But first, J.R., how long has it been since you heard from Marie? Oh, man. A couple days, I guess. Maybe a week now. Okay. Did you try to hit her up? Oh, yeah. I've called a couple times.

I didn't leave a voice message every time I called because I didn't want to sound crazy or whatever, but she's just having called back. I got nothing. All right. Well, tell us about the date. The date was awesome. So we met on the apps. I just was so attracted to how nurturing she seemed. I mean, she had pictures with animals.

She was out in nature, you know, with her friends. I mean, the second we started talking. It was like, I was telling her about how I always wanted to ride a horse, but I've been like real afraid to try and she laughed at it, you know, but like it was that cute kind of laugh. And then she was like really encouraging and we decided that actually our first meeting would be for me to go horseback riding. Oh, that's a cool first date. Yeah, it is. It's like fun. It was amazing.

Like I actually rode a horse. um she was amazing she was like my personal cheerleader she was just so warm and energetic and and i mean she was gorgeous too i just oh i i can't get it out of my mind it was amazing and after we rode horses we you know we each went home to shower and we changed and then we met up for dinner and oh my gosh i'm smiling so hard right now just thinking about it. Like, it was, things, things were going great, you know, we, we even kissed before we went into the restaurant.

Oh, that's a good sign. Really good sign. Oh, my gosh. That's, usually it's like, if you're lucky after dinner, you know, this was right away. And, you know, it set the tone for some real romance. And after dinner, you know, we, we kissed again. And I told her that I was going to. call her this week with a plan for

another adventure, you know? It's just amazing. This is so good. I know. So you're really into her. It sounds like the date went great, though, to have a two-part date and kisses. It feels like there's really great momentum. What could have gone wrong, you think? You know, the only thing

that I can really think of is like, you know, I'm the type of person that, like, sometimes I say the wrong thing at the wrong time. You know, I don't mean to, but, like, We were sitting at dinner, and I noticed that she had, like, a designer handbag and some fancy jewelry. And, you know, she's a teacher.

And right away, I wanted to make a little joke because she had really fancy stuff. So I remember saying, like, hey, were you on OnlyFans or something? Like, you know, how you afford that fancy stuff. And she, it was like the only point where, forget all that romance is she looked just, like, old and then she kind of played it off but she's like I'm just I'm a good thrifter and there was a little awkward moment there you know I moved on from it and I told her you know I said I didn't mean to offend you or anything and told her it was a joke and and that was the only moment that kind of that I can think of that was like oh is that what it was did I really ruin it

by putting my foot in my mouth again okay it sounds like your joke didn't land you got to tell that one right. Just, just right. You gotta tell that one just right for it to land. And not be like, oh. Yeah, okay. Well, yeah, maybe that's why she's not calling you back. We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's

ghosting you and maybe get you another date, okay? Oh my gosh, please. Yes, thank you. All right. We'll play a song, come back and get your first date follow up next. Right in the middle of today's first date, follow up. If you're just joining us, J.R. is on the phone, and he's getting ghosted by Marie. And so in a second, we're going to call her and see if she tells us why she's ghosting in

But before we do that, J.R., why don't you catch us up on your situation? Yeah, so went on the best first day I've ever had. We broke one of my fears going horseback riding. We kissed before dinner, after dinner. It was something straight out of a movie as far as I'm concerned. And I may have put my foot in my mouth, but I think it went really well overall. And I can't get her to get back to me. And I really want to go on another adventure with her.

But your foot in your mouth was there because you actually, if she was on only fans because she had nice things. Yeah. But it was a joke. Right, right. All right, man. Are you ready for us to call her? I'm nervous, but I am absolutely ready.

Okay. Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Marie, please? This is her? Hey, Marie, how are you? My name is Jubal. I'm calling from a radio show.

Because this is a first-eight follow-up. Oh, no. You're ghosting somebody, and they emailed us about you. Do you know who that would be? Yes Who J.R. Yes, J.R.

So he emailed us and told us about your date. He said he really liked you and he's not sure why you're ghosting him. Do you point telling us? Oh, my goodness. I'm so married. Well, I really liked him too, and the date was great and everything.

But to be honest, he was asking some personal questions. and he seemed like he was crying a little bit. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but he, you know, it's getting a little too close to finding out a secret, honestly. And I just don't go out with guys like that. Like inquisitive?

Like guys like that. What do you mean? Yeah, like, you know, nosy, you know. I like to keep my privacy, you know, like my personal business is my business. Okay. What do you mean by that? Well, you know, I just,
