This is an I-Heart podcast. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Jasmine Crockett, Democratic Representative of Texas. She's holding out the fork for her party in one of the most conservative states in the Union. I think that ultimately, who will become the Democratic nominee for president will be someone that has been out there and has shown that they won't allow themselves to be punched and just say thank you. Like, they will punch back. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Conservative podcasts can have a major political impact, but the Myceles Brothers, three siblings with a serious media strategy, are building an alternative to that.

We should be focusing on the issues that actually occupy a lot of the mental space in Americans' minds but are filled with conspiracies, and we should fill it with the truth and solutions.

If you're just joining us, Bree is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Jeff. So we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date. But before we do that, Bree, why don't you catch everybody up on your situation?

Okay, his name is Jeff. We met on Hinge, best date of my life. Very thoughtful, very kind. Now has been ghosting me for four days. My friends think it's because maybe I overshed, maybe I, like, came on too strong. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Rod Dog, help, right.

Yep, it must have been what it was. All right. Well, are you ready for us to call him? Yes, please. All right, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Jeff, please? This is Jeff.

Jeff, how are you? My name is Jubal, and I host the radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Jeff. The whole show's here. I'm Nina. Hi, and I'm Victoria. Hi, guys.

How are you? Good. How are you? What do I owe the honor? Have you ever listened to the show before? Once or twice. We do a segment on the show. It's called the first date follow-up.

So that's where if you go out on a date with somebody and end up ghosting them, that person can have us get you on the phone to ask why you're ghosting them. So we got an email about you, Sucka. This is already a lot. You need to be very nice and, like, coaxing. But we got an email about you. I think I see where this is going. Yeah.

About Kaelin. No. I'm sorry. Her name is Bree. You're busy, Jeff. Yeah, never mind about that, Kailen. Okay. I mean, I heard it, but okay.

I'm going to give you the short answer. Bree, re- lied to me. He's a liar. About what? About her age. I mean, she was, I liked it. I liked her a lot, so I went. And, you know, I did the proverbial scouting technique where you go on, you know, social media, find out things about them.

And I found out that her actually, she told me she was 33. Her, the app said she was 33. I'm 30 years old. Turns out she's 38. What? And yeah, yeah, kind of like, um, testing me for a loop. I was like, well, we had a lot in common. We shared a lot of stuff.

We had, I had a great day. I thought we had a good time. but I just don't do well with liars. How do you know she's lying about her age? Well, her, because her birthday on her social media page. Okay. And then you asked her her real birthday or something. Like, how did you find out the real birthday?

Yeah. It shows on apps, like how old they are on what else. Right, but then so she said she's... On her hand, she said she was 33. Okay, so it said she was, but then you saw her birthday on what? On her social media, on her Facebook page. Oh, okay. So you didn't ask her about that?

Well, I didn't really need to ask her anything. I mean, she already lied to me. She's going to lie to me again? What are you asking? You're not supposed to have a woman or age, right? I mean, maybe it's like an accident. Maybe it was like a typo. All of a sudden, you put in the wrong number and you're 38.

I don't know. I just feel like, does it matter how old she is, though? Like, is that really what bothers you? No, don't get it twisted. It's not about her age. Okay. It's about the fact that she wasn't forthcoming. It's about, I've had my own past experience that,

tell my lies about the little thing, the next thing you know, everything. So it's just kind of a deal breaker for me, you know. So we spiral a little bit. That kind of makes sense. Okay. Well, thanks for telling us, Jeff. I appreciate that. Thank you.

Also, Bree is on the phone. She's been listening this whole time and wants to talk to you. Oh. Oh, okay. Bree? Hi, Jeff. Hi, Bree. Yes.

The age on hinge is not correct. However, you would not have met me if I didn't fudge the number a little bit. Oh, so you know you did. There's so many, it's not, people normally don't bump the age up to 35, so I've noticed that the pool is much smaller. So I just reduced my age by a little bit. An age is nothing but a number, so I didn't think it was a big deal. And I didn't realize he was Googling me. I think it's safe to assume that any time you go on a date, you're at risk of being Googled.

He should have asked me. You didn't even ask me. You just assumed that I'm like a big liar because of the hinge? Well, I mean, honestly, it should have been one of the things you addressed on our date. You know, I mean, maybe something about letting me know that, by the way, you know, maybe it wouldn't have been such a shock to me had I heard it from your, them out instead of finding out on my own okay I understand that my intention was never to not tell you I was planning on telling you and then I just kind of got caught up and everything and forgot about it

and got nervous and then it was just in the moment the plan was never not to tell you so have you lied to me about anything else is there anything else you want to come clean about or no that's that's it I don't know why I would lie about anything else so uh You know, we were listening there at the jukebox and you play all these songs. I mean, Flowers, you know, by Miley, is that not your favorite song? Are you lied about that, too? No. That is my favorite song.

You saw me sing to it loudly. That is definitely my favorite song. I mean, did you like the food that we had? Did you like my neighborhood spot there? Or did you lie about that as well? I ate the food. I just enjoyed the food. It was great.

I think Jeff has some trust issues. And that's okay. I'm not a liar. I'm not a bad person. I'm not, like, trying to trick you. Nobody after 35, like, there's a cutoff on Hinch. I don't know why. So the pool is small for dating options.

So I just made my net a little wider, and I wouldn't have met you otherwise. I really don't think it's a big deal. I'm not lying about all sorts of weird things like pasta and music. Okay. I was planning on telling you, and then I just got caught up. That's all. Jeff, would you like to go on another date with Bree?

We'll pay for it. Give it a chance. You can grill her in person. Right. Give her a lie detector. Yeah, I would love to go on another date with Bree. And I would love to, you know, come clean about whatever we need to come clean about. Okay.

Well, Bree, congratulations. You got another date. Thank you. You're going to be questioned every move you make. But, hey, more power to you. Yeah. I will be asking you who Kaelan is. Right.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. You know what? Screw it. I believe you. Oh, she had that in her back pocket. On the latest episode of next question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Jasmine Crockett, Democratic representative of Texas.

She's holding out the fork for her party in one of the most conservative states in the union. I think that ultimately, who will become the Democratic nominee for President will be someone that has been out there and has shown that they won't allow themselves to be punched and just say thank you.
