

Dude, you remind me so much of somebody who did one recently. You're about salt in a wound. I'm done with this thing. No. Okay. All right. I literally, this is, I always get second dates, okay? Right.

Got it. I forgot about that part. All right. Didn't you wait here or anything? Okay. Well, are you ready for us to call her? Let's do it. All right.

They're on the line. Here we go. Just don't say any of those things to her, okay. Hello. Hi, I'm looking for Penelope. Yes, this is she. Hey, Penelope, how are you? This is a radio show.

It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Penelope. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. How are you? Wait. What?

The Jubal show. It's a radio show. You ever heard of it? No, I'm sorry. I haven't. Oh, that's fine. Wait. Okay.

You can check it out sometime if you want to. Who? Who? Who? But the reason that we're calling you is because we got an email about you from somebody who does listen to the show. Okay. Okay. We do a segment called the first date follow up.

That's where if you go on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to find out why you're ghosting them. And so you're currently ghosting somebody and they really want to know why. You know who might have emailed us? Yes. has to be booger boy wow what's booger boy's name yeah

does booger boy have like an official name because I don't know if it is or not BB but really we're talking about a guy named Daniel is that booger boy yeah

Daniel Daniel's booger boy oh no how do he get that nickname yeah is that why you're ghosting him because he's nicknamed Bougar boy? That means a good reason. Yeah, he did like this weird thing with like wiping his nose with his sleeve during a like date. What?

So we had a date. I went over to his home and we, you know, we were making that pasta. And the sauce, he said it was like, I guess spicy. And I noticed his nose started like running. and then he just took his sleeve and just wiped his nose. Okay. So that's why you're ghosting him? I mean, yeah, that was pretty gross.

Like, he didn't do it once. He did it a few times. And then it was like, gaudy, slimy. Oh, ew. Okay. We're cooking. We're in the kitchen. Oh.

Okay. Sounds really gross out. Chimples my face. I mean, I can see that as being gross. Like, he didn't use a tissue at all, like not even once? No. Did you offer him one? Not at all.

Like subtly just to be like, can I get you a tissue? I was stuck. Sure. I was stuck because I couldn't believe that he just did that. There's literally paper towels right behind him, and it was just. Oh, yeah. It's bad. And then after the date, you know, I'm leaving, and he went to give me a hug.

And I just, like, I didn't even really want to touch him. I like side-hung him. Like, he should have known I wasn't interested after that. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for telling us. I also have to let you know, too, that Daniel is on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Yeah.

Bougar boys here. Hi, Daniel. Oh, my goodness. Hey, yes, sir, that was not what I expected at all. I mean, I was literally just wiping my nerves. I don't, I did not even think that that was why you weren't calling me back. And also like, you had napkins right there to use. Well, you didn't say anything about it during the time.

Why couldn't you have just broached it at the time? You know, I mean, I think that's like kind of a superficial thing. It's not like a, I don't know. I mean, you just seemed really great. So, like, I really, you know, I wanted to hear from you again. And this is definitely news to me that I'm booger boy. Like, I don't know, do you create nicknames for all your dates, like, after the first date? Because that's kind of like, now I'm like, do I want a second lady?

Is that a red flag? I do. Like, you seem great other than that. But, uh, but yeah, like. I don't know. I was watching you build. mucus momentum. Like I literally saw

the slime from your nose and I just my appetite just left the building. Oh so that's why you didn't eat much. Well that, I guess that makes sense. I honestly thought that you didn't eat much because your grandma's recipe wasn't

really that kid. Probably talked about not seeing that. Yeah. And what do you mean about my grandmother's recipe? It's been in a family over 100 years. Like, that recipe is to perfection. Everyone knows that. I mean, a hundred years, it could have taken a hundred years of refining to it.

Like, I mean, it was too spicy. There was not enough salt. You didn't agree with me on that. It was kind of runny at some points where it shouldn't have been runny. So, I don't know. I'm going to have to disagree here, honestly. Maybe Grandma needs to go back in the kitchen, because that is not perfection.

And honestly, basically, kind of is your fault anyways, because if it wasn't as spicy as it was, my nose would not have ran like that. Yeah, I think I hate you. Wait, don't say that yet, Penelvie. Would you like another day with Daniel? We'll pay for it.

Absolutely not. I mean, come on. Honestly, I still think you're cool, even though you might hate me. Like, I mean, I'm still out here to want to win your, affection, my lady. Come on. What, Alby, what do you think?

One more date? One more date with Bougar boy? Yeah, no, I don't think so. I just hate you. Joubles' first date follow-up.
