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. 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, um, it was 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, uh, Italian restaurant, very, very classic, you know, hole in the wall, got the exposed brick. Just a really nice, nice little spot. It was, it was cool. It was chill.

I love those places. Yeah. It was kind of, kind of sleepy and, uh, uh, split a bottle of red. I 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, it was 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? Does she lean in and you just turned your head? Like, how did it go down? I walked her, 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, 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 had been there before and 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. Because we got we got we 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, spinning on bread you're excited to eat is kind of like, oops. Okay, and that's the only thing you can think of? Yeah.

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 her back to her car and we kissed. And then nothing, crickets, you know, just. Bread is not a euphemism. He legit spit on her. No, 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. Hello. Hi, man, speak to Morgan, please. This is she. Hey, Morgan, how are you? This is 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. 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 they're a good problem. 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? 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, yeah, that's what. Oh, no. Got it. Got it. Got it. Thank you.

Okay. So I got home. I looked in the mirror and I realized that had a huge piece of lettuce in my face, like, 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 just let it's 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 a zervant and nice 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. Yeah, there's a lot of times I don't see it. Okay, so maybe we really didn't see it. Whoa, wait, hold on. 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, my. Well, so, but hold on. It's not, 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. I'm supposed 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. They don't make a fool of themselves. I barely noticed, okay.

I go, what else are you keeping from me? I don't want to move 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 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. say something. They're not trying to be nice. I don't want something to be nice to me. I want someone to be real with me. You put the food in your teeth on purpose? Yeah. Yeah. Oh. This is. 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 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 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 bibs they give you when you're getting your teeth clean. This is great. There's not going to be a next time because you didn't, it's not about carrying dental thoughts. 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'm 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, mm-mm.

But thanks. I'm glad we got to the bottom of this. It's a new kind of test. 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 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 you for 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. for luck.
