Grayson is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Annabel.

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 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 like it was last weekend. So it's been, yeah, three, 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. So. 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 spot.

We were like, we were smiling. We were laughing immediately. I mean, she's got these really great comeback. 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's crushing me at trivial pursuit.

I mean, she's got, you know, there's, there you go. There's a triple threat right there. 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 like to cook. So we made some like homemade pizza, you know, something that 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, at the end of the night, 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, and this is where I, this is like, honestly, the only thing I think of is that while I'm cleaning, I like accidentally splash a little bit of pizza sauce under

under her like suede sneakers. They're pretty nice. They're like white sneakers and she kind of freaked on me a little bit. Um, 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. Like I said, it was a fun. It was just like a super fun style date with pizza, a kiss, chemistry was really strong. Um, and then yeah, text her to her the next day. I was like round two question mark and like nothing. Grayson is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Annabel. 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. We came over. We watched Netflix, like board games, homemade pizzas, 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 we were really like sexy kiss.

And then she just kind of like a broccoli left after I splashed some pizza sauce on her shoe. And I don't know if that's the reason, but I have not heard from her sense. All right. I feel like she's waiting for you to offer to buy you 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, miss. Speak to Annabelle, please. This she. Hey, Annabelle, how are you? 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, Annabel? Somebody email us about you. They did. Yeah. 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. Um, oh, yep, I know, I know exactly who it is and I'm sure he's on the phone, right? Yes, he is. Hi, Grayson. Hi, Graham. How are you? Good evening 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, but 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 the only knock on the entire night that I can think of. Grayson, you're so funny.

Wasn't that sauce? And I thank you for caring about my safety, about answers, numbers that I call and accept. That's really kind of you, but, um, Rachel, honey, it was not a sauce. I looked down to look where the sauce was slunk, and, um, there was a giant mountain of nail-hoping on the floor. Like his apartment floor or house or whatever? Yeah, like, 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, um, and I looked down and on the, like, on the splash right next to it on the floor, that was like,

with this thing like someone had tried to get them into a trash can was a literally like a DNA pile of nail clipping. Oh my gosh. I would have questions. Yeah. Really over nail clippings is 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 going to. Grayson, you know that's gross. Well, um.

Exactly. It was like, I don't know. It was a small, you know, maybe small hamster. pile. I mean, it was an 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, we'd 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 we 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 well. Welcome.

So, I mean, bring it on Detective Cutable. What's what's going on? Why have a giant pile of nail clippings? We all have little gross corners in our apartments or our houses. And, you know, it's like everybody. Oh, my gosh. So you know you have the pile of nail clippings. Yes.

I am aware that she found my nail clipping corner. Your nail clipping corner? her hair is bad as what she's describing. Oh, my gosh. Why? Like, he 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 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 this is the nail clippings is a deal breaker? If it is for you, maybe it is for me. Listen, dude, you, 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. 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 still 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. No. 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. 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 March.
