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. Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

So in a few minutes, we'll call him and see if his health's why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date. But first, Nikki, how long has it been since you heard from Josh? It's been a few days now.

Okay. Is that really ghosting? Is that unusual? Well, I think so because he acted like he wanted to see me again. So I texted him and it's been, I don't know, maybe like four or five days without any response. Okay. All right, Nikki. Why don't you tell us about how you met Josh and how the date went?

Yeah. We met at this really cool cafe with like old books and candles. And it was a really cool vibe. Like he seems to know a lot about places. like that and it was a cool idea and behind the bookshelves there was a speak easy oh cute oh that's cool yeah so when i got there he he showed me that and so we went in there and it was kind of like a dark room kind of romantic and like sort of eerie but in a sexy kind of way yeah it was fun it's like i'd never been to a place quite like that and at one point the

life kind of flickered and and Josh kind of leaned in and said asked if I felt the energy shift. Okay, okay. Energy shift. Okay, was that like code for, you know? Well, he wanted to tell me this story about a ghost that apparently has been haunting that building

since Prohibition Times and only reveals itself to people who believe. That's kind of cool. A ghost? Yeah, it was a ghost. So he, like, it could have been creepy, but it felt kind of exciting like he was making an effort

and like putting on a show for me and I kind of laughed and played along and he had espresso martini's that were really good and after the date he walked me to an Uber and we were hugging and kissing like no tongue but like still a passionate kiss

and kind of like you know touching each other that's hot yeah so I think he's exciting and interesting and he's so cute and just like he's different from anyone I've ever met and I felt a really strong chemistry and I just want

more. So why do you think he's ghosting then if it sounds like you want to pray well? Well, I think that he might be ghosting me because I don't believe in ghosts. Okay. So is that real to him? Well, yeah.

And like sometimes guys get insulted I guess if he felt like I was laughing. But I told him after we kissed that, you know, like, that I didn't really believe in ghosts, but that I had had a really fun time. And I told him that he was a great storyteller. And then he asked if I believed in ghost. And I said no. And then his tone sort of changed, but I didn't really think anything of it. I don't know why that would be worth ghosting somebody over, because the date sounded like it went really well. So I don't know. That feels, that feels weird. Yeah. I guess, I guess it's

been more like, I don't know, time goes by so fast. I guess it's been more like six or seven days, you know, but he told me to text him when I got home, which was really sweet. And I did, but there was no response. And then he hasn't reached out since then. What game is this guy playing? Doesn't it kind of feel like there's something weird going on there? I don't know.

Could he just like be busy? That doesn't feel right either. What do you think, Nikki? Is there any other things going through your head on why it could be that he's ghosting you? No, I really can't think of anything. I mean, I thought that, you know, I just thought that we had a really good time. And so, you know, that's the only thing I can think of.

I mean, the laughing at him might be an issue. Yeah, maybe. I wasn't really laughing at him. I was, like, laughing at the idea because, like, ghosts. But, I mean, it's kind of like a kid thing, you know, just being honest. Like, I don't feel like I'm being haunted, you know. Okay. 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 I'll tell us why is he going to sing you, maybe get you another date, okay? Okay, thank you. Okay, we'll play a song, come back, and get your first day follow-up next. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, 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.

I get your point, Bernie. We talk about the billionaire class, the cost of living, and of course the government shut down, 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 religiousism. Open your free IHeartRadio app. Search next question with Katie Couric and listen now. The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday.

A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor. market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill.

In the middle of today's first aid follow-up, if you're just joining us, Nikki is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Josh, and we're about. to call him and see if they'll tell us why he's ghosting a row first nicky why don't you catch us up on your situation okay well i went out on the state with this guy josh like about a week ago and we had a great time we had drinks and we went to this kind of speak easy place and he told me that you know that it's sort of haunted like by ghosts from the prohibition era and i said we had a great time but i did reveal later that i don't really believe it goes and i think that's maybe why he's not reaching out. I don't know.

Because you kissed and then you said that and then he ghosted. You do believe in ghosting though. Yeah. All right. Are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. Um, yes. Thank you. Yep. All right. Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Josh, please? This is he.

Hey, Josh, how are you? My name is Jubal. I'm calling from a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Josh. I'm Nina also on the show. Hi, and I'm Victoria. Hello.

How's it going? It's going great. Do you listen to the show ever, Josh? We don't. Okay. That's okay. That's fine. Well, Josh, we do a segment on our show.

It's called the first date follow-up. What that is is if you go out on a date with somebody and end up ghosting them, they can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting. So we got an email about you from somebody that you went out with. Yes. Okay. Any idea who it would be? Hmm.

Maybe a Nikki. It is a Nikki. Nikki emailed us and told us she had a really good time with you, but she's confused and says you've been ghosting her for about a week now. Yes, I have. Okay. Do you mind telling us why? Well, honestly, she doesn't, she doesn't believe.

Believe in? She doesn't believe in ghosts. Okay. She doesn't believe in ghosts. She doesn't believe in the spiritual world. She's not open. I've been able to speak to ghosts, hear them, speak to them since I was a child. Honestly, she just doesn't believe.

She doesn't think it's real. So, well, why is that a problem for you? because anyone and everyone can speak and hear ghosts as long as you open yourself you can what does that have to do with dating her because if how am i supposed to open my soul my spirit myself to someone who doesn't believe okay so it's well that makes because it's about your means more more well it's about well you it's honestly

honestly it's about I never meant wait Nikki Josh hi yes Josh Nicky is on the phone listening and wants to talk to you like maybe I wouldn't have laughed about it if you explained it like that I didn't know

that it was like more serious for you how could you not tell it was serious I've been speaking to ghosts all evening you didn't think that was real I didn't really know that i i mean you know i'm open-minded it's just i i i didn't know that you

saw it like this or that you have always been turning into ghosts this is what i am this is who i am does that feel kind of rude like talking on the phone while you're on a day i'm just speaking to a ghost is not speaking on the phone to someone else okay okay you're relaying what they're saying to the other person who doesn't have the spiritual ability she thought it was exciting honestly I've taken so much time training women to interact with ghosts. Really? Really? Yes.

And honestly, I feel like they just, they do it and they do it and they try and they never really actually speak to them. Well, I want to try that. I think that sounds exciting. I want to go back to the speak easy and I want you to teach me about this. Fascinating. fascinating well that's a good thing I'm open

I'd like to try are you willing to open yourself truly fully to the beyond I'll ask Josh would you like to go on another date with Nikki we'll pay for it well

I think we can as long As you understand, I will guide you, only as far, you do understand that this is, this is a journey with us. I do. I understand. This is a journey. Not necessarily, I mean, it is a date, but it's a journey. So I think that was a yes.
