But first, Leslie, why don't you run down your date again for us real quick? Yeah, it was my favorite date of my life. He planned everything. It was goat yoga, followed by a picnic, which was amazing. And, yeah, I was really, really into him and maybe embarrassed that, like, I piqued myself a little bit laughing and mentioned, like, marriage in the first date, like, as a joke. And he laughed, but yeah. So you're just kind of unsure, replaying some moments. Yeah, it's been a week, so.

Well, are you ready for us to call him? Yeah, let's do it. All right, here we go. Hello. Hi, man, I speak to Neil, please. Okay, yes, I'm here. Hey, Neil, how are you? This is a radio show.

It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Neil. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. What's up? How's it going? Is there, how'd you get my number?

Well, we got it because we do a segment on the show that's 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 ask us to get you on the phone and find out why. So we got an email about you from someone that you've been on a date. date with, but now you are not talking to him. Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, my God. I can't believe this is happening. Yeah. I mean, I know, I think I know who it is. Leslie. Uh, uh, Leslie.

He said, of course. Yeah, of course. Why? Of course. Hey, can you, do you mind telling us why you're ghosting her? Yeah. She stuck her finger in, and the hummus. And, is that hummus or not in her portion of the food? We're actually talking about actual hummus. That's what we needed to get up. Uh, yes, I'm, I'm talking about actual hummus, yes. Okay.

Okay. So how did she get her finger in there? Well, I had planned a date, right? And then I, um, uh, brought like a little picnic and we had hummus and it was like, uh, our community, like, hummus bowl. And she looked me dead in the eyes. She was just looking right at me. And then she just dragged her finger across it and then, like, licked it off. Like to be sexy?

Uh, um, I don't know, maybe. But I just think is, is it ever okay to, like, put your finger inside, like, a community bowl of hummus that people are eating when you have dirty hands? I guess that's kind of questionable. Depends on who, yeah, situational. Who are you with? So you just didn't like it, huh? No, I mean, I called her out on it. And she's like, oh, you know, you're so funny.

You're going to, I mean, literally verbatim. You're going to kiss me later anyway. What's the difference between my finger and my mouth? I mean, come on. Hello, ma'am. Look, I was being absolutely serious. And she had no idea that I would be serious. She thought I was joking, but I was being serious.

And so that's just another thing that I see. You know, she can't tell the difference between me being serious or not being serious. And she just goes in her own thing. It just proves that our communication is actually good in the future. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Oh, my God, Neil, Neil, you're making it sound like, hi. Hi, guys.

Neil, that's Leslie. She's actually on the phone listing and wants to talk to you. Yeah, you're making it sound like I committed a crime, a literal crime. It was hummus. It's like not a felon. like I was being playful ever heard of it like on a date that's what you know let's okay playful it's not playful right I what would you call that's culinary assault is what I would call it oh come on oh come on oh hey it's not like I

just double dipped it was a one-time swipe one finger one leg boom like you're actually like this is a huge freaking deal yeah yeah yeah no just a farmless public health violation you're serious about this not Neil no it's not you can It's crazy. Don't throw us away over like literal hummus. This is pathetic. Like I'll literally buy you your own hummus, okay? Like a lifetime supply.

I don't care. You'll never have to share like a chickpee with me again. I swear. Come on. And that's another thing. I kind of would prefer a woman who kind of would stick to her guns about it, but you fold it so quickly over this thing. And buying me something isn't fixing the issue.

Oh, so I can't. I can't win. I can't win here. Like, if I am actually, like, saying to you, like, I'll make you happy and not eat hummus with you ever again. Like, you're now turning it on me. I literally, I'll wear gloves to dinner, okay? I'll eat with chopsticks only. I don't even care.

Okay, straws. I'll use straws. How about that? Whatever it takes, Neil, and you're, that's just me being committed. Okay. She really likes you, Neil. Yeah. I don't see it as her folding.

I see it as she likes you. Just compromising. Yeah. I don't know. I think the wishy watching is she's not really helping her case. Okay. You have to admit it, though. Come on.

Like, part of you thought it was hot. There was no way. Like, a woman being bold enough to claim her whole hummus bowl, that's passion. That's, like, that's dedication. No, that's bacteria. That's what that is. Oh. Please, come, I like, don't, is it so stupid that you're ghosting me over chickpeas?

Like, I actually really like you. Like, if it's doable on these guys, like, they'll tell you, like, I really like you. And I promise I'll never use my finger, okay? I promise. It's just like, this is ridiculous. Am I wrong? Oh, Leslie. Why is so laughing?

Oh, honey, you're really putting yourself out there. Neil, she really likes you. Yeah. Neil, would you like to go on another date with Leslie? We'll pay for it. No. Oh. She looks like a cat.

I'm out. What? That is not what happened. You guys, I was playful. I was pretending to go dared me to do it. That's funny. It was a joke. Leslie, you looked at me,

and you said, now it's our hum, that's not a joke. I don't know, that to me. That's a hostage situation. Look, I know funny. Yeah. Like, you call it a joke. That is not a joke.

You're not Dave Chappelle. That is, like, it wasn't funny. Nah, but, like, I'm quirky. Everyone tells me I'm corky, and I'm not, it's not that I'm unsanitary. I'm just corky, and I swear I'm not, like, usually a dip liquor.

Like, this isn't my deal. It's not my bag. You can't say not, usually and expect me to be comforted by that. What does that mean? You know, like, listen to me for a second. Like, don't listen to any of the noise in your head. Like, give me just, like, another chance.

Like, I'll buy you all the hummus you want. Like, I'll do it right now. I'm going to go to the grocery store anyway in, like, five minutes. And then I'll never even, I'll, like, never even look at a chickpeak again. Wow, she really wants to go out with you. Oh, okay, guys. So my love of life depends on the hummus band. No, no, thank you.
