Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
the Burt show hi, Matthew Dwyer back in studio from Healthy Trim. What's going on, dude?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Good morning. How are you?
Jen
Good, man.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
For those that are like new listeners to the Burt show and they have no idea who Matthew Dwyer is, they have no idea what Healthy Trim is. They don't have no idea who you are and what this challenge is all about. Give them the Matthew Dwyer Healthy Trim. Burt's Big Adventure 101.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Well, I was gonna do that. I was gonna talk about how after 27 months, you know, I've lost 47 pounds in the first 100 days. And after 27 months of going from a fat tub of goo to taking over Healthy Trim, Jen, am I still at 31 the waist after 20, 27 months?
Jeff
Wow. Super skinny today. He walked in and I was like, you are skinny. What's going on? You're not drinking enough. You are too skinny.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
I don't drink enough. We're going to get to that in a second. Something that Melissa was talking about earlier regarding. Regarding vodka. So. But first, I want to start off by reading this email that Bert sent me last week. It says from a dude I put. From the dude in the office. I put on healthy trim a month ago. I was able to stop taking my Adderall and I have tons of energy and the more exercise and I'm feeling better. My meals have been cut in half because I get filled up so quickly. I'm able to control my urges for food because I constantly feel full and I want to smoke less. But I am not sure if it's because of healthy trim or because I stopped the Adderall. I feel really good, though. I feel better than I felt in three years. I'm sticking with it because I feel the results of losing weight quickly without having to wait to see the progress that is what's keeping me on it. Healthy trim has changed my life in the last month.
Jen
Wow.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
So I thought that was kind of a compelling email. And then I thought we would kind of. Rather than to talk about how great healthy trim is, let's go after. Let's everybody just come after me. I want to know why.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Personally or professional?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Either way. Well, we've got over 100,000 people listening right now. And according to the studies. Yes, according to the studies.
Wendy
Really?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I don't think it's anywhere near that.
Jen
All of a sudden, I got nauseous
Lisa (Licensed Psychotherapist)
a little bit.
Wendy
I thought it was just our families online.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Wow.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
You know, I don't know. You know, would Q100 listeners, would they rather e boxed meals or count calories or have lap band surgery or would they rather take an all natural supplement that actually works? What do you think?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Is that a rhetorical question? Yeah, I think I have to say healthy trim because you're about to give me a big check for Burt's big convention.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Well, you don't. But, you know, I think that people, you know, really want to know that. There's a bunch of questions that people want to know. And the number one question seems to be can I drink alcoholic beverages while taking healthy drip? And Melissa, you said this morning at 5:45 that. I'm sorry, Wendy, at 5:45 that there's 200 calories in a shot of vodka.
Melissa
Something like that.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Well, thankfully for me and for Bert, that's incorrect. There's actually 64 calories in a shot of Belvedere vodka and 69 calories in a shot of Svedka vodka.
Jen
See?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
And for those of you that want to know. So basically, here's the gig yes, you can drink alcoholic beverages while on healthy trim, but the darker the liquor, the worse it is for you. The best is what Burt drinks, which is vodka soda, I think. I mean, have you ever had a vodka soda?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Maybe one or two. Yeah. And when I was getting in a
Jeff
five minute period back in the day,
Wendy
Bert, when you were really healthy, you would just.
Jen
In 60 seconds, I could do two vodka tonics.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Maybe one or two.
Wendy
Back when you were really healthy, you just used to snort the pure vodka right up your nose.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That's not too far from the truth, to be totally honest with you. But, yeah, when I was working out for that picture that we did a long time ago, my trainer had said, look, I mean, you gotta really watch what you're drinking here. And if you wanna watch the amount of calories that you have and the sugar intake, what you get hungover from is, yeah, the alcohol, but also your sugar intake. And it processes as fat or it stores as fat, the sugar and alcohol. So you really gotta watch what you're eating. And vodka, there's hardly any sugar at all in it. Or at least it's better than the dark liquor.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Yeah, that's correct. You want to stay away from vodka tonic. I do drink vodka cranberry. There's a little bit of sugar in the cranberry juice, but as you know, I don't put a whole lot of cranberry in my vodka. But another thing is, people want to know the price. It's $54.95. And without for a month's supply. And without question, people are saying they're saving money on healthy trim. And don't take my word for it. For y' all here in the studio and for everybody listening, when you go pump your gas today or tomorrow, just sit there at the food store and watch what people do when they pump their gas. They pump their gas and they go in and they buy a Big Gulp or they buy their energy drinks, and then they buy a big bag of chips and donuts and whatnot with it. My point is this. The Average person wastes $20 a day on the BS eating and snacking. So you will, without question, save money on healthy trim because you're eating what you want, but you're getting fuller faster, and it's all natural.
Jeff
You said come after you.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Yeah, come after me.
Jeff
I've got a question.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Go, let me have it.
Jeff
I've heard from the people in the office who are taking healthy trim that you take it in the morning and then you don't eat for several Hours. And that, to me, goes opposite of any nutritionist I've ever heard of, which is wake up and eat breakfast and get your metabolism started right away so that you are getting your metabolism going with healthy breakfast, and you go all day long. But with healthy trim, they've said you're not supposed to eat well.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
You sound like my brother Sean, the Harvard Business School graduates. Yes, that's correct. If you have the willpower to wake up in the morning and eat right away and then eat small, six to seven meals a day, go get them. Personally, I can't do that. And I think most Americans are out there just like me that can't do that. I ask that you take healthy trim in the morning as your breakfast, drink water, and you go about your day. The only people that HealthyTrim does not work for are the people that forget to shelve their caffeinated drinks, period.
Jeff
So they take it and keep drinking coffee, and so does the doctor.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Yeah, they take it and they drink their coffee or they drink their period. And also, I think, Bert, you should tell people how you tell your friends and family to take healthy trim.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
When they ask me for a bottle, I tell them to take the smallest amount possible, and that's to. Because everybody's body is so different that I think people want to lose weight within 24 hours. So they take, like, three healthy trim when they wake up in the morning, and. And they're so, like, tweaked out that they stop taking it after 24 hours. So what I do is I tell them take the smallest amount possible in the first couple of days. Just one pill. See how your body reacts to it. Lose all caffeine, and then listen to your body over 72 hours and adjust from there. Like, some people need that meal in the morning, but you have to listen to your body. Others can go without that meal and go three hours and be fine.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Yeah, everybody's body's different. Some people need two, some people need four. Some people need six. You know, some of these contestants. Another thing is, you know, I want to make it clear that all these contestants. You're about to hear tremendous, tremendous weight loss from these 10 contestants we have out here. And we'll hear it from them. But the main thing is they got no special treatment other than taking HealthyTrim. Yes. Did I go in whenever I could to work out with them? Yes. Do you lose weight faster if you work out with HealthyTrim and you get tremendous workouts? Yes, you do. But HealthyTrim absolutely works. Do I know Healthytrim is the best in the world. No, I do not. But I do know this. I'm on 150 radio stations throughout the country and everybody on all those stations is personally seeing results. So, you know, if you're listening out there, you have questions. You want to call into 800-456-Trim or go to HealthyTrim.com to learn more and find out why all these contestants are losing weight. It's HealthyTrim.com but, you know, another question is, is this FDA approved? Here's the deal. There's no preapproval with all natural supplements because there's nothing synthetic in here, Jen. However, the FDA highly, highly regulates the facilities where our supplements are manufactured. The other questions are about allergy and thyroid and high blood pressure. But I think we'll get into that once we get into these stories.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Ashley has a quick question for you and then I want to get into the donation part of this whole thing. Hey, Ashley, good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller
Good morning. I had a question from Matthew about taking Healthy Trim with other weight loss products. Like, I had Ally and Healthy Trim going at the same time.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Did you carry your diaper with you with Ally like it says on the bottle?
Caller
Yeah, yeah. No.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You really poop yourself on that stuff?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
It's. Yeah, yeah, it says right on the bottle, please carry a diaper with.
Wendy
I actually think that's a great thing. Like here, if you eat anything while you're taking this, you're gonna crap yourself. It's a pretty intensive.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
At least it's honest.
Jeff
Yeah, you don't gotta be going through the drive through.
Wendy
That's a pretty solid diet product. Cause if somebody slipped that to me and said if you eat in the next 24 hours, you're gonna cry, crap your pants, guess what you would need.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
So what's your question, Ashley?
Caller
Well, basically I just want to know, does he think that that probably had an effect on the healthy trend? Because the fact that I gained weight, I was like, I don't want to take this stuff anymore. Because, Ally, I consistently lose weight, maybe because I'm crapping myself, but also, you know, like, I just, I didn't know which one it was, if it was just negatively affecting it or if it was.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I don't understand combination.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
I don't understand your question either.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
What's the question? You were taking both at the same time.
Caller
Yes.
Melissa
And she's wondering why didn't work.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That's a lot of diet supplements.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Yeah, I'm not real sure. All I'll tell you is this. There's 150 milligrams of caffeine, natural caffeine from the green tea, in one capsule. So feel your body out. It's equivalent to a 16 ounce Starbucks cup of coffee or a Dunkin Donuts cup of coffee. So if you're used to three or four cups of coffee, you might need two or three. Healthy trim. Just figure out the right amount of healthy trim that curbs those late night cravings, because the late night cravings are the killer. And here's the thing. I was a guy that tried 40 to 50 different dietary supplements, and nothing worked for me. I loved the mashed potatoes. I loved the chips. I loved the sugars. I loved the carbs. And I couldn't stop myself. And now, after 27 months, not only did I lose 47 pounds in 100 days, but I've kept the weight off ever since. I've gone from a 38 in the waist to a 31 in the waist. And trust me, I like to live my life. I'm no stranger to fun. That's the beautiful thing about healthy trim. It's easy and it actually works. But, you know, I think we should kind of turn it over to the stories we've got.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That last. That last caller is a great example of how, like, people want to lose weight so desperately in 24 hours. She's willing to take everything at the same time. You can't do that.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Instructions. I mean, look, we're a month away from bathing suit season. I mean, this is the time. It's not January. Now is the time to go to Healthy Trim.com. you have nothing to lose but the weight, because we'll fully refund your money, no questions asked, if it doesn't work for you. But I know it will if you take it the right way.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, so let's get to Burt's Big Adventure and this contest also, because it was 90 days ago that Matthew made the offer to 10 Burt show listeners and said, look, for every pound you lose, he was going to donate $50 to Burt's Big Adventure. That is big money for us right there. So we've had 10 people that have been losing weight for the last 90 days. The biggest success story in 90 days is Jay Gilhouse. 87 pounds in 90 days.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
That's pretty strong, dude.
Jeff
That's incredible.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I'm not even sure if that's endorsable because it's so much weight. Like, my first instinct is, is that healthy?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Well, yeah, he's, you know, look at my Biggest loser. Some of these people lose £200. Yeah. It's first, here's the beautiful thing.
Wendy
Matthew amputated both of his arms.
Caller
Yeah.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Here's the beautiful thing about Jay Gilhouse. And it leads into one of the frequently asked questions. Can you take healthy children with high blood pressure medication? He's been on high blood pressure medication since he was 19 years old. He's 47 years old. And last week, for the first time in 28 years, his doctor took him off high blood pressure medication.
Jeff
Are you serious?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
100%, he says, because of Healthy Trim.
Sleep Number Advertiser
Nice.
Jeff
Wow.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That's incredible. Coupled with that story last week that I sent you from the employee here that's off the Adderall. I'm like, dang.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Okay. We had a girl with a thyroid condition started taking Healthy Trim. Her name is Emily York. She started taking thyroid. She takes Synthroid. She started taking Healthy Trim in September. She said she's tried everything for 10 years. She's lost 126 pounds since September.
Jeff
That's a person.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah, it is a person.
Juso (WWE Wrestler)
Wow.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, so Overall, in the 90 days these 10 contestants lost how much weight?
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
400 pounds, which gives us a donation of 20 grand. However, that's a $20,000. But I was here and Jeff, you know, you wanted me to be the biggest contributor and I wanted to be the biggest contributor. There was also times where I was on and the listeners got to participate and were able, if they bought Healthy Trim to make a donation themselves to Burt's Big Adventure. So we added it all up and it comes out to a check from HealthyTrim.com to Burt's Big Adventure for $40,000
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
is huge right there. That's, that's amazing.
Jeff
That's life changing money right there for those families that get to go on Burt's Big Adventure.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Big times. Thank you to all the, the Burt's Big Adventure contestants that took this thing so seriously because that, like Jen said, they have no idea how they're going to touch these families next year. That's amazing.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
It's really, you know, I'm, we're so glad to be a part of it. And again, if anybody wants to ask questions, anybody wants to, you know, find out about Healthy Trim, if anybody wants to start taking Healthy Trim, an all natural supplement with lots of healthy benefits, they go to HealthyTrim.com or call 1-800-456-TRIM. That's 800-456-TRIM.

Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
No purchase necessary VGW Group Void where Prohibited by law CTS and C's 21+ Sponsored by Chumba Casino the Birch Show It's a bit broken right now. American Idol Ratings for American Idol. Let's check them out. Revenue's fine, at least this year, but the ratings are down. American Idol Adults 1849 for Tuesday night was down 9% from last week for its lowest 18 to 49 year old rating since 2002.
Jeff
So that's people that are watching that are between the ages of 18 and 49.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Idol delivered its lowest ratings ever and lowest household ratings. Average viewership in adults between the ages of 25 and 54 since August of 2002. So it's not doing so swell right now.
Jen
Yeah, I mean at the beginning of the season I just, I'm one of the people that doesn't want, you know, doesn't watch anymore. And so y' all made fun of me because I didn't want to watch because Paula was gone and I felt they had changed the original formula of the show and she was gone. And you know, everybody thought that Ellen was going to come in and be great and I thought, well, I just don't know if her non musical background is going to be enough to sustain it through the season.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
And I don't think that's the sole reason why it's down though. I mean I think it's a contributing factor for sure that Ellen's not what we thought she was going to be, but I don't think that's the sole factor.
Jeff
I think the biggest factor is the contestants.
Wendy
That's it.
Caller
I think.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah. USA Today.
Wendy
They found all the talented people. There's no talented people left in America.
Jen
Well, I mean, the season that Taylor Hicks won was, you know, still had a lot more ratings than this. And, you know, that was Katherine McPhee year.
Jeff
She really got total scrooge that Taylor
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
won the whole thing.
Jeff
Yeah. Katherine McPhee should have won, and she would have been a megastar.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Was he one of the worst American Idol winners of all time?
Melissa
I think so. Well, he hasn't done anything since.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I know Jen has that list that we're going to talk about later on, too, that, like, who are the best and who are the worst American Idol winners or finalists. And the bottom part of the list is way more interesting than the top part. Yeah. This is what USA Today says, what's busted about American Idol. And we can debate this back and forth, but first, they say the producers are jacking this thing up. They say in nine seasons, they still haven't figured out how to finish a live broadcast on time or even worse, how to pace it out so the last contestant isn't subjected to judges that really don't say anything at all. I mean, they're just wrapping it up at that point, and sometimes that puts the last contestants at a disadvantage.
Jeff
Yeah. And I think the beginning contestants, they just let the judges go on and on and on and on and on. Like, they need to be tighter on those judges. And remember when they added. What was it last year was the first. Was Kara's first season, right? Yes. So that was a huge struggle for the producers the first year that they had four, but they've already had a season with four judges. They should be able to figure it out, you know, and it seems like
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
even when it's time for them to wrap up, then Ryan continues. It's just way too long in the beginning. Right. That's one of the things they say is busted, But I don't see that as a major thing. This is the one right here that you guys brought up the contestants this year, man.
Jeff
I don't think they've got the strength that they have in the past. I mean, I just. There's not a lot of those goosebump performances. You're trying to figure out who's sort of the best out of all of them. But I think Crystal Bowersox is the only one who's really her. And big Mike, I guess a couple of times have given me goosebumps this Season where you're at home watching and literally the hairs on your arms stand up watching them hit a note or create a performance. But it's. I. I could count them on one hand. You know what I mean? And I think in past seasons, it's been a lot of different people creating those moments and some people surprising you with those moments and, you know, just like constantly bringing you back into the show because the talent pool was so good. And I think this year you're sort of trying to look for the best of the worst.
Melissa
And I don't think there's any, like, big personalities or captivating, like, personal stories that are going on in their lives. There's nothing about any of them know anything about them.
Wendy
Like, they produce Olympic broadcasts where they make up a story if there isn't one. And Bowersox stood on her porch and stared into the sunset while contemplating her rough upbringing.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah, the only one that I know this year is Big Mike in the pregnancy. His wife delivered while he was auditioning. That's the only great story. It's a great story. It's the only one I remember. What they say here is pretty much what you guys are saying, is that the talent among the four remaining finalists, they have talent, but none of them is a quote unquote artists. They say none of them is an entertainer in the way that love or hate him. Adam Lambert clearly was last year. You just can't love or hate any of them. They're just kind of there.
Jeff
I think, Chris, I would disagree with that in that I think that Crystal really is an artist on her own.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I would say that, too. Yeah.
Jeff
You know, I think she'll be able to create her own brand. Is it a pop mainstream, you know, pop culture brand? I don't think so. I think she's gonna be hanging out, like, on a jam cruise here soon.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
This speaks to Melissa's point. It says, give Ellen a job. And it says, you'd think providing the contestants with an entertainer's perspective would be the perfect role for Ellen DeGeneres, who could be using her comments to help these novices become polished performers. Yet it's clear now than it was at the start what purpose she thinks she's serving other than a smile and tell them that they're great.
Wendy
Well, she's got a five year contract to figure it out.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I don't think this. You think the show's gonna be around five years?
Melissa
No.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I don't know, man.
Wendy
It's still. Even though its ratings are down, it still outperforms a Lot of other shows,
Jeff
tons of other shows.
Wendy
Like, it's not. I mean, we're talking, oh, what do you got to do to fix American Idol? What you're talking about is fixing it to the point where 30 to 40, 40% of America watched it. That's unbelievable.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
But the holes. You're starting to see the holes in the ship, though. You know, it's starting to get beat by Dancing with the Stars now.
Wendy
But what I'm saying is there's a lot of shows that do far worse that have been on the air much longer.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Look, it all comes down to how much money they're making, and this year they're fine. I think the revenue is actually up this year because everybody put their ads in before the season started. So they were assuming it was going to be a huge ratings monster next year. That might be down a little bit
Jeff
in comparison to creating a show like a lost or 30 rock or something like that, where you have to pay mega stars to be on the show and you've got to create sets and this and that and the other thing. Like, it's probably fairly cheap to produce American Idol in the TV world.
Caller
I don't know.
Jeff
They don't pay any of those people to be on the show. I mean, they have to pay the judges and they have to pay Ryan Seacrest, but they don't have to pay any of those cast members to be there.
Wendy
But when you do the math, like you're talking about how much money it can make when you do the math and take Simon's salary out of it and add that to a revenue dip. If I'm a producer, if I'm the programmer and I look at the bottom line and removing a big salary, even if it hits the ratings, you still might be able to generate the same revenue.
Jen
They'll definitely be around for years.
Jeff
It's just.
Jen
It's not going to ever be at the height it was before.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
This is the one problem that they said that kind of surprised me. It said, muzzle the host. For some of us, just hearing Ryan Seacrest insert that dramatic pause in the introductory, this is American Idol, which I do with them every week, is enough to set on our teeth on edge. But even those who like him must realize he's running amok. To the long running, uncomfortable faux lovers quarrels with Simon Cowell and his equally embarrassing interviews with the singers, he's now added an arsenal of odd behaviors ranging from petulant snits to flighty over exuberance. Watching him is exhausting.
Wendy
He is starting to crack up, I think.
Juso (WWE Wrestler)
You think?
Jeff
Really?
Wendy
Yep.
Jeff
He's making some jokes.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Me too. I can watch him a lot. Still.
Jeff
I think he's fantastic. I. I just admire the way he's able to like, handle all of that and juggle it and host it and make it look really easy.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
But maybe they're saying he's just contributing to that. That banter that they're talking about. Too much. Maybe. But either way, it's a little.
Wendy
There's one thing this show knows a lot about. It's too much banter.

I'm just being crazy because Brittany thinks that there's some signs here that maybe her boyfriend is screwing around on her, but she's not sure if she's being nutty about it or not.
Jeff
Okay.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Hey, Brittany.
Jeff
There's some telltale signs, right?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I think there are some red flags all the time.
L
Yeah.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Hey, Brittany.
Caller
What's up?
L
Hey.
Caller
How's it going?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Good. How are you?
Caller
Oh, I'm pretty good.
Jeff
How is it working in one of those hurricane simulators.
Caller
I know.
I think it's where I'm at on the highway, but hopefully that's where I.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, Brittany. So you've been going out with this dude for how long now?
Caller
I think a little over two years.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Two years. All right, so. And up to this point, you think he's been faithful?
Caller
I guess. I thought so, but now I'm not. I'm not sure.
Jeff
What's making you question his faithfulness.
Caller
Well, I've noticed just a lot of. I don't know, for example, like if he's traveling, not. Not out of state or anything, but if he's traveling for work and he'll say he's in One place, and then, you know. And then, you know, it's this long until he's in another place. And it's just like, it doesn't add up. Like, it wouldn't be enough time to go from one place to the next. And then, you know, a lot of times he'll be gone, and then it's for, you know, a couple of hours. You can't reach him at all. He seems. I've noticed that he has on his phone recently taking. Taking some photos of. It's like himself. And it just. I mean, I don't know why. It just seems like it would be a photo for maybe a profile picture or something that you emailed or send in a text. Just a lot of random things like that.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Did he.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Does he have any history of screwing around on you before that would make you insecure now?
Caller
Well, I don't really know for sure, but I think so.
Melissa
So, but you don't know. What does he do for a living?
Caller
Well, he. He works for a company where he goes out and he goes out to, you know, people's homes every day.
Jen
Okay, so didn't have an office job?
Caller
No, just. He only goes to the office once in a while.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
And when you say, you call or you text him. How many hours are we talking about before he hits you back?
Caller
Sometimes it's like, you know, I'll be in regular contact with him, and then all of a sudden it'll be like two hours or maybe three hours before then I'm able to get in touch with.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Is that super unusual?
Jeff
Have you asked him about why he's out of touch? What does he say when you ask him about it? Like, hey, I was trying to call you to find out what you want for dinner, but you weren't answering your phone. What does he say?
Caller
Oh, I was busy, I was working. You know, that kind of thing.
Jen
I mean, I think it's almost like you're applying. I mean, you already had. Your gut is telling you something's wrong and you're applying everything to that. Because I don't think it's abnormal for somebody to be out of touch with their partners for hours on a work day, you know, but. But you have suspicion.
Wendy
Did you say at the beginning, when he travels, like he's in different places than he says he is?
Caller
Well, I think so. I mean, it's just kind of like if you said, you know, that. I don't know, say you're in Atlanta and you'll know, you know, that you'll be coming home, which is I don't know, say, you know, Marietta or something like that. You kind of know the time. You know, I mean, including traffic, you kind of know the time that it would take to get there. But then all of a sudden, if you show up in, like, 15 minutes, there's no way you're in Atlanta. You know what I'm saying?
Jeff
So, okay, so he shows up faster or longer than where he says he is. Do you guys spend a lot of time together on the weekends when he's not working?
Caller
Yeah, we do.
Jeff
Like, is there any time on the weekends where he disappears?
Caller
Not usually, no.
Jeff
So it's just during the week while he's working, and you can't reach him a lot of?
Caller
Yeah, pretty much. And then, I know. I've noticed that. Just little habits. Like, for example, if he's, you know, at home using his computer, if he goes away from the computer, it's like he logs off every time. Like, if he's just, you know, stepping away, it just seems like really weird behavior.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
As soon as you come in the room, he closes out what he's doing,
Caller
and he logs off sometimes. Or if he's, like, in a. You know, just step away and go, you know, to another room or whatever. Like, he logs off my computer at home.
Jeff
Have you ever questioned him about it? Have you ever said, why do you do that?
Caller
Yeah, he just says that I'm being nosy or something like that, so.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
400.4741q100. What was with the wallet? Also, you emailed us something that had to do with that.
Caller
Oh, yeah. It'll be. It was one night, and I just noticed this. It wasn't, you know, in its usual, you know, place, you know, once you come home and kind of, you know, relax or whatever. And then it was. I don't know where it was. I never. I could never. You know, I was looking around the house and things like that. Maybe it was in the pants pocket or coat pocket, but I have no idea where it was. I never saw it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
What does that say to you, though? It must be bugging you in some way, because you emailed us about the wallet as well.
Caller
So maybe it was either hidden or it was left somewhere.
Melissa
Why would he hide his wallet? Like, what he had?
Caller
I mean, I don't know. Unless he had something in there he wouldn't want me to see.
Jeff
Is this making you not want to be in a relationship with him?
Caller
Yeah, kind of. Yeah.
Jen
Well, it doesn't sound. I mean, the relationship, you're. You're paranoid. In it, you know, I mean, right now. I mean, it obviously sounds like it's everything you think about. Every move he makes you think is to cover something else up.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Have you been burned in the past by former boyfriends that cheated on you?
Caller
No, not really. Okay.
Wendy
No, just this one.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Sheila, good Morning. You're on Q100.
Caller
Hey, Bert. That's exactly. I just want to tell a caller that's exactly how I caught my boyfriend cheating at one point in time. Was the individual profile pictures of himself on his phone and then found them on the website. Profile?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That's the strangest one that you mentioned to me because I can't think of any reason why I would just take a picture of just my face.
Caller
Mm.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Unless I was gonna post it on a computer somewhere.
Melissa
Yeah, like Twitter or something.
Jeff
Or if he's online dating, which is
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
what your gut was telling you, which
Wendy
would be a profile picture. I did that with when I got her email. I looked through my phone to see, and I take a bizarre number of pictures of my dog and cat to see how many pictures I've ever seen.
Melissa
Are they online dating?
Wendy
My cat's got a profile. MeowMatch.com
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Good morning, Q100.
Caller
Hello.
Jen
Are you about to grow?
Caller
Good morning.
Jen
Good morning.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Hi.
Caller
Hi. I think she should trust her gut.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Have we talked about this before?
Caller
Ask him. And if he doesn't come clean, just trust your gut.
Wendy
Ask him what?
Caller
Well, just whatever she feels uncomfortable about. And if he doesn't come out clean, then trust your God. There's 50 million people in this world, and she doesn't need to waste your time on one person that's going to be unfaithful. If she feels that it's going on, then something's not right.
Jeff
I agree with you, but I think you got to talk to him about it, because part of me feels like this could be a little bit of paranoia on your part. I mean, if you guys are together every weekend when he's not working and you're spending all weekend together, there's no time during the weekend that he disappears that you're spending all this time together. I mean, if he's giving you enough, like, attention and affection, all that stuff when he's not working, if it's only during these work times or when he's on his computer. I don't know. I would. I would ask. I would. If you think of the relationship is worth fighting for, then I would say fight for it and find out the answers that you need before just bailing on it. Because typically Typically ask.
Caller
If I ever do ask or question things, it's always either I'm just being nosy or I'm snooping. Or it'll be turned around that somehow, you know, like, whatever happened is my fault.
Jen
And that's a red flag in it.
Caller
I caused it or whatever.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Here is Nessa. She thinks she's got it figured out. Hey, Nessa.
L
Hello.
Caller
Hey.
L
I can say, yes, he is cheating. I only. Myself. I only date men who are married or in relationships. And what he is doing, as far as walking off every time he gets up to go to another room taking pictures of himself. He's. Yeah, he's. He's not being faithful. Because that's classic normal. That's what they do.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That. That one example to you says it all right there.
L
Well, I mean, they're hanging out together on the weekends, but that's, you know, that's normal, too. I mean, he has his weekdays where he's, you know, working. But, you know, she's not there and he's home and 15. Yeah, he's cheating.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
And you say you only date married guys?
L
I only date married men.
Melissa
Why?
Caller
It's safe to eat for myself.
L
Because I know what I'm getting into. And I know that I cannot get hurt because I know the situation.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
So it's purely, like, sexual for you?
L
Yeah, basically. I mean, yeah, on one hand. No, on the other. For me, it's more safety on one hand.
Wendy
And on the other hand, that's twisted.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That's gonna take us in a different direction at another time. But I will save that call. Thank you, Nessa.
L
Thank you.
Lisa (Licensed Psychotherapist)
Bye.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Bye. You know. Well, here's Stephanie. She's got an idea. Hey, Stephanie. Good Morning. You're on Q100.
Caller
Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't know exactly what phone carrier she has, but cell phone people, they offer GPS tracking. So that'll be a quick way for her to find out if he was actually telling the truth or not.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Well, if you wanted to do this kind of thing, you know, we used that private investigator that Jason. When we were trying to do the. I'm just curious. The townhouse thing. And he's offered his services to us. If you wanted to track him. And you wanted these guys to sort of tail him. Find out where he's really coming from. When he says he's half an hour away, but he's really only 10 minutes away. They could do that for you.
Jeff
Or it would probably only take somebody to sit down and do a couple searches on your computer, right?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yes. If you really want to find out? We can find out for you.
Caller
Yeah, that would. That would be good.
Jeff
If you found out for sure, would you definitely leave?
Caller
Definitely.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Oh, yeah. You want me to call him later on today?
Jen
You're afraid to find out, aren't you?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah, because he'll find out. He's really, really good. He'll find out.
Jen
Well, two years is a long time.
Caller
Yeah, I mean, I guess it would be better to know, you know, if that's what's really happening.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
At least you can give the information. You can make a decision from there.
Caller
Sure.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Okay. Let me put you on hold, and I'll get in touch with those guys. Because he's really good.
Wendy
Now, do we have to offer the disclaimer, you know, the other side of it, that if he ever finds out that you did this and he's not doing anything, that relationship's over?
Caller
Could be.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah, that is true. Did you hear that?
Caller
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
But he doesn't have. I mean, if she hires Jason. Jason says nothing's going on. All good then. But it's your own decision to keep that to yourself or tell him. But I think I'd see. I'd keep it to myself.
Wendy
I'm just saying, if he. If he ever found out, like, that's. That's big.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
He's gonna be pretty upset.
Matthew Dwyer (Healthy Trim Representative)
Hey, the Bird show. The Bird Show.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All or nothing trivia. Same question that we've had the last couple of days. These five male celebrities are rumored to just really suck very badly in bed. Who are they? And here is what we are adding to the jackpot today. It's oar tickets at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. And that is added to Green Day tickets. You got Spa Sedal, you got Fado. So that's. That's a hell of a jackpot right there. So shall we start?
Jeff
We shall.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Good morning, Chris. You are on Q100.
Jeff

Caller
Hi, this is Ileana.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Hi, Iliana. Where are you right now that you're beeping when you back up?
Caller
I actually just got into an accident.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Oh, what.
Caller
What happened? I better win.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Seriously, like, what happened?
Caller
I just. Traffic on East West Connector.
Wendy

Caller
Thanks.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Thank you.
Caller
Bye.
Jeff
Bye.
Jen
She is not in the maze.
Wendy
I feel like we should have been more help to her.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Well, I feel like she. If I was her, I probably would have hung up before we even picked up. She's like, no, I know. I'm getting all those prizes. Here is Andy. Good morning, Andy. You are on Q100.
Caller
Hi.

Jen
She's upset about the last call you got in Iraq.
Caller
I'm a little upset for her.
Jen
Yeah, I.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Maybe you were the other person in the wreck.
Caller
Oh, hell, no.
Wendy
In the really far background, you hear the beeping?
Caller
No.
Okay, I have Brody Jenner, 50 Cent,
Russell Brand, Stuart Townsend, and Colin Farrell.

Jen
You can do all kinds of things on the show, but you cannot.
