Guys, thanks for helping me carry my Christmas tree.
Drew Ski
Zoey, this thing weighs a ton.
Host (possibly Burt)
Drew Ski, lift with your legs, man.
Santa
Santa.
Host (possibly Burt)
Santa, did you get my letter?
Drew Ski
He's talking to you, britches.
Host (possibly Burt)
I'm not.
Zoey
Of course he did.
Host (possibly Burt)
Right, Santa, you know my elf, Drew Ski here. He handles the nice list.
Drew Ski
And elf, I'm six' three. What everyone wants is iPhone 17 and at T Mobile. You can get it on them. That center stage front camera is amazing for group selfies, right, Mrs. Claus?
Zoey
Hi, Mrs. Claus. Claus, much younger sister. And AT T Mobile, there's no trade in needed when you switch, so you can keep your old phone or give.
Host (possibly Burt)
It as a gift.
Zoey
And the best part, you can make the switch to T mobile from your phone in just 15 minutes.
Maggie
Nice.
Drew Ski
My side of the tree is slipping.
Host (possibly Burt)

Host (possibly Burt)
Get paid on the spot so fast you'll wonder what the catch is.

The Burt Show Morning. All the hits. Q100. Hello.
Maggie
How are you guys doing?
Host (possibly Burt)
Good. Who's this?
Maggie
This is Maggie.
Host (possibly Burt)
Maggie?
Maggie
Mm.
Host (possibly Burt)
What's going on, Maggie?
Maggie
I guess I need your advice. I need to know basically if my marriage is over.
Host (possibly Burt)
Yes, it is. Thank you for calling.
Phil
What?
Host (possibly Burt)
What do you mean?
Kind of an uncomfortable silence there.
Vicki
That's not funny.
Host (possibly Burt)
How would I know if it's over or not? Go ahead.
Maggie
My husband and I, we got into a fight the other night.
You know, it was a stupid fight, and we just went round and round with each other, and, you know, we just kept yelling. And then the words came out of his mouth. They were, this just proves that you're too immature to be married. And at that point, he Left. He left the house. He's been staying with his mom, with his parents and I don't know, I mean, that's kind of a strong thing to say. I need, I need to know if that really indicates how he feels about our marriage.
Santa
What was your argument about?
Maggie
You know, it was stupid. I traded in my Jeep Cherokee for a two door Mustang and we've been talking about, you know, getting ready to have a family and you know, of course finances are tight because, you know, we're pretty newly married. And he just thought that was a really stupid decision on my part to trade in, you know, to trade in a car because of finances, but also because, you know, he wanted to have the room and a car in case we decided to start a family.
Host (possibly Burt)
How long have you guys been married?
Maggie
Four months.
Host (possibly Burt)
Four months. Now, my guess is like, this isn't the first thing you've ever done like this to make him make a statement like that. Because you don't say that on the first, the first mess up. You know what I'm saying?
Santa
Good point.
Vicki
Have you had big fights before? Should be hard to remember the past 120 days.
Maggie
Not like this. I mean, he really, he likes. He blew up.
Santa
Well, what possessed you to go buy or trade in a car without consulting him?
Maggie
I guess I just wasn't thinking. I didn't think it was a big deal. I, you know, I don't know, I just didn't think it was a big deal.
Santa
If he had done the same thing would have been a big deal to you?
Maggie
It probably would have. Now, in hindsight I can, I see that, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't end my marriage over it.
Vicki
And when you say he left, he went where? And how much has he been in touch?
Maggie
Well, he went to his family, which, you know, is embarrassing within itself because now I feel like obviously his whole family knows that we're having this fight. Like, you know, basically now we're all of a sudden having marriage problems and his whole family knows about it.
I have heard from him very little. You know, he's called to sort of check in on me, but it's not been.
It'S not been like, you know, we're husband and wife.
Host (possibly Burt)
And the sentence that's bothering you so much is this just proves that you're too immature to be married.
Maggie
To be married. Yeah. I mean, is that how he's felt all along and it's just now coming out? I just think that's a strong statement to say during, you know, people say.
Host (possibly Burt)
Things in the heat of an argument I was telling these guys. Just a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I got into a debate about religion and how we were gonna raise our son. And at one point she said, had I known this about you, I would have never married you. You know? And then a couple of weeks later, she says, you know what? You say things in the heat of the moment that you really don't mean. Of course she didn't move out of the house.
Vicki
But see, that's the thing. He's been gone. It wasn't just a fleeting thought.
Maggie
Yeah, he's been gone, but he's shown no sign of being unhappy within the marriage.
Host (possibly Burt)
So what are you looking for here? Just to kind of. Does that sentence really mean that the relationship is over? Is that what you're looking for?
Maggie
I guess I'm looking for that. I'm looking for advice on what I should do. How can I get him home? I don't know. Yeah, I guess that's my most important question.
Host (possibly Burt)
Does that sentence really mean that the marriage is over? This proves that you're too immature to be married.
Santa
You know what I think the best advice would be to look back at a Hugh Grant movie. Can't remember the name of it right now, but when he drove up in that station wagon, she knew he was ready to start having a family. Do you remember that one?
Host (possibly Burt)
I can't remember the name of the movie. No Hobby.
Vicki
Did you see it when you were on acid?
Santa
No. Okay. It's with Andie McDowell's in it.
Host (possibly Burt)
It's Hobbyville we're talking about. There's no acid, just aspirin.
Vicki
The chewable St. Joseph's kind, little Flintstones.
Host (possibly Burt)
Hey, Vicky.
Vicki
Nine months.
Host (possibly Burt)
Vicky?
Maggie
Yes?
Host (possibly Burt)
Yeah. Can you help Maggie out here?
Maggie
Well, you know, it's hard being married. I've been married 10 years. But it's. Whenever you have a fight like that, you have to be willing to talk about it. And the fact that he has basically moved out for the time being and is not willing to discuss it maybe shows he's a little immature, too. So don't beat yourself up too much about being immature, because he's showing a little immaturity, too, and you guys need to talk.
Host (possibly Burt)
This is how women turn this stuff around. This is exactly how it happens. This is a blueprint for you guys listening right now.
Vicki
And wouldn't people say that he was being more mature rather than standing there and continuing to fight? He left and he's cooling off like.
Host (possibly Burt)
His mad thinking on this.
Santa
Yeah, I. I don't think mature is going to mommy and daddy's house and bringing them into the whole argument.
Vicki
We're not getting the whole story from.
Host (possibly Burt)
Maggie because there had to be more than. I agree with that.
Vicki
A lot more than this.
Host (possibly Burt)
Hey, Vicki, do you think that actual sentence right there. This is why you've just proven that you're too immature to be married means that it's the end of the relationship.
Maggie
No, people say things when they're mad, you know, but again, you gotta talk.
Host (possibly Burt)
Yeah. Yeah. All right. Hey, Marie.
Maggie
I wanted to say that maybe if she has a good relationship with his mom, maybe she can call him. If she can't get in touch with him, because it seems like he's being a little immature as well.
Vicki
That's the call of shame right there.
Maggie
If he cares about his marriage, then he'll contact her. If he. If he's as immature as she is, then she may have to go to his mom if she really cares about the relationship.
Host (possibly Burt)
See, we've got a rule in our house where we just do not allow the family in on those kind of. The outside family.
Santa
Yeah.
Host (possibly Burt)
Or even the immediate family in on those kind of arguments.
Maggie
Well, I normally wouldn't either, but he's at his parents house, and if that's the only way she can get in touch with him, she needs to talk to him directly. And if she can get to him through his mom and maybe get her to get him to talk to her, then I think.
Vicki
How did that become a rule in your house, Just out of curiosity?
Host (possibly Burt)
You know what? I'm not exactly sure, but I think maybe we were talking about another couple that handled it the same way and we just. Just came to an agreement. Really? It's not like you. You. You start a conversation that way.
Vicki
Because I would never even have the thought to call one of Jessica's parents about.
Host (possibly Burt)
I don't think it's that. No, no, that's not the part. It would be like. The agreement is that Stacy won't go to her dad or her mom when she and I are having some problems.
Vicki
Okay.
Maggie
But I'm afraid that will make him more angry if I. If I go to his parents.
Santa
Maggie, I think my advice for you would be you need to really sit down and pinpoint what are the other immature decisions that you've made or what are those decisions that he thinks are immature and kind of put together a list of them. I agree with him that trading in the car without even consulting him about it was immature. I don't think it should ruin your marriage. I mean, I Certainly don't think you guys should get a divorce over it. But I think that you need to take some steps, not just words, but actions, to correct that, to save your marriage. You've got to go trade in that car and go get a station wagon, go get that Jeep Cherokee back. Because actions are gonna speak louder than words if you try to go over there and take him out of his parents house and try to save your marriage.
Host (possibly Burt)
I want to focus on that sentence, though. Do you think that that sentence means that he's done with the relationship? Like that was his breaking point?
Santa
No.
Maggie
So that was just in the heat of the moment he said that. And you think that this was the end?
Vicki
I disagree. I think it's over.
Santa
You do?
Vicki
He went back to his parents house. I guarantee you there's a string of stuff happening. He's done with it, game over. And if he comes back, why? You don't know that.
Santa
After four months.
Maggie
After four months, I just think that you fight for a marriage. You talk out the things that you think are not, you know, I'm willing to.
See, okay, what I've been irrational about and everything.
Host (possibly Burt)
Hey, Rebecca.
Maggie
Hi.
Host (possibly Burt)
Can you help out here?
Maggie
I just feel so bad for you right now. I mean, you guys are so newly into this marriage and you have obviously a lot of things that you're trying to deal with. And the fact that you're calling up and asking for help I think is a really good sign. But I mean, you've got to talk and he's got to be willing to talk to you. But like everybody's been saying, you've really got to take a look at whatever it is that has gotten you to this point that would make him say something like that. I mean, that's obviously an emotion that's been pent up in him that just came out when things got heated. You've got to look back, you've got to figure out what it is. And you guys, I mean, you made that step, you got married, so obviously you love each other. You've got to get past this and you've got to figure out what it is you need to do together as a couple to stay together in the long term.
Host (possibly Burt)
Do you think in his mind that that statement that he made really means that the relationship's done?
Maggie
I don't think so. I mean, you know, especially with how newly. Newlywed they are. He's angry and he's just.
Santa
Can I call you when I need advice? That's really good.
Host (possibly Burt)
Thanks for calling.
Maggie
All right.
Host (possibly Burt)
And Justin, you're on all the hits. Q100.
Maggie
I just think there's more to it than what she's saying, because there wasn't. He wouldn't just get up and leave that fast.
Vicki
I mean, that's my thing.
Maggie
I just really think there's more to it than what she's saying.
Vicki
Has he ever said to you, Maggie, that if this happens again, I'm leaving? Like, has he ever given you an ultimatum and said you have to stop doing this?
Maggie
No, never.
Santa
Do you run up the credit card bills?
Maggie
No. I mean, like any typical girl, I'll go shopping and, you know, he'll roll his eyes at stuff that I buy. But no, we've never really had any huge problems.
Host (possibly Burt)
Yeah, I wouldn't say that this thing's over. I mean, he made a statement, I think, maybe in the heat of the fight, but you gotta do something to rectify this.
Maggie
Well, and I'm trying to, but I just feel like he's not willing to even talk at this point.
Host (possibly Burt)
Is that too a word for you?
Vicki
It's just a funny word.
Host (possibly Burt)
Rectify.
Santa
Sorry.
T-Mobile Announcer
Oh, no.
Host (possibly Burt)
I'll try to keep it one simple for you. Hold on a second.
Vicki
Just say fix it.
Host (possibly Burt)
Yeah. I think there are two conversations you guys have to have. A, you gotta fix this. And the second one is, and I think you got a really valid point here also, is that the way he handled it isn't acceptable. I mean, if you guys are gonna be together forever, this guy can't run home to Mommy and Daddy every time y' all have a problem.
Maggie
Exactly.
Host (possibly Burt)
So I think that's pretty valid.
Santa
Yeah, I absolutely do, too. The husband and wife have got to figure it out with each other before anybody else even knows about it. You can talk about it after it's been resolved, but not during the heat of the argument, you know?
Host (possibly Burt)
Nuh. You can't go to Mommy or Daddy because they're always gonna side with you.
Santa
Right?
Host (possibly Burt)
I mean, you're their baby. You do no wrong. Come on.
Maggie
So I need to really address that statement with him. I need to say to him this. Okay, what proves that I'm too immature? Let's talk about this.
Host (possibly Burt)
Yeah, I guess. I mean, if you don't see the history behind it. Yeah, I guess so.
Maggie
Okay.
Host (possibly Burt)
Okay, I'm gonna call. Are you gonna talk to him over the weekend?
Maggie
I'm gonna try to. I'm gonna try to get in touch with him. Of course.
Host (possibly Burt)
Cause I'd like to talk to you Monday and find out if that really meant that this was over in his eyes. Or if it was just the heat of the moment.
Maggie
Okay.
Santa
If you do get in touch with him, do you think he'd come on with us?
Maggie
I don't know. I mean, it depends on how our talk goes. I think so. I mean, he listens to you guys all the time. I would think he wouldn't have a problem with that. He's open about stuff.
Host (possibly Burt)
Doesn't sound like it.
Maggie
I don't know.
Host (possibly Burt)
Well, let's catch up with you on Monday.
Vicki
We wouldn't want to upset him and send him up to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Host (possibly Burt)
Let's talk to you again on Monday.
Maggie
All right. Thanks so much for your advice.
Host (possibly Burt)
All right. Sorry you have to go through this. This sucks. When you're married and you're going through one of these right here, it screws up everything, man. I totally know where you're coming from.
Maggie
Thank you.
Phil
Bye.
Host (possibly Burt)
Bye. The Burt show.
Guys.
Zoey
Thanks for helping me carry my Christmas tree, Zoe.

Drew Ski
He's talking to you, Bridges.
Host (possibly Burt)
I'm not.
Zoey
Of course he did.
Host (possibly Burt)
Right, Santa, you know my elf, Drew Ski here. He handles the nice list and elf.

T-Mobile Announcer
Is it just me or has watching TV gotten way too complicated? There's a million different services and just too many bills to keep track of. Thankfully, there's Philo. A better way to TV. For as low as 33 bucks a month, I get the channels I love. MTV, BET, Food Network, you name it. Plus everything that AMC has to offer. And guess what? They've added access to HBO Max Basic with ads, plan and Discovery plus so I can enjoy all the best TV with one subscription. There are no contracts, no surprise fees, just one low price. And their DVR is awesome too. I can save everything I love on Philo for up to a year and skip the ads when I rewatch them. A total game changer. I signed up directly at Philo tv. That's P H I L O tv so I could lock in the best price around. Philo's the easiest decision I've ever made. Now the hard one is trying to decide what to binge next.
Host (possibly Burt)
Phil Turan is in here because he has continued a segment that we absolutely stole right from MTV called Boiling Point. Now, Boiling Point is a new hidden camera show on MTV that puts people in really awkward situations and then kind of has a time clock on the bottom of the screen. And if the person that they have put into this really tough situation loses it before a certain amount of time, they get cash, right?
Phil
Give them $100 cash right then and there.
Host (possibly Burt)
If they don't, if they're nice throughout.
Phil
The day, if they keep their cool.
Host (possibly Burt)
All right, our boiling point is a little bit different. Explain how our boiling point works.
Phil
We have to kind of do it a little bit different because it. When you have obvious. You can kind of see their reaction and kind of see them getting frustrated and ticked off. Well, I do the same thing, but I kind of have to edit mine a little bit different because, you know, dead silence of me and you know, the Boiling Point contestant, if you will, staring at each other doesn't translate very well on radio. That just equals dead air. So last week we did it and I took a.
Host (possibly Burt)
Don't get the premise yet.
Phil
I was gonna tell you what I did last week.
Host (possibly Burt)
You mean the one before we're gonna roll with right now?
Phil
Yeah, the one that we did last week.
Host (possibly Burt)
Go ahead.
Phil
Okay. Last week I took a. Because Melissa wasn't here. Took a two year old baby into a tanning bed.
To see if the girl would let me let him tan. And sure enough, after about seven minutes, she said no.
Santa
Phil told her that the baby was going on a photo shoot, so he needed to bronze him up a little bit.
Phil
So I. Yeah, the quote, unquote, the boiling point moment was to get her to call the police on me. And sure enough, she threatened to call the police. And that's when she reached that market. Seven minutes.
Santa
All right.
Host (possibly Burt)
Okay, so we'll find a listener to play this time around. Phil will tell them the scenario that he put one unsuspecting person in, and you'll give three potential outcomes.
Phil
I'll give you three scenarios. One is true. The other two are false. And if I'm correct here, if you obviously get the true one, then you've won the collateral. Movie passes.
Host (possibly Burt)
You got it. Hi, Lorraine.
Maggie
Hey, Phil. What's happening, sweetheart?
Vicki
Hey, Lorraine.
Phil
How are you?
Maggie
Hey, guys.
Host (possibly Burt)
Hi. Good morning. Do you guys know each other?
Phil
Apparently we do. How's the family?
Host (possibly Burt)
He sounds so chummy.
Maggie
Phil. Hey, Phil. It's Lolo.
Santa
Lolo.
Host (possibly Burt)
Yeah.
Maggie
Hey, guys.
Phil
He's a frequent listener, calls all the time.
Host (possibly Burt)
Hi, Lolo. And you know how this is gonna work now?
Maggie
Brief me again.
Host (possibly Burt)
Go ahead.
Phil
Okay, Lorraine, what I'm gonna do is I will give you the scenario, which is. I'll go ahead and tell you now, on this one, I titled this bowling point competitive treadmill guy, where I went into a gym, took my position on a treadmill right next to a. Unfortunately, the only two treadmills available where there was one empty was next to an absolutely gorgeous young lady who was just briskly walking. And I took my position right next to her, and I decided to be that guy who wanted to race her.
And at one point, and you'll hear this a couple of times, I reach over and try to speed up her treadmill.
Host (possibly Burt)
Don't you guys get like this? When you're on a treadmill in a gym and you're next to somebody, aren't you constantly peeking over to see how fast they're going and what incline they're at? And then you start to get all competitive in your head about it. And if they're going at a 5, 6, you got to be at a 5, 8.
Santa
People will compete for any. I mean, it doesn't matter what it's going on. You will. You are always competitive.
Host (possibly Burt)
All right, so the situation is you at gym, woman next to you, she's on a treadmill. Also, she's doing her thing. What are the three Possible outcomes.
Phil
Three possible outcomes of this competitive treadmill guy. I fall off the treadmill, she gets a muscle head. She gets mad at me and goes to get a musclehead who escorts me out of the gym. Or three, she just walks off and ignores me completely.
Maggie
Okay, so I picked number two, the musclehead.
Phil
She gets frustrated, goes and gets a muscle head, and he escorts me off the property.
Host (possibly Burt)
All right, Lorraine. Okay, let's all listen together.
Phil
How you doing?
Santa
Good.
T-Mobile Announcer
How are you?
Maggie
Great.
Phil
Three, two. Is that how fast you're going? Yeah, I'm up to 3, 7.
I'm going faster than you.
3 8.
You can go faster if you want to.
Maggie
I think I'm okay.
Phil
Three, nine. Let's try and catch up.
Santa
Okay.
Phil
Oh, I'm at four.
Four two. I'm going a mile faster than you. A whole mile, an hour faster.
Host (possibly Burt)
Come on.
Phil
Why don't you try and catch up?
You could use it. Come on.
Host (possibly Burt)
Oh, really?
Phil
Go to 3, 8. Just get close to me. I'm at 4T. You try to get to 3, 8. See, I've already burned 30 calories. How much have you burned?
Maggie
Really?
Santa
Not sure.
Phil
Did you have a big lunch today?
Santa
Not really.
Phil
Wondering why you're working out so hard. Are you going to the beach soon?
Maggie
No.
Phil
Looks like you're pushing yourself harder than you should. Trying to lose some weight.
Host (possibly Burt)
No.
Phil
Most people try at the beginning of the summer, not the end. Don't worry about it. The longer you stay on, the more you'll lose. So you probably want to stay on for a while.
You know what'll help? You know what'll help? If you speed up.
Santa
I'm really happy with the 3A.
Phil
Here, I'll help you. Hold on. You push this. You push this right there. That was me. See, you're closer. Do you feel better already?
Vicki
Are you pushing her as well?
Phil
Now you're out of breath. Are you a smoker?
Maggie
No.
Phil
You sound like you are.
Santa
Oh, my God.
Phil
I'm still going faster than you, though.
Santa
Dude, I'm really not here to run.
Maggie
So I'm just gonna take it down a little bit. Okay.
Phil
I've noticed you slowed down, so I'm just gonna speed you up just a little bit.
Santa
Oh.
Host (possibly Burt)
Oh.
Phil
All right.
And that, my friends, is me falling on my ass.
Did you really? So you were reaching over and you lost your footing? I was reaching over to speed hers up, and I lost my balance. Cause the damn treadmill was going so fast. I fell on my ass. And the noise. You getting up. I fell right on my elbow. I get up and the noise you hear is me grabbing the microphone. I had it propped up on the treadmill, and I'm just like, I have to stop it right there. And I look at her and granted, this went on for about five minutes, and I just look at her and I go, I'm Phil from the Virtual hours recording you. Is that okay? And she's like, yeah. And I walk out of the gym right there.
Vicki
I've always wanted to meet a guy who fell off a treadmill.
Host (possibly Burt)
Sorry, Lorraine, you didn't win.
Maggie
Okay, guys, thank you.
Host (possibly Burt)
Thanks for playing.
Phil
Bye. Bye. Okay, I've noticed you slowed down, so I'm just gonna speed you up just a little bit.
Santa
Oh.
Phil
Oh.
Vicki
All right.
Phil
The bird show.
Host (possibly Burt)
Guys.
Zoey
Thanks for helping me carry my Christmas tree, Zoe.
Drew Ski

Host (possibly Burt)

Drew Ski
He's talking to you, Bridges.
Host (possibly Burt)
I'm not that.
Zoey
Of course he did.
Host (possibly Burt)
Right, Santa, you know my elf Drew Ski here. He handles the nice list.
Drew Ski

(Starts ~01:35)
Maggie’s Predicament:
Maggie calls in seeking the show's advice after her husband leaves following an argument. The fight's spark? She traded in their Jeep Cherokee for a two-door Mustang—despite their plans to start a family and recent financial concerns.
“My husband and I, we got into a fight…He just thought that was a really stupid decision on my part…he wanted to have the room in a car in case we decided to start a family.” (02:05-02:12)
Why He Left:
Her husband, angered by the decision and feeling she acted immaturely, said:
"This just proves that you're too immature to be married."
He’s since moved out, staying with his parents, and barely communicates with Maggie.
Show’s Immediate Reactions:
Digging Deeper into the Fight:
The hosts and callers question whether this is truly a one-off incident or the “last straw” in a string of grievances.
The conversation pivots to whether involving family is mature:
Memorable Quote:
"I think there are two conversations you guys have to have. A, you gotta fix this. And the second one is…if you guys are gonna be together forever, this guy can't run home to Mommy and Daddy every time y’ all have a problem."

Show Explanation:
Phil brings a version of MTV’s “Boiling Point” to the radio, putting people in awkward public situations to see how long it takes them to snap.
“Competitive Treadmill Guy” Scenario:
Phil sets up beside a woman at the gym and attempts to “race” her, not-so-subtly speeding up her treadmill and commenting on her workout.
Outcome:
Phil falls off the treadmill spectacularly—ending the prank.
Memorable Quote:
“I’ve always wanted to meet a guy who fell off a treadmill.”
