This is an I-Heart podcast. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Bernie Sanders. We've talked many times over the years, and today he even throws a few questions my way. Are you ready for another question? Go ahead. Hit me, Bernie.

We talk about the billionaire class, the cost of living, and of course, the government shut down. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players.

It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he, he's. He steals from rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.

So we're saying like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example.

Bella is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Callum, 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 a second date.

But first, Bella, how long has it been since you heard from Callum? About a week. Okay. Have you guys, you know, have you reached out to him at all? Yeah, I've been texting and, like, trying to set up a second date, but I'm getting nothing. Okay. Well, why don't you tell us about the date? Yeah, so, I mean, like, we had a good time.

I thought he was genuinely just, like, a funny guy, just kind, right? It's hard to come by, just like a good, kind guy, not the ones. are like flexing and sending me, like, you know, pictures that I don't want to see. And we had a nice, like, I mean, it is. It's hard. I don't know if you guys are. Yeah, no, it's a win when you don't get an unsolicited package pick for sure. That's a victory.

Yeah, like, I don't mean, I don't want it. All right, so he's not being a creep. That's great. Yeah. We had, like, a cute date, right? It was like a weeknight, kind of like ramen and craft beers. in like a little low lit spot downtown. Okay.

And he had like a good, you know, voice and he just made everything sound cooler. And I'm a big, like, humor person. If they're not funny, like, I just can't do it. And he had the perfect sense of dry humor. And he also was, like, engaging, you know, asking thoughtful questions. Okay. That sounds awesome. But what do you think could have been the problem?

I don't know. Like, so when I get nervous, like especially I'm excited which obviously I was um I tend to like um my stutter comes out a little bit and I was ordering and I was like you know at the ramen place and I'm like hey could I have some extra chili oil so the waiter yeah okay the waiters yeah the waiters that I was joking so I like panic and just kind of like over explained the whole thing okay but like if somebody can't roast you over that. Do you think that's really why? I honestly

have no idea. I mean, we had good conversations, like I said. You know, he had me laughing. There was definitely chemistry. So I just, you know, I'm not sure, you know, why he's doing this. Okay. Well, how did the date end? We had like a super, like, long, lingering, like,

hug, so I think we both enjoyed it. and like there was nothing like that when he believed like he didn't want to see me again or talk to me again well how did he react when you were getting all nervous and stuff he just kind of like looked away like I guess he didn't know like how to deal with it okay so you think it was that awkward where that's the reason that he might be ghosting you yeah honestly like I guess it's like I'm super sensitive about it so it just seemed like a little too familiar like it's happened before late like guys you're like oh you're super cute but you know it's like too much when I start to stumble but I just find it different honestly all right well we'll

see if we can figure it out for you we'll play a song come back and then call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date okay I love that all right we'll get your first day follow up next on the latest episode of next question with me katie currick I sat down with Bernie Sanders, who is 84 years old, has spent 34 years in Congress, and he can still pack a rally with people a quarter of his age. Denver, 34,000 people come out. Salt Lake City, 20,000 people are, you know, huge turnouts. People are really dissatisfied about the status quo.

His fighting oligarchy tour with AOC and other young progressives has become a movement, but is his message too far to the left? Well, he certainly doesn't think so. Is that sound like a radical idea, Katie? Is that too far left for you? Okay, okay. Wait. I get your point, Bernie. We talk about the billionaire class, the cost of living, and of course, the government shutdown, not to mention the current state of the Democratic Party. To me, the failure of the Democratic Party has been an unwillingness to recognize the

that Bella why don't you break down your situation for us again real quick so I met this super cute guy on a lot of dating apps and we He hit it off, I thought. The only thing that I could maybe give a reason why he'd call me back is because I have, like, a little bit of a stutter when I get excited. Oh, I really hope that's not why. Yeah, that would suck if that's the reason. All right, are you ready for us to call him? Yeah, let's do it.

I want to know. Okay, here we go. Hi, hello. Hi, man, speak to Callum, please. Oh, this is Callum. Hey, Callum, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show.

Hi, Callum. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. What's up? Hey, how's it going? Good. Have you ever listened to the show before?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, cool. Well, thank you. Yeah, appreciate it, man. Well, guess what? Sure. Callum, do you know what a first date follow-up is? I do.

All right. Well, that's why we're on the phone. You know, that's a segment where if you go out on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to call you and ask why you're ghosting. And we got an email about you from somebody. Okay. Any idea who that would be? Not a guess, maybe.

Go ahead, take a guess. I'll tell you if you're right. Is her name Bella? Yes, it is. We talked to Bella about your date. She said she really liked you, but doesn't know why you're ghosting. Can you tell us? Yeah, I'm ghosting her because of Mike.

Mike? Who's Mike? Mike. I mean, every story she started was Mike this, Mike that. I mean, after a while I felt like I was a third wheel on the date with Mike. Who is Mike? Did she say who Mike is or just talk about a random person named Mike? Just a random person named Mike.

I seem a friend, but I mean, he came up a lot. So you don't really even know who Mike is? Not really. It was featuring very heavily on the conversation, like much more so than the typical friend, I guess. I mean, it was Mike said I should try this ramen place. Mike taught me how to use chopsticks. Mike thinks all look good and green.

I mean, just non-stop. And you never asked who Mike was? I mean, I didn't ask her to, you know, explain it. I wasn't trying to, like, you know, make a big deal about it, maybe. But, I mean, it was pretty. my time dessert, uh, dessert came, you know, I was like, should Mike be paying for this? Wait, so did it sound like Mike was somebody she was dating? I did not think you were that insecure.

Oh, hey, Callan, that's Bella. She's actually on the phone. You ghosted me over Mike. Oh, yeah. Uh, I forgot she'd be on the phone. Yeah. You ghosted me over Mike. I mean, you made it sound like

you're very personal on earth He's literally just my friend I was nervous And I just like was talking too much That's all You said quote If Mike were here He'd know exactly how to fix this

Chopstick splinter I didn't know whether to laugh Or to ask if Mike wanted to be a plus one I mean it was awkward It was weird You could have asked me Who he was Instead you like lead to

it was pretty obvious that you're like really into them i mean i was curious as i'm wondering why it was coming up at all in a date but um i mean i mean he brings your soup on your sick he fixes your tire yeah that's great i'm happy for you i mean it's just are you sure there's nothing more i mean he's the best guy you know i mean yeah actually he is he just a good he is he just a good person and I was just kind of you know one of you're nervous on a date you just kind of talk about people and he's one of my people

talking about you're comparing me to Mike I mean isn't that kind of weird it's not a competition I mean I don't think it's a competition it's just a matter what you're choosing to talk about on our first date I mean if I sat there

and talked about another woman the entire time I'm sure that you would have had some kind of issue with that it just doesn't say like appropriate dates there let me know you didn't text me back

you could text me back and said hey you know it kind of put me off a little bit and we could have talked about it why so you could tell me more about Mike I'm like you're not going to get over this are you

so um so let me ask it to be really quick have you uh have you ever slept with mike okay this was like 10 years ago one time so you have it was a mistake we're just friends well now i'm picturing if we're doing that and you're thinking mike would do it this way might do it that way whoa oh no calvin would you like another day with bell we'll pay for it Yeah, I don't think no.
