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 date follow-up. Kate is on the phone because she's not getting a call back from a guy named Nick. And according to her email, they had a very hot, steamy first date. All right. Doing the normal hot, steamy thing. Hot, stingy. Stingy. Your version of hot could be different from mine.

The normal hot, steamy things, they took a test. A test? Yeah. Like a compatibility test? No. Oh. Like an IQ test. Oh. My mind went to disease test. Yeah, not that one either. Yeah, the whole point I was trying to make was it wasn't hot and steamy at all because when I read her email

it looked like they took an IQ test together. And you guys pointed out there are, any kind of test really is not a good date. So, Kate, how are you? I'm okay, thanks. How are you guys today? Not too bad. Yeah, we're good. I just want to get an explanation on your test thing in a second. First, tell us about the guy you want to call today. What's his name? Nick? Yeah. So I don't know how hot and steamy the date really was, but we did enjoy some nice hot coffee together. And we had been speaking to each other for weeks. So this one date, I had a lot of anticipation built up for it.

You know, we really developed, you know, I would say more than friendship, definitely flirting, lots of, you know. Where'd you guys meet? So we met just through, I mean, I know it sounds corny, but we met through playing Jackbox games. I don't know what that means though. What are Jackbox games? Oh, really? Okay. So Jackbox games are just games that you play online with your friends, but they're like, they're quick thinking, like Mad Lib type games. Yeah, but they're really fun and lighthearted. Lots of coworkers play them together and stuff for like team builders

and that's actually how we were introduced to it. Like a friend of mine played them with coworkers and like he was a friend of one of her friends. So we just were like in this Zoom together.

You said that that sounds corny. That's like the least corny way to meet. When you said corny, I thought you were going to be like, we met on Tinder. I know, yeah. That's an interesting way to meet somebody. No, I'm not really into to be like, we met on Tinder. I know, yeah. We met on Tinder. Yeah, that's an interesting way to meet somebody.

No, I'm not really into the whole, like, dating scene. So, I guess, like, anything seems corny to me. Like, I just, I don't know. I feel like I am in my 30s and I'm kind of just, like, in a different spot in life. You know, like, I'm looking for something more serious, like, long-term. I want to make sure there's, you know, compatibility and things like that. And I just feel like Tinder is really more of, like hookup culture breeding ground. So you didn't take an IQ test on your first date. Did you make him take an IQ test before you went out, which would probably

be a great idea. No, no, no, no. I just like, I suggested it because like I said, we met like playing Jackbox games. I thought he was really smart. He's kind of like, you know, he seemed like he was really sharp and witty and quick to the punch. And I just thought it would be fun and kind of funny and silly. And like I said, I'm looking for something that's a little more long term. And so I do think it's important to be intellectually on a similar wavelength and to have, you know, goals that aren't necessarily like in lockstep. It's a first date. But, you know, just at least a similar idea of where we want to be in life and what we'd like to, you know, like where we'd like to see ourselves in the future. And maybe I just came in a little bit hot, but I just I wasn't being like it wasn't like a know all be all end all IQ test.

I he didn't take it and I didn't like push the matter any further after that. It is genius, though, because to get the IQ test up front, it kind of lets you know like what your future kids are working with. You know what I mean? Yeah, because you don't want to have kids with someone with like a low IQ. Yeah, I don't want like a whole crew of mouth breathers. You know what I mean? Did you make this guy though

take the test right there on the date? No, I suggested it. And then like I like jokingly kind of pushed the issue, but I wasn't being like dead serious about it or anything. And he didn't take it. He just like declined. And it's not like I was like, I am out of here. Like I just was like, OK, well, that's fine.

Like whatever. It was kind of a buzzkill about it. I don't know. So he got a zero on his IQ test. Have you taken an IQ test or do you know what yours is? I do. Yeah, I do. What is it?

Oh, well, I mean, we're not on a date. If you want to take me out, we'll discuss it. But I don't know. It's either incredibly high or incredibly low. You don't want to tell us, but all right. We'll play a song, come back, and then we'll call Nick and see if we can figure out why he's not calling you back and if we can get you another date. Okay?

She's just joining us for today's first date follow-up. Kate is on the phone, and she's not getting a call back from a dude named Nick. They met playing trivia games online through a mutual friend and decided to go out for coffee. She said that things were great. They were really clicking. The only things that she can think of

that are the reasons he's not calling her back after their date is she asked him to take an IQ test, kind of joking around, and that seemed to really kind of annoy him for a second, but it sounds like he got over that, right? Kate, it sounded like he kind of got over that after you brought that up,

right? I mean, yeah, I didn't like super push the issue. So we didn't harp on it really. She also thinks that she didn't get all glammed up for the date. Maybe that's the reason. All right.

We're going to call him right now and see what the reason is that he's not calling you back. It's been two and a half weeks. So we'll get him on the phone and see if we can figure out why and see if he'll want another date with him. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Nick?

Yeah, this is Nick. Nick! This is The Jubal Show. My name's Jubal. Mine's Alex Fresh. My name's Evan. So you're on the phone with three people right now. Uh, okay.

Do you know what The Jubal Show is? What is this again? No, what is this? I'm sorry. The Jubal Show is a radio show, and we do a segment on our show called The First Date Follow-Up. It's where if you go out on a date with someone and don't call them back after, they can email us to get you on the phone and figure out what happened so we got an email about you from somebody you went on a date with

and now you're not calling them back okay do you know who we're talking about i'm not sure who you're talking about you really go to that many girls no i don't ghost that many. I mean, I've been out on a few dates in my life. So there's more than one potential. Did you go on a date with anybody named Kate? So we're talking about Kate, then, huh? You're so smart. You guessed it on the first try, dude. Congratulations.

Yeah, we're talking about Kate. You must have a high IQ. Yeah. She told me about the date. Yep. Might have mentioned it. Yeah, she told us about your date. She said that you guys met playing trivia games online through mutual friends and went out for coffee.

And we always ask people, you know, why do you think you're not getting a call back? Because she says that you haven't talked to her. You've ghosted her since you guys got coffee. And one of the reasons she could think of was she brought up taking an IQ test and she thought maybe that bothered you. Yeah. Well, wouldn't it bother you?

So you like took it as an insult? Not as an insult necessarily. I just, I felt like if somebody really cares about that, we'll probably just kind of have different priorities. Like we're on different wavelengths. You know what I mean? Like, it's just, it's not something I would ever consider doing. You know, I've never been asked what my IQ is before. And I just, I think taking an IQ test at this stage of our lives, like it's a lose, lose scenario. It's a lose, lose. How's that? Well, how's's a lose-lose scenario. It's a lose-lose.

How's that? Well, how's that a lose-lose scenario? First of all. It's all right. Unless first, I guess, unless I have the exact same IQ as her, it's a lose-lose scenario. Okay. That makes sense. Even if I do, because, all right, so let's say I have a really high IQ, then she's going

to expect me not to do anything dumb. Like I can't get away with doing dumb stuff anymore. Right. And, and I liked, I'm a guy, I like doing dumb stuff sometimes, but then, all right, so let's say I test low on the IQ test. Then I'm just, I'm just an idiot. Then I'm dumb for the rest of my life. So she, it's. Yeah, no, that totally makes sense. No one wants to date a dummy. Is that why you're not calling her back? Yeah. I mean, like I was like, what are you?

And she was pressing the issue a lot too. Like she was like really trying. She wanted me to take an IQ test right there on the spot during the date. Okay. Let me tell you though, cause I looked up, you know, what the IQ test scores are. Oh, you did? So you're near genius or a genius if you're above 140. 140.

Okay. So normal is between 90 and 110. We did talk to Kate about your date. She said she knows what hers is and we didn't find out what hers is. So we want to ask her what hers is. But it surprises me that that's really the only reason why. Maybe she was, you don't think, well, I'll just bring her on to talk to you because she's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you uh what yep

oh great hi Nick I was pushing it like I just that's just my personality like I was just I like to tease I like to be silly I like to not like it was make it or break it for me like I still obviously want to talk to you and I'd like to see you it was make it or break it for me. Like, I still obviously want to talk to you and I'd like to see you again. And, you know, and you didn't take the IQ test. So it's not like this is some kind of caveat that, you know, that the relationship or relationships are spicy word, but like, you know, the, the connection that we have isn't hinging on this IQ test. I was just razzing you. I mean, would I like to know? Sure. But like, do I have to know? No. Okay. I think it's, it's just to me, she's still pushing, by the way,

do you guys hear this? Like, she's like, I would like to know, like, I want to know what your IQ, like, it's weird, Kate, like that. I think any adult who, who even knows what their IQ is, is weird to me. Like, i feel like if you want to know if you need to know what your own i feel like you're just an insecure person in general and that's wow wait seriously like i just do it no see that's like i think that's super rude honestly because like i do it once every few years as just a what is What is it? What's your IQ? Tell us. Yeah, you said you know what it is.

What? Come on. Why wouldn't you tell what, okay, but you wanted to take an IQ test with Nick. Yeah, because we were on a date. I'm not just going to like throw it out there on the radio. It sounds braggy, honestly. I test it every couple of years. You wanted to know what his was. You said you know what yours is. Can you just tell us what yours is? I mean, like, of years. You wanted to know what his was. You said you know what yours is. Can you just tell us what yours is?

I mean, like, I just don't want to tell you guys that. I don't know. I don't want to say it. You see, like, she won't even tell you what hers is. And then she wants to know what mine is. Like, she's being a hypocrite. And the idea of, like, taking one every two years. Like, so basically, if I got married to this girl, I'd have to take an IQ test every couple of years just to make sure that I

hadn't gotten dumber. No, you know, this is ridiculous. I never said you have to take one every two years. I also am not discussing it on the radio because I'm not on a date. Like we were just vibing and we were talking and we were having a good time and we were laughing. And it's just something that I said and did. Like, I'm sorry. I thought the rest of the date was good. We talked for weeks leading up to it. time, and we were laughing. And it's just something that I said and did. Like, I'm sorry. I thought the rest of the date was good.

We talked for weeks leading up to it. Like, I don't know. I just feel like you're being really sensitive and kind of petty. I mean, you guys hear what she's talking about. She's talking in circles. Like, I feel like I can just see the future with Kate. Like, it would be an absolute nightmare. You know what?

You want to really see the future? Oh! How about this? How about you go on another date with Kate? We will pay for it. For real. We'll send you on another date with Kate. It would be an absolute nightmare. You know what? You want to really see the future? Oh, how about this? How about you go on another date with Kate? We will pay for it. For real. We'll send you on another date with Kate.

I don't think so, guys. I think I'm all set with it. She'll probably have another set of tests ready to take on that date. So, no, I'm going to pass on a second date. I mean, there's no reason to test anything. We're clearly not a good match. Like, I wouldn't even go on a second date with him. Clearly, her IQ is so much higher than yours, Nick. Clearly.

Don't do that. Oh, my God. Stop it. Does it hold off on any of the tests going forward on dates, you know, STD or compatibility? Okay, fine. No more tests. I mean, the STD one kind of sounded like a good idea,

but other than that, I will back off. Yeah, I mean, the STD one is important, just not on the first date. Well, it depends what you want to do on a first date. Yes. Okay, okay. That's true. Situationally, the STD one is important. Jubal's first date follow up.
