Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. The Indicator is a podcast where daily economic news is about what matters to you. And we're guessing most days, that's money.

Listen to The Indicator from NPR on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get podcasts. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric. Well, the election is in the homestretch, right in time for a new season of my podcast, Next Question. I'm bringing in some FOKs, friends of Katie's, to help me out, like Ezra Klein, Jen Psaki, Astead Herndon. But we're also going to have some fun, thanks to some of my friends like Samantha Bee and Charlemagne the God. We're going to take some viewer questions as well.

I mean, isn't that what democracy is all about? Check out our new season of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. First day follow-up. I am so glad that I wore my knee pads and my elbow pads today. And also, underneath these jeans, short spandex shorts. Wow. That's right.

Packing some heat. It's appropriate because on the phone is another fellow rollerblader. We always have to wear our gear underneath our regular clothes. Isn't that right, Reed? Yeah, you never know when you're going to just get the urge to take off. That's right, man. Life is tough being a big rollerblader, isn't it? It really is.

I don't think people that don't do it, they don't understand. Yeah. It's a whole thing. It's a whole mentality. Yeah, I've actually never rollerbladed. I hate it. Oh, come on. I can't do any kind of skating.

I fall down. I fall down. I fall down. Whatever kind of rollerblading, roller skating, ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, anything that involves balance in that way, I cannot do it. So you're a better man than I am, Reed. But it's not about me and my old traumatic memories right now. It's about you and your current traumatic memories.

I'm not getting a call back from a date that you went on. So you went rollerblading. Yeah, seriously. First. I need some help. What's the girl's name that you want to call? Lexi is her name. Lexi, okay.

And how did you meet her? We met on Tinder. And so I thought, I don't know, maybe I have her thinking this, but you know, things seem easier on Tinder sometimes. What do you mean easier? Pretty easy. You're saying the girls seem easier? Yeah.

It's just, yeah, and easier. You know, you just swipe. That's so easy. That's what I mean. Okay. So you don't have to go talk to them in person first. So you met her on Tinder and you guys, your email said that you guys went rollerblading. Yes. Rollerblading is a big part of my life. I have not had embarrassing moments like,

well, at least not in, I don't know, maybe 20 years. I'm pretty good. Okay. If I do say so myself. So i thought it would be something sweet and uh after talking for about a week i i got the courage enough to tell her hey did you want to come do this i thought maybe i could impress her but also be kind of romantic like helping her along because she did have some apprehension she was you know i'm not the best rollerblader it's been a long time since i've done you know since i was a kid best rollerblader. It's been a long time since I've done, you know, since I was a kid. And I don't know if she had a falling down story, but I told

her, you know, it'd be great. I'll help you along. Don't worry. You know, I figured in my head we'd be holding hands and just go rollerblading movie scene in your head, like a romantic comedy based around rollerblading in your head when you asked her out. Yeah, hopefully with only the cute parts. Yeah, rollerblading off into the sunset, but sounds like that didn't happen because she's not calling you back now. The only thing I can think of as to why she's not

calling me back is, like, I own my own pair of rollerblades, so I had that stuff, and I had my compression suit going, and I don't know if she thought that that was weird or maybe I looked funny. I really don't know. But that's the only thing I could think of because she didn't fall or anything else. Okay.

So and I didn't I don't know. So that's why I need I need your guys' help to figure this out. Maybe she just really wasn't impressed by your compression shorts, if you know what I mean. No, it was a warm day. It was good. Oh. Okay. All right.

So it wasn't that she looked at that and was like, oh, boy, I can see everything and I'm not impressed? You don't think it was that? I mean, would you wear a compression bodysuit if you were not looking good in it? I would never wear it in the first place. At all. But you did. And that's the only reason you can think of why she might not be calling you. I really can't think of anything else.

Maybe she thought it was weird. All right. And how did you end things? I gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked her back to her car. And I thought I would try to reach out in a few days and set something else up. I didn't want to do anything there in the moment. And yeah, since I've reached out, I haven't heard back. So were you getting the vibe that she liked you during the date?

Like, was she having a good time? Yeah, I think so. I mean, she looked like she was having fun. She was laughing, had a smile on her face, looked like she was having a good time. Okay. All right. Okay. Well, we'll see what went wrong.

Then we'll play a song, come back, and then we'll get our rollerblades on and find out why she's not calling you back, alright? Perfect. Okay, we'll do it next. It's a jewel show. I don't know why, but right now I just have the urge to wear some tight neon pink spandex. Really? Yeah. And get like an old walkman out.

The kind that takes tapes. If you don't know what tapes are, hi, you're not in your 40s. Anyway, I say that because Reid is on the phone and Reid isn't getting a call back from a girl he went out with named Lexi and they went rollerblading together

and he can't figure out why. He said they had a great time. They bonded and at the end of the date, he even kissed her on the cheek and they made plans to go out again, but she stopped responding to him and he thinks the only thing

that could have gone wrong is the fact that he has all sorts of rollerblading gear. And he decided to wear his compression clothing. And he thought maybe that weirded her out. Because I'm guessing, Reed, she wasn't wearing, like, hardcore rollerblading gear like you were? No, I don't think she has any of that stuff. But I just want to let you know, mine's not pink. It's like a cool blue. All right.

Well, real men wear pink. And I'm questioning if you're a real true rollerblader or not because i feel i thought in my mind rollerbladers only wear pink and like purple sometimes no we wear all colors yeah right okay maybe that's why she's not calling you back you were faking being a hardcore rollerblader we're on to you but that's the only thing that you can think of how the clothing yeah because like i said before she looked like she was having a good time. You can't think of anything else? Like what about the end of the date? You said you gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Like, I mean, it's COVID right now. I didn't feel her like pull away. Did you go for the lips and then she offered the cheek? Yeah. No, no, no. I went straight for the cheek. And she gave me a hug when we first showed up. Alright, cool. Yeah, she was willing to meet up with a dude

who's into rollerblading, which means she must have liked something about you. Alright, well, I'm going to dial her phone number right now and see if we can figure out why she's not getting back to you, okay? Yep. Alright, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Lexi, please? Yeah, this is Lexi.

Lexi, how are you? This is Jubal from The Jubal Show. Wait, the radio guy? Yes. The same. That is the only thing I have ever done in my life that I would like to be known for is the radio guy. But yes, you got it right. Oh, well, hi.

How's it going? It's going well. How it going now i guess um have you listened to the show do you know the show or you just heard the name before no i mean i've listened a little bit less than normal because i don't like drive to work as much but yeah i listen okay, everybody's here. Me, Hannah's wife, Alex Freyash. Good morning. And English Evan. Good morning. And do you have any idea why we might be calling you? Not really.

Would you like us to give you an idea of why we might be calling you? Yeah, that would be nice. Okay. Well, you know, we do a segment on the show where if you go out on a date with someone and don't call them back, they can email us to get you on the phone and find out what happened. You know that? I do know that. Okay. People that, yeah.

So we got an email about you from a guy named Reed. Yeah, I remember Reed. Okay. That was an interesting date. Okay, can you tell us why it was an interesting date? I don't know if you've talked to him yet, but it was just like super intense for a date. What do you mean by that? We went rollerblading.

And I don't think I've gone rollerblading since I was like nine or ten. Like I would never get it even when I was a kid but it's still like a fun like date idea you know right now like during the times you can't really do a ton of stuff so it's just kind of like a different idea and if he likes it it's nice to be outside and everything I mean I I do do outdoor activities and stuff but I had told him like leading up to it that I wasn't really good I wasn't really sure. I wasn't really sure. Like I didn't own blades, stuff like that to try to kind of leave the hit without trying to be a, wait, so you, so you didn't want to go rollerblading, but you still did it. Yeah. I

thought maybe it's not as bad. I didn't remember it so much. And I thought it was like, you know, maybe it's just like riding a bike. You kind of don't forget how to do it. So we went, but it was just super intense. He was like all in his compression, everything, and his blades like with lightnings on them. Lightning? Okay, hold up. So he told us a little bit about your date. And he said that he thinks the reason you're not calling him back has to do with his outfit you know he said that um he's he's big into rollerblading which i don't

know a lot of people that are big into rollerblading anymore but hey do you and he also has the clothes that go along with it so he thought maybe his compression gear and his spandex and i didn't know he had lightning on his rollerblades, but it sounds appropriate. Just step. Yeah. He said that he thought the clothes might have turned you off and that's why you're not calling him back. Well, I mean, that's the least of it. That's just the cherry on top. But like, it's the whole, I didn't know it was like this rollerblading culture kind of a thing. And he, you would think

you're going on a date, a first date with somebody somebody and so you kind of want to be with them and help them and stuff like that but he was like hardcore like at it rollerblading it was a full workout and i could barely even saw him he was like blading up a storm like wow ahead of me while i was still trying to like balance oh Oh my God. So he didn't help you at all? Like learn how to rollerblade? No. Like before I could even lace up, which I didn't even know how to do that. He was like out there doing spins and just gone. Wow.

Doing spins? You can spin? Yeah. There's a lot of tricks that you can do on rollerblading. And he was like all about that. He was just trying to show off maybe or impress me, but it was too much. Yeah, sounds it.

It was like going out with an eight-year-old. It was like, look what I can do, look what I can do. And it's like so much energy for me. Really? So someone that can really work the blades doesn't get you going, huh? Turns out it does not. At least you gave it a shot. I did not know that before, but it is confirmed. Yeah, at least you gave it a shot But it is confirmed

Yeah at least you gave it a shot though And also I should let you know one thing Reed is actually on the phone listening And wants to talk to you Oh my gosh I forgot you guys have Them on the other line I got so into it Hi Lexi

Hi Reed Sorry I really had no idea that it was that bad. Yeah, well, the next time you want to go on another date with somebody and you want to take them rollerblading, like, maybe try not to show off so much. It's just not hot. It says a lot more about your personality when you're all about you. You know what, Lexi?

I've taken a lot of girls out rollerblading, and they've all been impressed with my moves. All of them, huh? Yeah. Well, you're still single, so. More impressed than her, apparently. Yeah. I think I might know the answer, but Lexi, would you like to go out with Reed again on another date?

We'll pay for it. No, I'm good. Thanks. You know what, Lexi? That's fine. I'll find another girl that can appreciate these for it. No, I'm good. Thanks. You know what, Lexi? That's fine. I'll find another girl that can appreciate these blade skills.

Oh, wow. Blade skills? Damn. I didn't expect this to get so heavy. What are blade skills? You probably should find someone who appreciates

your skill of ruler bleeding. Yeah, I will. Okay, you do that then. We're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want.

And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. The Indicator is a podcast where daily economic news is about what matters to you.
