Madison is on the phone today for a first date follow up and she's getting ghosted by guy named Jake. So in a second, we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But first,

Madison, why do you think you're getting ghosted? I think Jake's intimidated by my social media following. Oh, really? Why? How many followers you got, girl?

I'm just kidding. I don't know, like a couple hundred thousand. Oh, not like that much. That's a big following. That's a big following. And you think that he's ghosting you because he's intimidated by your,

your social media numbers. I just don't think he can handle the fact that I'm successful and have a large following. Okay. Why do you, why do you think he feels that way? I don't know. He just got really awkward, like halfway through the day.

And then after, I immediately followed him on my Instagram because I kind of take it pretty seriously. But then he never followed me back. Okay. Oh, all right. And you're an influencer. That's what you do for a job. Like,

that's how you make your money. I mean, I have some side gigs, but yeah, that's my main source of income. I don't understand why he's pooing. He just has a boring, like, nine to five job, you know, like nothing special. Okay. It's a normal job. Yeah. It has a job.

Right. I feel like maybe that made him insecure. And then on top of that, I just started showing him a few videos about my page. And I think that's where he got really intimidated. Just by seeing, like, how many. like the number of people that follow you and like how popular you are. I mean, you said several hundred thousand. That's a good following.

Yeah. Yeah. I honestly, I feel like he's low-key jealous. Okay. Well, would you want another date with him if he was jealous of your social media following since yours is so much bigger than his? I mean, maybe I could make it work, you know? Like, I'm not opposed.

Did he say he also, like, wants to be an influencer or he's happy with his boring normal job? No, I mean, he seemed pretty happy with his boring job. Okay. Do you think he's jealous or insecure? Yeah, I mean, it's not like this is the first time this has happened. Guys see me on my, like, my spiritual Instagram journey, and they get pretty jealous or intimidated. Okay.

Well, Madison is on the phone, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Jake, 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. But before we do that, Madison, why don't you remind us why you think you're getting ghosted again? Hello everybody. I think I'm getting ghosted because he's intimidated by my social numbers. Okay. And you said you have like a couple hundred thousand people that follow you. Yeah. I just feel like he's jealous that he didn't get to have a cool job and he's got to go to work every day. It's boring nine to five. And did he see somebody like you? And he's like, I don't know if I could handle her because, you know, she's like in demand basically. Like that's kind of what I'm saying.

I think maybe he's going to freak out if people on the streets like know who I am. Right. Okay. That would be hard. Not everything's made for that. But you liked him and you would like a second date if it's, if. Yeah, I mean, like the vibe was pretty good during the first, like half of it until I showed him my following. All right. Well, here we go.

I'm going to dial this one over right now, okay? Okay. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Jake, please? This is it. Hey, Jake, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show.

She's doing eyeliner and you can see it crawling. And, like, it's impressive that she's not smearing. But, like, I... Wow. But what is, like, what germs are getting in your eye? Do you know what I mean? Okay. I don't want bed.

I don't want rats on my bed sheet. She had them, like, on her pillow. You know what I mean? And Matton's sleeping on a pillow after seeing a rat on it. Well, they're not sewer rats, right?
