[Burt]

Today the Birch Show.

[Jen]

I just got a jury summons and this is the second form in a week that I've had to fill out that has something that's like troubling for me. Right. When you go through it and you're like, you know, Are you a U.S. citizen? Yes. Are you female? Male. You know, I've never been summoned for the jury. That's weird. Cuz you're a voter.

[Stacy]

Yeah, I've never. Never once.

[Bert]

Cuz you're gay.

[Jen]

They know it.

[Stacy]

They're like, oh, she's a little lavender and pink. I'm sorry.

[Jen]

So I've actually been summoned a lot, but never had to actually go through with a trial or anything. But yeah, so I got a jury summons to go on my birthday, which I was actually able to get out of because we had Burt's big adventure and I was out of town for work, so I called them and said so. And so they sent a new one. Anyway, the point is, is that when filling out this form and then also some medical forms recently under marital status, they have listed single, married, partner, divorced or widowed. And I just wonder why you have to circle divorced. Why can't you just circle single?

[Stacy]

Right. That is a good point.

[Jen]

Why do they have that listed, like even on medical forms?

[Bert]

Do you think it has something to do with the selection process? Like somehow that would put you in a category that the lawyers would know if they want you in this jury or not.

[Burt]

Oh yeah, it makes perfect sense.

[Jen]

Makes more sense with the jury than it would with medical records though. But it's on just about everything.

[Bert]

So like it would immediately do the

[Jen]

doctor's office at the dentist's office at the. I mean, any sort of like form you've got to fill out with your name and age and blah, blah, blah. Is it. Has it listed?

[Stacy]

Is there an assumption, maybe an alert to them that there may be some couples that may still be tied financially or medically or that. Or have children, you know, that they may have to. I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to think of why I

[Jen]

find it offensive and so I rebel in circle single.

[Burt]

Why does it offend you?

[Jen]

I don't know. It's just offensive. Like why. What's under your business?

[Bert]

I just think it's part of the sorting out process in the jury selection more than anything else. Like it would dictate to them on. But it's also lawyers on both. On both sides if they want you part of the jury or not.

[Stacy]

I get that. I say we should the jury because like, like you said, it may have something to do with the case and they need to have a diverse group from background. But on most records, I think or most anything I filled out there is usually the single, married, divorced.

[Bert]

I've never seen divorced before.

[Jen]

I got to tell you, it's on everything.

[Burt]

You're right. Why Just haven't paid attention to it.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

Why do you have to always tell everybody I've been married and that's been my past and why do you have to. Yeah.

[Jen]

Like it irks me. Did you check?

[Bert]

None of your damn business.

[Stacy]

It's like your scarlet letter.

[Burt]

My O, B.

[Bert]

Mind your own business.

[Stacy]

Yeah.

[Jen]

No, good for you.

[Stacy]

You are Y.

[Jen]

D A is what I should say.

[Burt]

Or DB Now I have a question about the jury form.

[Jen]

Okay.

[Burt]

Like technically, could that be perjury because they did give you divorced as an option. You are divorced. And if Bert's accurate that it does have something to do with the vetting out of.

[Jen]

But I'm not lying. My marital status is single.

[Burt]

Well, you're divorced. Like there is a more appropriate. You are single.

[Stacy]

But you should still be assuming I

[Jen]

don't go to jail for this.

[Stacy]

But we're assuming that's the reason why they have it on the form. I mean that's just. I don't know if that's the actual reason.

[Frankie]

Right.

[Joanna]

I'm not.

[Stacy]

Because lawyers will ask directly the questions in a jury pool that they want. You know, they don't. I mean I don't even think the

[Jen]

lawyers would see that because this is for a trial.

[Stacy]

You wouldn't see that form.

[Bert]

I don't think we're going to end up on the jury that's trying to indict you for lying on your jury.

[Jen]

I'm not lying. I am single. It just irks me. Maybe we have somebody who's like that option. I don't know.

[Stacy]

Maybe somebody with legitimate background can tell us why.

[Burt]

Hey, and until then, we'll just take calls from people doing the same thing we are, like Randy. Hey, Randy. Welcome to the show.

[Jen]

Speculating.

[Alison]

Thanks.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Alison]

Good morning, everybody.

[Stacy]

Good morning.

[Alison]

What I wanted to comment on was doctors like to know if you're divorced, because a lot of times it can have to do with depression or it can have to do with anger, both of which can affect you physically as well as mentally.

[Jen]

That would be more with the married people than the divorced people. Are you depressed, angry, sexually frustrated and married? Come on.

[Burt]

All right, here we go. Here's some somebody qualified. Hello, Alison. Welcome to the show.

[Alison]

Hey, How y' all doing?

[Joanna]

Good.

[Burt]

Tell us what, what qualifies you to answer this question?

[Alison]

Well, I'm a court reporter in Cobb County.

[Jen]

Okay.

[Alison]

And I can tell you the answer as to why they ask if you are divorced specifically.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Alison]

If it's a trial. Let's say it's a trial, a divorce case. Basically, they want to know if you've been through an ugly divorce, if you're swayed one side or the other, if you've had issues, and why you might lean towards one party or the other.

[Stacy]

That makes now as a court, do the lawyers in the case get to see these forms that Jen's filling out?

[Alison]

Absolutely. When you fill out the forms, they look at all the forms, and then when they go through the voir dire, which is the selection, they can, after all the general questions, they can ask you specific questions and ask you detailed information about if you were, if you went through that type of situation, if you went to a trial, if you had a hearing, what was the outcome? Do you think you were treated fairly or not, et cetera.

[Stacy]

Makes total sense. Now, if somebody in a doctor's office could explain why your divorce status is important for medical records, too, you know,

[Burt]

we already got it because you're angry and depressed.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Burt]

You're single, you're miserable.

[Alison]

Just like they could ask if you've had counseling for, you know, in a situation like that as well, Right?

[Jen]

Yeah. It definitely makes more sense.

[Stacy]

Okay.

[Jen]

So now I have both circled on my juror form because I don't want to go to jail.

[Bert]

Years ago for perjury or whatever. When I lived in San Diego years ago, I got on a jury and I had in my mind that it was going to be like it would be on tv, you know, like, it'd be fascinating case where the defendant would confess at the very last second of this mass murder or something like that.

[Stacy]

Snooze fest.

[Bert]

It was a total snooze fest, man. Most of the lawyers don't know. They're not nearly as smooth as TV lawyers are. And the case was like. It was over like a $35 shoplifting item at the campus bookstore. It's totally boring, man.

[Jen]

I do have a good friend who was on a murder trial as a juror, though.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Really?

[Jen]

And he said that it was. It definitely intense and pretty fascinating.

[Alison]

Yeah.

[Bert]

You will be disappointed by the lawyers, man, because they're so polished and so good on television.

[Jen]

Well, they're actors, but they're actors, and it's dramatic.

[Stacy]

My fear is to be, you know, that I have to stay and I'd have to stay with the juror, you know, like, it'd be a big trial where I'm sequestered and I have to sit with those 11 people for, like, weeks in a hotel.

[Jen]

God, as soon as they.

[Bert]

You've basically done that for nine years and no.

[Stacy]

But no TV and no phone and nothing.

[Burt]

Maybe that's why they want to know, because if you're divorced, then you're desperate to meet other people, so they'll put you all in one big sequestered room. The Birch Show. Hey, Frankie.

[Frankie]

Yo. Hey.

[Burt]

In four years from now, you're still going to be on with us, updating us on what's going on with this same damn dude.

[Frankie]

Really? Yeah, I'm playing it out. Sorry, guys.

[Burt]

When. When Frankie was on with us last week, he gave us the update that the owner of the home, who he's been in contact with, thought that the guy coming to visit may have been feeding some stray cats around. But we all discounted that because if you put a bowl of food out for one cat, 14 days later, you got 65 cats. And they. Every time a car runs down. Comes down the road, they all run out looking for their food.

[Bert]

And this is all based on the story that we took weeks ago from a Birch show listener that has seen the same guy pull up to their townhouse community every single day, park in the same spot, and then walks behind the townhouse community, and then goes into one house for five minutes and then splits. And he does this like clockwork for months, right? So our listener wanted to know who this dude was. So for weeks now, we've tried to piecemeal a story together with some facts, but haven't gotten Anything concrete.

[Stacy]

And then we included Frankie, who works in our promotions department to come in. And he's almost become kind of like a bounty hunter. He's done a stakeout.

[Burt]

He's embraced it.

[Stacy]

Yeah, he's totally embraced it. So he's the one giving us the updates, but he's. He's actually talked to the guy and. And like Jeff said, you know, the latest was that the real you. You contacted the real estate agent who owned that home.

[Frankie]

Yes.

[Burt]

And the last thing that we said to you is Bert put you in touch with. Is it Big Daddy Spy?

[Bert]

Yes.

[Burt]

Calm.

[Frankie]

Yeah. Bigdaddyspy.com and I got a infrared, heat sensitive and motion sensitive birdhouse.

[Joanna]

That's funny.

[Bert]

Did you install the birdhouse over the weekend?

[Frankie]

Yeah, I think it'll go well with my cat uniform.

[Burt]

When does the birdhouse go in?

[Frankie]

I'll put it up. Probably sometime today.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Frankie]

If not, after I get off work.

[Bert]

So is it motion censored also so you don't have to watch 24 Hours of Nothingness?

[Frankie]

Yep, it's motion and heat sensitive.

[Bert]

Great. Okay.

[Jen]

That's fantastic.

[Bert]

I mean, it really only needs to be set for half an hour because he only stops by at what, 9:40 every single morning. So it only needs to be set between 9:30 and 9:45.

[Burt]

Well, we could leave it on to see if any of those thousands of cats who live there set it off.

[Jen]

I really hope this story turns out to be something because if it is basic, like he's an exterminator or something, like so simple, we're gonna be so disappointed.

[Bert]

Exterminators can come every single day though.

[Jen]

And a very overzealous exterminator, the real

[Bert]

estate agent could have put us closer to an end of this. The real estate agent, I feel, knows who this guy is. And there's some kind of COVID up going on.

[Jen]

They're growing weed in there, dude.

[Alison]

I wanna know.

[Stacy]

That's what a lot of listeners think.

[Jen]

I think they are.

[Stacy]

There's black spray paint on the windows in the basement.

[Joanna]

Do you have to water those plants every day?

[Jen]

He's checking on his stony plants.

[Bert]

It's fluorescent. I'll turn on those fluorescent lights every single day.

[Burt]

He's just.

[Stacy]

Not that we know what we're talking

[Jen]

about, but he's just need to send Frankie with a drug dog.

[Burt]

He's making sure none of the stray cats tore the aluminum foil that cover the windows. That's what he's doing. So, Frank, you're gonna put that in today?

[Frankie]

Yeah. Yeah. You guys Sound like you know a lot about growing.

[Stacy]

Oh, no. You know, I picked up a copy of High Times in a doctor's office

[Jen]

one time at the doctor's office.

[Commercial Announcer]

Really?

[Stacy]

It was a really good doctor.

[Bert]

Interviewed in that. In that magazine a couple times, Melissa.

[Jen]

The kind of doctor's office where they make you call them pipes or glass.

[Stacy]

It's illegal, people.

[Jen]

Glass.

[Stacy]

And it's a water. It's a water pipe.

[Jen]

A water pipe, not a bong.

[Burt]

And you know what? She's just trying to help her glaucoma.

[Stacy]

Exactly.

[Bert]

Prescribed at very best. We'll have an update on Wednesday if you set it up.

[Burt]

If he sets it up today, we'll be able to see some video in a day or two, right? From our infrared heat sensitive birdhouse camera.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Stacy]

Oh, my God.

[Bert]

We have committed. We have committed to this segment.

[Burt]

Hey, Sue. Welcome to the Birch show.

[Alison]

Hey, what's going on? I have a theory of it being. I can't answer the jacket thing quite yet, but I think it's a man going in to get drugs every morning before he goes to work. I've known people that do that, and they'll go to their dealer's house every morning and then they'll, you know, use their drugs there and then leave.

[Jen]

But it's an empty house and it's

[Joanna]

not on the weekends. He goes there only Monday through Fridays.

[Burt]

Well, maybe he's got a job that requires drugs before he goes to it. We can all understand that. Hey, Renee, welcome to the show. Welcome to the show, Renee.

[Alison]

Hey, guys, love the show. I was just telling Carl, though, I called him last week, number one, you know, the real estate agent is in on this because when he. When he first called up and said, hey, someone's watching, and blah, blah, blah, they're seeing this and that, the lady wouldn't have said, oh, let me find out for you and I'll call you back. She doesn't get the hell away from my townhouse. And, you know, I mean, there's just too much funny stuff going on. It's just weird.

[Bert]

I mean, well, if you real estate

[Alison]

agent hours that he was feeding cats and we can't even figure out who the guy is.

[Bert]

If you're a real estate agent and you're told somebody is hanging out at a house that you're trying to sell, then you're gonna be invested in finding out who that person is.

[Alison]

But you're not gonna be, you know, let me call you back, Frankie. I'll. She'll say, you get away from it. And I'll find out who this guy is or I'll call the cops or whatever.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Alison]

She definitely knows who this is.

[Stacy]

She would have got a further description from Frankie.

[Burt]

Like, you know, I almost don't want it to end because the theories are more fun than what's really happening.

[Stacy]

Sure.

[Bert]

I don't know in this case.

[Burt]

Isaiah, what's your thought?

[Alison]

Hey, what's going on, guys?

[Jen]

Hey.

[Burt]

What's up?

[Frankie]

Nothing.

[Burt]

I think that the real estate lady

[Frankie]

and that guy are having an affair.

[Burt]

I think that's the story we go with, even if it is stray cats.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Bert]

I mean, how?

[Joanna]

It's quick.

[Bert]

That's not fun for the real estate agent for five minutes.

[Stacy]

Yeah, you can find somebody else. I mean, serious.

[Burt]

[Jeff]

Can you make sure that she's laying down? Okay. Okay. They said to make sure you're laying down. And tell her to be careful not to pull too tight on the cord. She said that she's bleeding everywhere. Okay. Okay, that's. That's why we need her to lay down. Okay. Okay. They said that's why they need you to lay down.

[Burt]

Now the.

[Jen]

Wow, fascinating.

[Burt]

That was the easy part.

[Jen]

Oh, really?

[Burt]

Because remember how she said don't pull too hard on the cord?

[Jen]

Oh, no.

[Burt]

Apparently it's a big deal if the cord separates without like a medical professional there because then somebody needs to tie it. Oh, and if you only got a 9 year old and 11 year old,

[Jen]

the 11 year old has to tie it. Oh, no.

[Jeff]

Okay. And when your mom is laying down, still make sure. That you don't pull on the cord too tight. Okay. Okay. Just lay the baby in the mother's arms on her belly. Okay. She said don't pull the cord too tight. The cord's not hugged. The cord is dangling from her. From the baby? Yeah. Okay.

[Jen]

Whoa.

[Jeff]

Okay. Make sure that you keep the baby and the mother warm. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now listen carefully and I'll tell you exactly what to do next. Okay. Okay. Without pulling on the cord, tie a string or shoelace tightly around the umbilical cord about 6 inches from the baby. Okay. Do not cut it. Okay. So go get a string or a shoelace and tell me when you have that done. Okay? Okay. Okay. You have a string now? Yeah, I have a string. Okay, so you're gonna tie. What do I do? Okay, you're gonna tie it tightly around the umbilical cord about 6 inches from the baby, but do not cut it. I have to cut it around the. Do it now and tell me when it's done. Okay. Okay. Is the door unlocked? The front door. If you can send your little sister to go unlock the door. Okay. Okay, it's unlocked. I'm getting the scissors. Okay. Okay. What are you gonna use the scissors for? Okay, just make sure you don't cut the umbilical cord at all.

[Alison]

Okay.

[Jeff]

She said don't cut the umbilical cord off. And let me know when you have the string tighter on the umbilical cord. Okay. Are you still there? Yes, she's still here. Okay. She's doing a really great job. How are you doing? Okay. Are you. Are you sitting down or laying down? Okay. It looks like they're parking out front right now. Okay. But stay on the line with me until they're there. With you. Oh.

[Stacy]

Guess they told her. I was like,

[Jeff]

it looks like the fire department's parking outside right now. Okay. Okay. Okay. Did you get the string tied around the cord? Yeah. Okay.

[Burt]

Parallel parking. It takes a minute.

[Jeff]

Is that the fire department? Yeah. Okay, I'll go ahead and let you go. Okay. You did a great job. Thank you. Okay. Bye. Bye. Bye.

[Stacy]

I mean, those are parts that you don't Normally see at 11 and have to touch and deal with.

[Jen]

She was so calm, too.

[Burt]

And how about mom? Yeah, she's standing over there.

[Stacy]

Standing down. Good Lord, honey.

[Burt]

Hey, Tasha. Welcome to the bird show.

[Alison]

Hey. I was just gonna say that that poor 11 year old was like. She was very calm, but I think she was in shock, you know, because she couldn't. She couldn't do anything without being prompted. But I Just want to say mom, you know, I'm glad they're okay, but mom should have been more responsible. I was a labor and delivery nurse for a long time. Your. Your labors are about halfway. They were with your first child. Each child you have, you can pretty much bet you could go to Vegas and bet your labor would be about half of what it was with the previous child. And living in Atlanta, I told all my friends, I'm like, if you gotta get on 400 and you start hurting at 1 o', clock, go. Don't wait till 4 o', clock, go to the hospital. You know, I mean, just be responsible. So I'm glad it turned out okay. But yeah, there's some predictability to it.

[Stacy]

So I think the 11 year old was probably calm in shock, but also calm because she had a little sister that she was probably trying to be strong for too.

[Burt]

Later in the news report, both kids thought it was really cool that the brother was born in the bathroom. That was what they thought. That's what they thought was neat about it. Yeah, I thought it was cool that he was born at home. That's kind of neat.

[Jen]

Wow.

[Stacy]

I just never want to hear my mom have to make those noises, you know?

[Burt]

Hey, the bird show.

[Commercial Announcer]

All new drinks are now at McDonald's with refreshers like the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Mango Pineapple Refresher with popping boba. To crafted sodas like the Sprite Berry Blast with berry flavors and cold foam. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire six? All new drinks are here now at McDonald's.

[Burt]

Refreshers contain caffeine. The first show. Hey, Jen, I think we're gonna kick something very cool off in the next 24, 48 hours, okay? This is gonna be something that. This is. We've talked about this. You can't feel any pressure. You have to go forward confidently. You have to go forward bravely. And you have to use the secret.

[Jen]

Okay?

[Burt]

But I think today or tomorrow, you start chasing Chelsea.

[Jen]

I know.

[Stacy]

Oh, that's right.

[Jen]

I know. I think it should start today.

[Burt]

Okay?

[Jen]

And here is my plea to the listeners of the Birch. Okay. I am a humongous Chelsea Handler fan.

[Joanna]

Huge.

[Jen]

I love, love, love Chelsea lately. And if you're not familiar with her, she's written books, she's a standup comedian. She has her own late night talk show. One of the only women in late night. And her show is on E. I think she's hilarious and she's just, I just think a fantastic person anyway. And so she's coming to Atlanta on this coming Sunday. She's got two different shows at the Fox.

[Burt]

She had one and then sold it out so quickly. They added an earlier one the same day.

[Jen]

Exactly. And so my mission is to be able to meet her while she's here. I can't do that on my own. So I need your help.

[Burt]

Now, you remember this started, I think, years and years ago when Jon Bon Jovi came to town with Bon Jovi and I, during our interview with him, asked him if we could just have kind of a mandate. Have a beer.

[Joanna]

Right.

[Burt]

Everything.

[Stacy]

Right. That was before. That was before the.

[Burt]

That ended. That ended creepily. So we won't discuss that any further. Then we can, though.

[Jen]

We can go into that full story.

[Burt]

I'm good.

[Stacy]

Yeah. Because you have to still stay 50ft away from him.

[Burt]

And then Burt and Stacy are hardcore U2 fans. I think Stacy, especially was the first U2 fan. So they did a hunt for Bono when U2 was in town and actually had a good meeting with him, I think on more than one occasion. There was one point where they told Stacey to get out of the window of a hotel room. Cause she was looking down into the lobby. Do you remember that?

[Stacy]

No, I don't remember that. That's funny.

[Burt]

All the guys from the band were, like, hanging out in this lounge that had windows overlooking it. And Stacy actually got in one of the windows, like, in the windowsill and was looking down. And the guys came up. Some security guard came up and said, hey.

[Jen]

Oh, my God.

[Stacy]

That's funny. I didn't know that.

[Jen]

I didn't hear that.

[Burt]

Yeah. I'm 90% sure he talked about it on the air, I hope.

[Jeff]

Huh.

[Alison]

Huh.

[Burt]

So moving right along.

[Jen]

Okay. But, yeah, so. And the listeners helped Bert and Stacy be able to get that accomplished, and they helped you.

[Burt]

And this is what we're doing with chasing Chelsea, right?

[Bert]

Yes.

[Jen]

I need your help. So if you know anyone, you know, a brother's cousins, mother, sister's daughter who might work for her or know her or have the inn or whatever, I would just love to be able to hang out with her and meet her. Like, I want to be able to, like, hang out and have a vodka tonic.

[Burt]

I've got. I'm gonna give you something so big right now.

[Jeff]

What?

[Burt]

That I think could be the clincher.

[Joanna]

Okay.

[Burt]

Could be great for you. But this is not gonna. I don't want this to dissuade anyone else from helping you out, but she is doing a book signing at Outright Bookstore on Sunday afternoon. And Philip From Outright is a good friend of the show's. He's helped us with other things in the past, and Tracy's already been in touch with him to see if Chelsea will come on with us to do an interview promoting that book signing.

[Jen]

Awesome.

[Burt]

And I think last conversation seemed somewhat confident that she would do it, but you never know what her schedule's like

[Jen]

because, yeah, if she called us from LA and did like sort of a, you know, pre interview to promote appearances, whatever, then I could just ask her. I'd be like, hey, I want to buy you a drink. Let's have a drink together.

[Jeff]

Whatever.

[Burt]

This is why we love it.

[Jen]

I say vodka because I know that that is her favorite.

[Joanna]

Just straight up, any time.

[Stacy]

Me, Chelsea.

[Joanna]

Huh?

[Stacy]

I said, are you there, vodka mechanics.

[Jen]

Exactly.

[Burt]

This is the Bird show listeners stepping up already. Hey, Ronnie.

[Frankie]

Hey. I was just gonna say that I went to college with Sarah Colonna, and I don't know if you guys are a Chelsea Lately fan. She is one of the writers of the show.

[Burt]

Okay.

[Jen]

Is she Sarah Longboobs?

[Frankie]

Yeah. She's also a panelist every once in a while. She's the one with the really curly hair and she's really funny and she does some of the Chelsea Lately stand up comedians tours and things. Anyway, I'm Facebook friends with her. Cool. So I could send her a message and tell her what you guys are trying to do and see if she can give you the hookup.

[Jen]

That would be. So Ronnie. Thank you.

[Burt]

Anything like that helps.

[Stacy]

Anything.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

Yes.

[Frankie]

As soon as I get to work today, I will do that, and then I'll let you guys know as soon as she responds.

[Stacy]

Let's make Jen Hobbie's dream come true.

[Jen]

That's so cool.

[Burt]

And as much as it sounds like it, it's not a creepy stalker thing. It's a. I think when I went into it with Jon Bon Jovi, I was 100% convinced that he and I would be friends.

[Jen]

Yeah. Oh, I'm sure that she and I will be BFFs.

[Stacy]

Well, this is why this is the Burt show community, because you call us and you write us and ask for help in certain things, and now we're coming to you for help for certain things. It's, you know, it's reciprocal. So we're asking for help for Jen.

[Burt]

So if you think of anything else, if you have any more ideas, email Jen, send her a tweet, whatever you have to do to get in touch with her. Also, if you encounter anyone who's going to have Chelsea Interaction while she's in town, Just gently nudge her in the direction of.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jen]

Like, if you happen to know where

[Joanna]

she's staying, that would be a good clue.

[Jen]

You know, I don't want to be, like, creepy, though. Like, I'd really like to be able to, like, set it up and, like, have an appointment, even if it's just, like, five or ten minutes on her calendar, somewhere that I can go and try to hang and make my pitch for our friendship that's gonna last forever.

[Burt]

You can't look at it as a friendship pitch, though. You just have to look at it as having a drink together. Because friendships happen naturally.

[Jen]

That's true.

[Burt]

They don't happy when someone.

[Jen]

I think she would really, really like me.

[Burt]

So if you work at a hotel where Jan can get a job as a room service attendant for only one day. So we will start it officially right now. Chasing Chelsea is on.

[Jen]

It's all week long.

[Burt]

Help Jen Hobby's dream of hanging out and becoming friends with Chelsea Handler come true. Thank you in advance for making dreams come true.

[Jen]

Thank you.

[Burt]

Get it. The bird show. Yeah. Local Snopes. Okay. I have heard this now twice. I cannot believe it is true. But the rumor is that it happened to a UGA student. And I don't know if it was this past spring break, which was like a week or two ago, or if it was a spring break, a recent spring break, but I have heard it twice. Supposedly, it is true, and if it is, I would like to talk to the person it happened to. I don't want to talk to my cousin whose roommate had a sister who went to college with that girl. I want to talk to the person that it happened to. And if it did happen, it's spooky and creepy.

[Joanna]

Okay.

[Burt]

To me, it sounds like the plot of a movie, but no movie I've seen. Here's the deal. You know, spring break, there's a bunch of options for spring break. You've got the kids who go home. You got the kids who go down to Cancun or Panama City. You've got the kids who do the service trips, and they go and they do all that stuff.

[Jen]

They go build houses, places and stuff.

[Burt]

Yes. And rarely, you have the kids who stay on campus. Right. So supposedly there is a University of Georgia student who decided that when everybody else was gonna go down to Panama City and party or, you know, Mexico or wherever for spring break, she would stay in Athens and stay in the apartment or the home that she lives in, and she would stay there all of her roommates left, so she was there all alone. She was gonna use that time to get caught up on work and take pictures. Cause she wants to be an artist, a photographer. So she was going to take pictures of the campus and the architecture and do all this stuff. Right?

[Jen]

Okay.

[Burt]

So she stays there all by herself. She's on the University of Georgia campus. Very, you know, it's not deserted, but it's much quieter than it normally is. And she spends the time doing exactly what she said she would do, including taking a bunch of pictures at the end of. And as every. You know, everybody has the best intentions with time, you know, stuff like that. But she doesn't get. She doesn't nearly do the photography that she wants to do until the last couple days of spring break. And she's like, crap, if I'm going to go take pictures with nobody on campus, I got to do it now. So she goes out and does it and then her roommates come back and they all have their stories about spring break and they're. And they're telling the stories about what they did and where they went and showing the pictures and blah, blah, blah. And she says, do you guys want to see what I did? Like as a joke? Because they're looking at their pictures of Mexico and wet T shirt content and all this craziness. And then maybe some other roommate is showing pictures of the house they built down in Guatemala and all this other stuff. So she takes the memory card out of her camera and plugs it into her computer and says, well, this is what I did. I haven't edited these yet, but here they are. And starts scrolling through, okay, and she starts moving through the pictures and there's pictures of the campus, pictures of this, pictures of that. Then there's pictures of her sleeping.

[Jen]

No way.

[Stacy]

What?

[Burt]

Then she looked at a bunch more pictures of the campus and everything. And then the next night, there's pictures of her sleeping.

[Stacy]

No.

[Alison]

What?

[Jen]

Where did you hear this story?

[Burt]

I've heard it from two different people. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't hear it from two different people.

[Jen]

Really? And they say that this is a true story?

[Burt]

Yes.

[Joanna]

So somebody.

[Burt]

That it's being investigated.

[Joanna]

So somebody was taking pictures of her in her place.

[Burt]

Somebody knew that she was there alone and was in the house with her while all of her roommates were there.

[Jen]

It's freaky. And how dare you tell that story when it's still dark outside and people are getting ready for work.

[Burt]

Is that a plot?

[Jen]

It's scary.

[Burt]

Is it a movie? Plot.

[Jen]

It sounds like a horror movie plot, right?

[Joanna]

Well, because how did that person a get in the place? And are they still hiding out in the place or are they around the campus?

[Stacy]

Freaky.

[Jen]

So she was in her apartment alone, right.

[Burt]

And out taking pictures. Didn't look at any of the pictures, but every single.

[Jen]

And they were chronologically where they would have been sleeping. And then she would have picked up the camera again the next day and kept going.

[Burt]

Yes.

[Jen]

Whoa. That is really, really funny. That's like a girl's worst nightmare. And it does sound made up.

[Burt]

And here's why I don't believe it. Because you always scroll through the pictures on your phone so you would stumble across that. But there is a possibility that she just picks up her phone. A camera. I mean, you know, her camera. But there is a possibility that she goes out and shoots 10 pictures. Like, I've shot taken pictures. Like is a photographer before, trying to be all artistic and stuff. And you take the same picture 20 times. You know, you, like, especially with a digital camera when you're not paying for film or anything like that, you can set the dials and you can, you know, so you take. So you could scroll back. Your first shot could be 10 pictures. You scroll back through five of them and go, that's fine. You move on to the next thing. You would never scroll all the way through them.

[Jen]

That is really freaky. I don't know. I mean, I would love to know if it's real or not, but it doesn't sound real to me.

[Joanna]

I hope not.

[Burt]

No, it sounds freaky.

[Joanna]

What if it was a ghost?

[Burt]

A ghost using a camera?

[Jen]

That would almost make me feel better.

[Stacy]

I know.

[Jen]

If it were a ghost doing it, I'd be like, oh, cool. Totally move on in. It's fine.

[Joanna]

But if there's some dude lurking around campus and, like, going into different dorm rooms or apartments and taking pictures, that's scary.

[Jen]

And that taps into, like, every girl's fear. She was alone, somebody's in her place. She doesn't know who it is.

[Burt]

If nobody can identify. If it didn't come from a movie, I think we should write it because that is a great plot. Yes. The rumor is it's been investigated. You know, it's like the campus, campus security and police and everybody has been notified.

[Jen]

Yeah, we need to go through some sort of snopes to figure that out.

[Burt]

The. The phones are lit up. Hey, Marilyn.

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Jeff?

[Burt]

Yeah.

[Alison]

Hey, Jeff. How are you?

[Joanna]

Good.

[Burt]

What's going on?

[Alison]

I was calling to make a comment on what you were talking about?

[Burt]

Yeah.

[Alison]

April Fools is next week. They're building this up as an April Fool's.

[Joanna]

That's not a funny one.

[Jen]

It's not really a joke.

[Alison]

It is kind of creepy.

[Jen]

It's really creepy, but it gave me the chills. Yeah, no kidding.

[Burt]

I would not think so.

[Alison]

I think they're building it up as an early April Fool's joke.

[Jeff]

That's what that is.

[Burt]

I would more believe it if Halloween was next week, because it's not. It's not a jokey story. It's a scary story.

[Jen]

Scary story.

[Joanna]

Especially if you live on that campus.

[Burt]

Hey, Adrian. Yes, what's going on?

[Alison]

How are y'?

[Jeff]

All?

[Alison]

Hey, I got a comment related to this story. Most, I guess most of the really

[Frankie]

expensive cameras, who people, the RC people

[Alison]

use or whatever, they have timers on them. And I guess most of the people who do photography like that, they also have tripods in their house. So she could have set a tripod on and taken a picture of herself.

[Jen]

Oh, so she could have been freaking out her friends.

[Alison]

Maybe.

[Burt]

If that's the case. I love that girl.

[Jen]

That's a good idea. That's a good thought because yeah, she could have taken it herself.

[Joanna]

She's just pissed at her roommates for leaving her.

[Burt]

Yeah. If you have connections in Athens, do what you can to research this story because I would like to know if it's true. Freaky. Listen, it's the Birch Show.

[Commercial Announcer]

All new drinks are now at McDonald's with refreshers like the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Mango Pineapple Refresher with Popping Boba. To crafted sodas like the Sprite Berry Blast with berry flavors and cold foam. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire six. All new drinks are here now at McDonald's.

[Burt]

Refreshers contain caffeine. This is the Birch Show. Joanna's running into a problem on Twitter.

[Joanna]

Yeah.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

So, you know, Jason and I are getting married. And one of the issues I was having was finding a priest because we're getting married in Florida, and we want to get married in this beautiful Catholic church. And I don't know of any priests in Florida, so I had to go through this.

[Jen]

Why Florida?

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Well, cause both of our families vacationed in St. Augustine growing up, and we. And I always wanted to get married in this cathedral that's in the historic part.

[Stacy]

It's a beautiful town. So cool.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

And so when we got engaged, the first thing he said is, you know, let's do it in St. Augustine. You know, we go there every year for vacation. I was like, that's perfect, because I always wanted to get married in this cathedral there. Well, the next step is finding a priest because you can't book the church until you find a priest. So I had to go through this company to find the guy that would marry us.

[Stacy]

Pick a priest.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Yes, exactly.

[Joanna]

That's a new website.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Well, Father Tim called me. We talked on the phone. He asked me what I did for a living. I told him I worked for the Burt Show. He looked me up. And now that we have this beautiful new website with our Twitter feeds, he's found me on Twitter and he's been reading my tweets, and he comments on almost every single tweet.

[Bert]

Really?

[Stacy]

It's weird.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

It's weirding me out because now I have to be really careful as to what I'm saying on there.

[Jen]

You gotta. Yeah. Censor the tweets now, Exactly.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Well, the first one he commented on was when we were having that discussion on whether or not Jason and I should live together. And I wrote on my Twitter, one of my tweets was, should Jason and I live together when he moves to Atlanta? And he emailed me and said, I suggest you two don't live together before you get married.

[Bert]

Really?

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Oh, my God.

[Jen]

Well, he's a Catholic priest. He can tell you what he thinks,

[Joanna Rodriguez]

you know, and then the second one

[Stacy]

was when you ask, he can tell you what he thinks when you ask. But for him to kind of be the shadow over, you know, the Catholic shadow.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Yes.

[Bert]

Now, how does the whole, like, pre canon thing work? Like, don't you guys have to hang out with this dude for an entire Weekend. And then he either blesses the whole marriage or says, look, it's probably not gonna work.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Well, we discussed that. We do have to get with him a weekend. We're gonna wait until Jason gets to Atlanta.

[Burt]

Can't you just do it and do that pre canon stuff on Twitter? 140 characters.

[Bert]

Sort of doing it now.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. He's already giving me advice on whether or not I should be living with Jason or not. And he's just. Seriously, I feel like I tweet and then he immediately, like emails me about something and I just don't know that

[Stacy]

would freak me out.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

I'm wondering if he's following me and I can somehow block him without him knowing that I've blocked him.

[Bert]

You can block. You don't wanna mess with that. You can't mess with Jesus. Don't block Jesus.

[Burt]

You can't block God. Well, you're not the only one with this problem because there are now that Facebook, you know, started out. Facebook started out with colleges. It started out, I think, at Harvard. Then it became an Ivy League thing and then it became a college thing. And so it kind of spread from the 18 to 24 year olds. Then as those people graduated, became 18 to 30 year old. Now the fastest growing segment on Facebook is like women 45 and 50 to like 70.

[Alison]

My mom.

[Burt]

And they're using it to keep in touch. And people's moms are on Facebook now.

[Joanna]

Families, aunts, uncles. It's weird.

[Jen]

Grandmothers.

[Burt]

Now, if you had. Right now, if you had. Is your grandmother on Facebook? She is.

[Joanna]

It's really fun to see that they do have a social life.

[Jen]

It's kind of fun.

[Bert]

Yeah, it's fun that way. But then you've really got to sort of filter and monitor yourself on what you're putting up there. And it's. It becomes. It's not real at that point.

[Burt]

Nursing a hangover third week in a row. This sucks. Oh, can't tell grandma that Jason's grandparents

[Joanna Rodriguez]

are on Facebook and I won't accept them as my friends.

[Stacy]

Yeah, I think there's a responsibility of the elder not to get in your business after a certain time.

[Jen]

They're kind of naive to it, though, and they don't realize why you wouldn't want them to be your friend.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

But it doesn't freak me out as much as my priest reading my tweets. Like, I'm already responding to them.

[Stacy]

I don't know, I just. Something about it just feels like, read the. Read them, but don't, like, immediately respond to every single one of them. That's just a little too much.

[Alison]

You know what?

[Stacy]

You're crowding me, Father. You're crowding me.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Yeah, like we haven't even met yet. I don't even know if I'm gonna

[Jen]

accept you as me Mother. Tim.

[Stacy]

Get off my back.

[Bert]

Now would be a bad time to unfollow Jesus.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Yeah, probably would be. And I won't be posting this segment on our website either, because I don't want him to read to listen to this.

[Jen]

Well, it seems to me that you guys need Father Tim more than Father Tim needs you, though.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Exactly.

[Burt]

He knows he's in a power position.

[Jen]

He does. Because, I mean, in order to get married in the Catholic church you want to get married in, you got to have a Catholic priest.

And we've already, like, confirmed as our priest. That's the only way we booked the church. You have to have your priest confirmed. So I can't unconfirm him because then I lose my slot in this church.

[Jen]

You're stuck with him for a year. For a year.

[Bert]

How many people do you have following you right now? Like, would it be a really big deal if you started a different account, like the real Joanna Rodriguez?

[Burt]

Well, why can't he just follow her on that?

[Stacy]

Well, don't tell anybody. Don't even use your real name. And let your close friends know about it. And keep it locked.

[Joanna]

You can put it on private.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Yeah, can I put it on private?

[Stacy]

You can lock a Twitter account. Yes.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

Okay, I'm gonna work on that. I need someone with some Twitter.

[Bert]

But if he finds out about it,

[Joanna Rodriguez]

he's gonna be angry.

[Bert]

Instant rejection right there.

[Stacy]

Ah, that's just weird. I just I' I think is weird.

[Burt]

Can you imagine if he hopped on Facebook, then got on Jason's Facebook, then started networking with all your family sitting and got, like, a message like, hey, is that Bert guy gonna be at your wedding? Cause he seems to have a party problem.

[Stacy]

Has anybody ever had to put a restraining order out on a priest? Is that not cool? Nobody wants to try that.

[Jen]

That's creepy.

[Joanna Rodriguez]

It is kind of creepy.

Josh found some audio. There have actually been songs written about people's mom joining Facebook and discovering this, opening up a whole. It's a whole new world. Your Facebook life is totally different than your real life that your mom knows. So when mom gets on Facebook, big problems.

This is the Birch Show, a warning from Jace Medical. Even if the war stops, the shortages won't because ships move slowly. The US has been running on oil that set sail months ago. But that buffer is running out. Asia is already feeling it it. Europe is feeling it. Africa is feeling it. Demand is increasing as supply tightens, and it's what's been raising your power bill and gas prices. But those last ships to the US Just arrived. And even if things stabilize, the ripple effects will last much, much longer. Because oil doesn't just power your car. It powers the systems that make and deliver your medications. And when supply slows, shortages begin. The difference between panic and peace. This is preparation with Jace. The Jace case is a doctor prescribed emergency supply of essential medications and prescription antibiotics delivered right to your door so you're ready before you need it. No waiting, no scrambling, just control. Get your Jace case [e-mail] all new
