First date of follow up. Jenna is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Luca. 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 another date. But first, Jenna, how long has it been since you heard from Luca?

It has been a week. I haven't heard anything in a week. Okay. That's usually the spot where everybody starts to panic a little bit. How many times did you reach out to him in that time? probably like once a day you know i just usually sent him photos of my dog because he that's how we met our dog totally hit it off and at first i was getting like a little bit of feedback uh and now just nothing okay well let's talk about the date then well we met at a dog park well actually our dogs met

first. His golden doodle literally tackled my pug beans and it felt meant to be. And we ended up grabbing coffee and we just talked for like two hours about astrology, about oat milk conspiracies, about his tattoo that he swears isn't a moon, but it totally is. Okay. Wait, he has a tattoo that he says isn't the moon, but it is? Yeah. He was trying to. say it was like some other I don't even like some other edgy kind of niche thing but I was like that's literally a moon

oh so it's like terrible when people are like that's an artichoke and you're like no the tattoo on my neck is a lotus flower but it does look like an artichael so yeah okay and at one point he literally watched me parallel

park and he didn't even he didn't even judge so I feel like that's intimacy oh yeah being in a way okay like you feel comfortable yeah absolutely it felt so comfortable and so natural well then what could have gone wrong i i truly don't know at one point he wiped oat milk for a foam off of my nose with his finger and he licked it it just made me feel like he was really into me

like i don't know how else to interpret that like it feels like he's he's into me he was into it okay So what do you think the thing is? Why do you think you're getting ghosted? Well, okay. So when he, when he wiped the oat milk off of my nose, I leaned in to kiss his nose. I just felt like since he licks the foam off my nose with his finger,

I just felt it was only right to balance it with like a romantic, like little nose peck. In the moment, it felt really romantic, but the way he reacted was shocked. Really? What did he do?

We laughed about it. What about how silly it was? I thought I was embarrassed, but I thought we were back on track. But maybe he's still thinking about it. I hope not. I'm thinking about it. Jenna is on the phone, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Luca, so we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her.

And maybe get her a second date if she still wants one. But before we do that, Jenna, why don't you break down your date for us again real quick? Well, our dogs had to meet cute in the park. We hid it off. We absolutely vibe. So we went to get coffee and talked for like two hours about everything under the sun, really. And he, the craziest part is that he, like, I had oat milk foam on my nose.

And he wiped it off with his finger and licked it. And you think you might be getting ghosted because at the end of the date, you kissed his nose. To balance the nose action. Yes. At the, there was one awkward moment I was trying to roll with. the whole like kissing the nose thing. And so I kissed his nose and it was awkward. But we laughed it off.

We laughed it off. And so I'm hoping it's not that. But that's the only thing I can think of. What base is nose action? Like that's funny. No, not a lot of days. At first dates have nose action. So that's a pretty good date.

All right. You ready for us to call him? Yes. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Luca, please. This is he. Who's this?

Hey, Luca, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Luca. I'm Nina. Hi, and I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. How are you?

What's up? I'm all right. So there's three you guys? Yeah. You listen to the show ever? Yeah, yeah. I've listened to you guys before. I mean, it's just kind of weird that you guys are calling me, you know?

Sure. Yeah. Well, we're calling you today because we got an email about you from somebody. Okay. A good email or like a bad email? Like, what kind of email? Yeah, it's a great email, actually. but we do a segment called the first date follow-up.

That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. Okay. So we got an email about you from somebody that you're ghosting. Okay. Do you know who that would be?

I mean, I got a guess. I got a guess. Okay. Go ahead, take a guess. I mean, is it Jenna, the lavender latte girl? Yes, it is Jenna. Lavender law. Yes, it is.

Yeah. Can you tell us, my telling us why you're ghosting her? I mean, she was just, she was just kind of weird, you know?

Like, I mean, I mean, be unique, fine, you know, but like she brought a crystal to the coffee date.

Like she, like a literal amethyst and sat on the table said it needed to charge. And she proceeded to give me like a 12-minute speech about how she and her dog are twin souls.

Oh. You know, like, Okay. She asked me if I ever felt emotionally manipulated by her coffee order. You know, like, what? Emotionally manipulated by her coffee order? What does that mean?

Yeah. Yeah. That was a conversation starter. It's a death, Luca. Luca, that's Jenna. She's on the phone and wants to talk to you. Yeah. Yeah, oh, great.

Yeah. Blindsided by that. That's nice. What's up, Jenna? I was just being authentic. But you literally said that you wanted someone grab, It sounded in real, so I showed up real. You asked the barista if the oak milk had been vibe checked.

Like, it was a little odd. Because Mercury was acting weird. Energy matters. I mean, you also tried to stage the table. You know, like, that's the... It was Palisanto. I was protecting our connection. I just slightly, lightly, lightly burned it.

Jenna, listen, you're super interesting. you're funny, but did you notice that I barely said two words about myself? What? No, we had like a great flow. Let's see, you had a monologue, right? I know about your dog's dreams, your third eye chakra, your plant abandonment issues. What about me? Did you even know that I'm an engineer?

Oh, you're an engineer? That's cool. That's dope. So I guess that's a no, Jenna. You didn't know. You didn't know that. No, I didn't. Yeah, that's because we never got to meet in the conversation.

It was just, I mean, you don't know that I moved here, where I moved from, or that I just simply don't believe in the chakras and the crystals and all this. You just moved here from where? I don't think that's the point, Jenna. Okay. I'm sorry for being in tune with myself. I'm not trying to knock it, all right? Like, you know, I just felt like you weren't really open to who I am. You know, you were interviewing me for a vibe check.

Like you wanted to see if our vibes match and that's it. I thought that we clicked. I mean, you're not, you're not boring. All right, I'll give you that. Well, okay, what if we try again? And maybe we do something quieter. like a walk with the dogs and no talking about past lives good bounder Luca would you like another day with Jenna will pay for it listen Jenna I think you're a

lot of things but just maybe not my thing okay like you're cool but I don't think so just admit it you bribed more with my dog than me oh yeah 100% your dog is chill like I love the dog that's because he's spiritually grounded unlike some people can I can I go on a second date with just a dog is that cool um I mean no we're inseparable he gets separation anxiety I couldn't just give you him I think he was joking but oh okay well then I mean yeah sure okay Jubil's first day follow.
