Episode Overview

This episode of The Bert Show dives deep into the complexities of romantic relationships—specifically focusing on why people stay in relationships with partners they may no longer like but still find attractive or sexually satisfying. The hosts and callers discuss the gender differences in enduring unsatisfying relationships for physical reasons, the bragging rights that come from dating someone conventionally "hot," and how this dynamic plays out differently for men and women. In the latter half, the conversation pivots to intimacy in marriage after childbirth, exploring the effects of witnessing childbirth on sexual desire and discussing open communication between partners.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. How Long Do You Stay With Someone Just Because They're Hot?

[01:00-10:12]

• Bert introduces the topic by wondering how long men stay with women they're not mentally interested in, just because the physical side is good. He says, “A guy will stay in a relationship with somebody that is hot … way longer than you think he can.” (Bert, 02:21)
• Lindell shares her boyfriend’s wisdom: "Hot will get you through the first date, but that's about it." Bert disagrees, believing men can last much longer if the chemistry is right.
• Carl and Melissa debate: Carl jokes that women will also stick it out if the man is rich, while Melissa claims women have a shorter tolerance for empty relationships unless there’s financial security.

Notable Quotes:

• “[Men] will stay in a relationship ... way longer than you think we can.” – Bert (02:46)
• “Women will stay if he’s rich.” – Carl (03:53)
• “We just want you to speak to us. That's it.” – Lindell (02:13)

Callers Share:

• Nick: Stayed four months in a relationship just for the physical appeal, even after being annoyed within a few weeks. (05:05)
• Lauren (female caller): With a man for seven months mostly due to attraction, despite thinking he’s “so dumb.” (06:13)
• Scott: Stayed for three and a half years with a partner who annoyed him after three months—“She was a freak.” (06:42, 07:00)
• Mike: Four and a half years in a relationship where the attraction and sex kept him in despite emotional dissatisfaction. (08:16)

Gender Contrast:

• Bert and co-hosts discuss that men often stick around for the physical perks, while women may return for “size” or find themselves similarly stuck—but usually have more emotional needs or alternative motivations like wealth or status.

2. The Impact of Childbirth on Intimacy

[13:13–24:15]

Caller Emily’s Dilemma:

• Emily calls in, explaining that her husband has not wanted sex since witnessing the birth of their baby six months ago. She worries he’s traumatized by the experience and wonders what to do.

Hosts’ and Callers’ Experiences:

• Bert: Shares that watching his children’s births didn’t affect his desire, but knows men who were “traumatized” by seeing childbirth up close.
  • “He couldn’t shake the image out of his head … for six months after.” – Bert about his friend (16:36)
• Melissa: Affirms that for some men, the biology of childbirth can be jarring and affect attraction.
• Caller Ashley: Echoes Emily’s experience, saying her husband struggled with sexual attraction after seeing childbirth, and communication helped them through it. (16:57)
• Caller Scott: Reassures Emily that her husband will likely recover and emphasizes patience. “He saw things he shouldn't have seen … You have to be patient with him.” (18:21)
• Lindell and Carl comment on generational change—men used to wait outside, now they're present for the whole process, which can cause unexpected issues. (21:02)

Psychological Insights:

• The group discusses how witnessing childbirth can turn something sexual into something purely functional, and how important honest (but tactful) conversation is.
• Bert and others stress that if a man is struggling with weight gain during pregnancy or post-birth body changes, he should never, ever tell his wife—“Take that to the grave.” (23:19)

Notable Quotes:

• “There is no gentle and nurturing way to say that.” – Bert on men sharing negative feelings about post-birth bodies (23:48)
• “You better never share that. Never, never, never.” – Bert (23:19)
• “Guys can really work around almost anything in order to get sex.” – Bert (22:39)
• “He’s got nobody to talk to about this, really. The only person he has to talk to is you.” – Bert (22:11)

---

Memorable Moments

• Bragging Rights: Several male callers cite keeping attractive partners for the ego boost and status: “Bragging rights and definitely the extras that came along with it.” – Caller Mike (08:53)
• Melissa quips: “Just shh. Sit right there and look good. Just don't talk.” (03:47)
• Bert’s advice for men unsure about their feelings post-childbirth: “Lie, gentlemen, lie.” (24:15)

[Carl]

Are you really buying a car online on Autotrader right now?

[Melissa]

Really?

[Carl]

At a playground?

[Melissa]

Yeah, really. Look at these listings from dealers. Wow.

[Carl]

Your search can really get that specific.

[Melissa]

Really?

[Carl]

And you just put in your info and boom. Cars in your budget.

[Bert]

Mom needs a second. Honey, you can really have it delivered.

[Melissa]

Really? Or I can pick it up at the dealership. One sec, sweetie.

[Bert]

Mommy's buying a car.

[Carl]

Mommy, look. I think kid is walking up the slide.

[Melissa]

Kyle again?

[Carl]

Really?

[Melissa]

Auto trader. Buy your car online? Really?

[Bert]

The Bird show yesterday, me and Lyndall and producer Sean were all sitting in the studio. Carl, hang out for this one here. And they were saying yesterday how impressed they were with Jen Hobby for coming strong to Sean William Scott.

[Carl]

Okay.

[Bert]

How she has all this game and stuff.

[Melissa]

Asking him out.

[Bert]

Asking him out.

[Melissa]

Okay.

[Bert]

And not to put you down or anything. And I said, you know what? Game is relative. Like Sean Williams, Scott has seen Jen Hobby before. And he even said yesterday, thought she was hot. Thought she was a. Remembered her and remembered her. Yes. So game is relative. She didn't. When you're hot, you don't need to have game. You just need to be hot or. And that's it.

[Melissa]

I don't necessarily agree.

[Bert]

I'm gonna try to explain this to you from a guy's standpoint here, Carl. So we went on to.

[Lindell]

Because the girls are woman first.

[Melissa]

Like, Jeff is out. Carl, I need.

[Bert]

Carl, I need some testosterone.

[Melissa]

Jeff is out today.

[Bert]

If I am the symbol of testosterone in the studio today, we're in trouble.

[Lindell]

Got your back, bro.

[Bert]

So a woman really doesn't need to have any game at all. At least at first. All you gotta do is say hi, and that's it. If you're hot, that's all a guy needs to hear.

[Lindell]

We just want you to speak to us. That's it.

[Carl]

That's it.

[Bert]

You don't need game. So the conversation sort of evolved and. And Lindell said that her boyfriend had once told her that hot will get you through the first date, but that's about it. And I stopped Lindell and I said, I don't necessarily agree. With that. Either that a guy will stay in a relationship with somebody that is hot and somebody that is good in important areas before state 30.

[Carl]

Yes.

[Bert]

If you know what I'm talking about. Yes. Way longer than you think he can.

[Lindell]

Way longer.

[Bert]

And this is what I want to ask guys this morning to prove my point. How long have you stayed in a relationship with a woman that you weren't mentally into at all? In fact, she bugged you. You wanted. You wanted out of the relationship. You were sort of just waiting to get out of the relationship, but she was so hot. And that part of the relationship, wink, wink. You know what I'm talking about, Was so good that you stayed. You stayed way longer than you thought you were going to. Are we talking about days? Are we talking about weeks? Or are we talking about, in my case with Chandra, an entire year? Wow. One year. We will stay in those relationships or until the.

[Lindell]

The woman actually tells you to leave. Like, all right, you're getting on my nerves. I'm hanging around.

[Melissa]

See, I don't think that women would have the staying power, because there are, you know, I mean, there are certainly guys that are hot enough that you could date for a while and be like, just shh. Don't talk.

[Bert]

Right?

[Melissa]

Just shh. Sit right there and just look good. Just don't talk. But I think that women could only do that for maybe a month.

[Carl]

Unless he's rich. Unless he's rich. Oh, women will stay if he's rich.

[Bert]

Well, that's true, you guys. I mean, we've talked about this switch that you all have.

[Melissa]

Young women will be able to do

[Bert]

that that you guys have that guys don't have, because maybe this does go both ways. Now, I think about it. I think you're right, that that gear that y' all have to be with Hugh Hefner, that you're not attracted to in any way, shape, or form, but the dude is worth a billion dollars. So you will, just, when the lights are off, do what you got to do just to get to that cash.

[Lindell]

I didn't know that y' all had that in you.

[Bert]

Women have it in them.

[Carl]

Yeah, women for sure.

[Bert]

Look at all these dudes walking around town that are all.

[Carl]

Look how ugly some of the men are out there that women are with. It's not. It's not because.

[Lindell]

But women are so emotional. They just seem to fall in love with the guy. So sweet.

[Melissa]

When a guy makes a girl comfortable, it doesn't matter.

[Bert]

It's all Texas exact.

[Carl]

That's what we tell you to make you destroy your ego.

[Bert]

But today, Today I want to. Today I want to educate the women. Like this. This does go both ways, because guys will stay in a relationship and they are so annoyed by you, they don't like you anymore. But you're so hot. And that part of the relationship is so good, we're gonna stick around longer than you think we can. Hey, Nick. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller Male 1]

Hey, how's it going?

[Bert]

Good, how are you?

[Caller Male 1]

Good.

[Caller Female 1]

Yeah.

[Caller Male 1]

Four months.

[Bert]

Four months. She started driving you crazy. How long into that? Four months?

[Caller Male 1]

Weeks.

[Bert]

Couple weeks. Two or three weeks.

[Caller Male 1]

She was so hot. And my friends just adored me for just having that.

[Carl]

That's where the.

[Caller Male 1]

I let her walk all over me for four months.

[Carl]

That's when he. Because I thought that when Bert said about him, you know, her being hot

[Melissa]

or whatever, I thought.

[Carl]

Because it's bragging rights for the guy,

[Melissa]

and the women know it, too. There's a Beyonce song called Upgrade you. She's like, let me upgrade you.

[Bert]

Right?

[Caller Female 1]

Yeah.

[Melissa]

Women know it.

[Bert]

Women know that guys are bugged by you, but they're keeping you around just because you're hot.

[Melissa]

Well, women will. They'll know if they are upgrading their guy.

[Lindell]

Right. You all make us look better.

[Bert]

Oh, I see what you're saying.

[Lindell]

If it's a trophy type of woman,

[Melissa]

you're like the upgrade for the dude, for the bad looking dude. Right. Like, I know all your friends are going, how in the hell did you score that?

[Bert]

Yeah, I know. My friends are still saying that about my wife.

[Melissa]

Right.

[Lindell]

That's another few more years right there.

[Melissa]

They're saying that about Stacy and Jessica for years.

[Bert]

I've been doing it for 11 years. Good morning, Lauren. You're on Q100.

[Caller Female 2]

Yes. I've actually been with mine for seven months now.

[Carl]

Seven months now.

[Bert]

This is from a woman. And you're not attracted to him at all?

[Caller Female 2]

No, I am very attracted, but he's just so dumb. I mean, everything is great. It's just there's these times when I'm like, why am I with him?

[Caller Female 1]

Why?

[Caller Female 2]

And really, the only reason is because he is.

[Caller Male 2]

Yeah.

[Bert]

You think that's good? Guys, can we. They can crush you.

[Lindell]

Oh, yeah.

[Bert]

Scott, good morning.

[Caller Male 1]

Yeah, good morning.

[Bert]

Hey, how long are we talking about here?

[Caller Male 1]

Three and a half years.

[Bert]

And you started to get annoyed by her? How long into the relationship?

[Caller Male 1]

I'm gonna say two to three months into it.

[Melissa]

How can you stay with her?

[Bert]

I don't get it.

[Caller Male 1]

She was a freak.

[Caller Female 1]

And she was freaky.

[Melissa]

Dicky guys are weird.

[Bert]

That is a combination. Freaky, freaky hot will keep us around

[Melissa]

for a long time.

[Lindell]

That's all we need. That's all we want.

[Melissa]

Melissa, do you think I can say what I wrote?

[Carl]

Yeah, you can.

[Bert]

What I want to know.

[Melissa]

I have a couple girlfriends who would say girls can stick around for size too.

[Bert]

Oh, really?

[Lindell]

Yeah. I've heard women talk about, like, things like that.

[Melissa]

True story. Like, I should have left a while

[Bert]

ago, but he was so.

[Melissa]

A couple marriages that made the relationship last a little bit longer.

[Carl]

Take a picture and put it in a frame. There he is.

[Bert]

Isn't the difference here, though, between women and men, especially in the case that you just said, like, you don't have to be with that guy to keep going back to that where a guy, I think, feels like we gotta hold on to it because she's not gonna keep giving us that one area that we really dig a lot.

[Melissa]

I don't know.

[Lindell]

We never wanna give ours up, though. You know, you're mine. Like, if. If I were with you, you're gonna be mine to the next at least few years till I get another one in my mind.

[Bert]

And you're looking for a better combination.

[Lindell]

Exactly.

[Bert]

Of hot and freaky.

[Lindell]

Freaky.

[Bert]

And sometimes it takes you four years to get there. Good morning, Mike, here on Q100I.

[Caller Male 2]

Hey, good morning, guys.

[Bert]

Go ahead. What's happening, man?

[Caller Male 2]

Hey, man. Four and a half years.

[Bert]

Four and a half years.

[Carl]

That's how they say it. He sounds miserable.

[Bert]

Miserable.

[Caller Male 2]

It was awesome times, but at the end, it wasn't. It wasn't true.

[Bert]

And I'll tell you what. You're in that relationship and it's so bad. You feel. You feel like you're in jail. It's. It's like Shishank, and you can't get out. You're in Shishank and you're looking for a way out. But she's so hot and she's so freaky deaky. The warden won't let you out.

[Caller Male 2]

I mean, you got to stick around. Like I always say, bragging rights. And definitely the extras that came along with it. Definitely worth it. I gotta find some truth.

[Carl]

I'm sure women would want to know now what it. What makes. Like, what's the difference in the women that you propose to?

[Caller Male 2]

The biggest difference actually has to be no looks. Like, not. Not so much the looks and not so much the extras, but just the time and the connection between the two. You know, the time that y' all have. And y' all really have to have some kind of chemistry. For that to work. But there's no way that. There's no way that I feel that anybody could get together with somebody just because of looks and just because of the extras and be in a relationship for, you know, 50 years.

[Bert]

Now, how long Did I gotta ask you the same question? Cause you said this was, what, four and a half years? How long into the relationship she starts just annoying you to no end?

[Caller Male 2]

It was definitely within the first six months. It definitely ain't no way.

[Bert]

First six months.

[Melissa]

Can you just not go out and find another hot chick?

[Bert]

Sometimes they're so hot and so freaky, you just think, you know what? I'm gonna ride. I can't do any better right now.

[Melissa]

Another one. There's one. There's gotta be another one.

[Lindell]

You know what? I've heard guys talk like that. Something that's gauged, that gauges them to ask the woman to marry them is how long it takes for them to irk the nerves. Like a partner of mine, it took.

[Carl]

He's.

[Lindell]

He's mentioned that it's taken his girl, his wife, now about two years into the relationship before he was really irked, he knew she was the one. As opposed to two months.

[Melissa]

Marry that one.

[Carl]

She gets on my nerves now, but it's been two years, so. Here's the ring, baby.

[Bert]

All right. Women want in on this also. Go ahead, Amy. You're on the voice disguiser.

[Caller Female 1]

Okay, this is awful, but I've been married for 14 years. About a year after we got married. Oh, God, I could have cut this guy loose. But he is hot, he makes good money, and he's really good in bed.

[Bert]

And you're how many years in the relationship?

[Caller Female 1]

14.

[Carl]

14.

[Melissa]

Well, see, I think there's something right there. If you still think he's hot and you still think he's good in the bedroom after 14 years.

[Caller Female 1]

I mean, that's the thing. We work opposite schedules, so we don't really see each other a lot, but when we do see each other a

[Bert]

lot, it's really hard.

[Carl]

That's probably why y' all are still good. Yeah.

[Melissa]

You don't have to have conversations.

[Bert]

Just take it off.

[Caller Female 1]

We don't need a lot of conversation. We don't have a lot of time for conversation. But, oh, my God, he drives me crazy sometimes.

[Bert]

Meg, you're on Q100. Good morning.

[Caller Female 1]

Hello.

[Bert]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Caller Female 2]

Oh, I was just going to tell Jim. She's so right. Because my friends have a saying. Once you go big, you never go back.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Melissa]

My friends have another saying, but we

[Bert]

can't say it on the air. The thing is with women, though, you guys can. You don't need to be in the relationship. If he's getting that, you can come back as much as you want.

[Caller Female 2]

Exactly. Just keep them around.

[Bert]

That's all it takes.

[Lindell]

We don't care.

[Bert]

I just wanted that education to happen for women. You heard a guy say he was in a relationship with a woman for four and a half years, but she was so hot and so freaky, he was annoyed after six months. But he didn't go anywhere.

[Lindell]

And if you cannot irritate that dude for at least two years, you might have a ring on your finger.

[Bert]

[Caller Female 1]

Hi there. How are you?

[Bert]

Good. You're on the voice disguiser.

[Caller Female 1]

Fantastic.

[Bert]

How are you today?

[Caller Female 1]

I'm great.

[Bert]

What's up?

[Caller Female 1]

So the reason that I was calling in was because I gave birth to my first baby about six months ago. And since then, congrat, by the way.

[Carl]

Absolutely. Congratulations.

[Caller Female 1]

Thank you very much. But since then, my husband has not wanted to have sex. And actually it's been a little bit longer than that. It's been about nine to 10 months since the second trimester, really, of the pregnancy. So I was calling to find out if you might be able to help me out as to why, you know, why that's the case. He told me that he's just, you know, we have a new baby he's been very tired, and neither of us have really, really wanted to have sex. You know what? Towards the end of the pregnancy, when I was very big and uncomfortable. But now that. Now that the baby's here, he just, he's, you know, he's been saying, I'm really tired. Things will change after a while, you know, and it's just been a lot of excuses. And I. I was talking to a coworker recently who. Who asked me if he. If my husband watched the birth of the baby. And I told her that he had. And she said, well, you know, for some guys, that just will completely turn them off. So my question is, I'm wondering if he's traumatized by that and if, you know, I mean, it's kind of awful to say, but if that's the case, then I don't know what I can do to sort of take that back. I don't really know what can be done if that's the case.

[Bert]

404-741-Q100. Well, I can answer. I can speak to two of those things.

[Caller Female 1]

Okay.

[Bert]

When my wife was pregnant with our kids, also, those last couple of months, there just. Yeah. She didn't want me to touch her. And I. I know a lot of guys really dig the pregnancy intimacy thing. And I just. If I have to be totally honest with you, I wouldn't really into it. She wouldn't.

[Melissa]

Was just uncomfortable by it.

[Bert]

Yeah, it was freaking me out.

[Melissa]

Like there was a baby in there.

[Bert]

Yeah.

[Melissa]

Yeah.

[Bert]

The angles are odd.

[Melissa]

Yeah.

[Bert]

I'm not good at it to begin with, and that was the advanced course.

[Caller Female 1]

It can be very painful.

[Bert]

So. Yeah, we just. Yeah, we sort of gave up on the whole thing towards the end of it. And I watched the delivery of our baby also, and it didn't have an effect on me at all. I was fascinated by the whole thing. And once both of them were born, I was ready to go. But I can tell you that one of my best friends in California was going through the same thing you are, is they talked about it over and over and over again. And his wife said, look, I know this kind of thing freaks you out. Look, you can't even watch House, you know, you can't even watch Grey's Anatomy. So go ahead, be in the delivery room. Just don't look.

[Melissa]

Stand up by her head.

[Bert]

Stand by her head. Yeah. There's plenty of ways you can avoid it if you want to. Right. So he gets into the delivery room and he starts to get all curious, and he goes down there in the catcher stance right there with the doctor, and he watches the whole thing happen. And for about six months after that, when they had the baby, he was the same way. He couldn't shake the image out of his head. And that part for him just became anything but sexual. And he couldn't shake it. He just couldn't shake it.

[Melissa]

For how long?

[Bert]

It was about six months also.

[Caller Female 1]

But he.

[Bert]

Eventually, you have to suck it up. There's only one thing, you know, you just gotta get back on the horse. Right.

[Caller Female 1]

Have you heard any statistics that say this will change after, you know, this initial period?

[Bert]

I haven't. I don't know. I don't know. Good morning, Ashley. You're on Q100.

[Caller Female 2]

Hey, how are y'?

[Bert]

All? Good. How are you?

[Caller Female 1]

Good.

[Caller Female 2]

I got advice for the caller. My daughter is 9 now, but I went through the same thing when she was born. I gained a lot of weight through the pregnancy, and we didn't have, you know, relations after, you know, before the baby was born, and we sure definitely didn't have them afterwards. And I asked him, I said, you know, what's the deal? Why haven't we, you know? And he said, because all he kept doing was visualizing it. And it was really, really hard because, you know, even though relationship is not based on that, it helps, you know, you have to have those intimate times together. And I think that she really needs to talk to her husband because even though my. My labor was pretty bad, you know, there could be other reasons why. And I think that she, you know, needs to open up to her husband and ask him why.

[Bert]

Yeah. So many things happen in that delivery room that can really jack you up.

[Caller Female 1]

I mean, you know, and that's the thing. And I've been playing it through in my mind, you know, thinking, gosh, was it this? Was that?

[Melissa]

But he's your husband. You should be able to talk to him about this.

[Bert]

Absolutely. You guys got to talk about it for sure.

[Caller Female 1]

Do you think it's time for that?

[Bert]

Yeah, Scott, it's better to talk to him than us. Hey, Scott. Good Morning. You're on Q100. Hi.

[Caller Male 1]

Yeah, hey. My wife and I had a baby just about 13 months ago and went through exactly what you went through as well. Be patient. He saw things he shouldn't have seen die. It's gonna take a little while. He's traumatized. It'll be all right, I promise.

[Melissa]

Can you tell us why it's so traumatizing or maybe help us get into the male mentality a little bit more?

[Caller Female 1]

Okay.

[Caller Male 1]

It was all okay. When I was patting her on the head, telling her everything was going to be alright and everything. And then when the wet nurse said, oh, come down here and look, and I went down and saw things I had never even considered seeing before. It stuck in my head for a long time. So be patient with him. He'll come around and everything will be

[Caller Female 1]

all right, I promise.

[Bert]

I mean, up until that point. And to be totally honest with you, also the woman's breasts, that area down there. And the breasts are sexual for guys, right? They are sexual indeed, indeed. So to see it in a way that we haven't seen it before, like that.

[Melissa]

Functional.

[Bert]

Functional. And yeah, there for what it's supposed to be there for. It's a little bit tough to shake some of those images.

[Melissa]

Is it the head crowning, the baby head crowning?

[Bert]

There's a little head in there.

[Carl]

There's a lot of.

[Bert]

There's a lot of stuff going on. Did you.

[Melissa]

But don't you watch videos and go to Lamaze classes and stuff like that where you see that before your actual wife?

[Bert]

It's so different. I mean, it's the difference between watching a football game and being in the football game.

[Carl]

Well, I was grossed out in health class, I mean, by the whole. Did you see any high school stuff that's gross. You know, it's magical and it's wonderful, but it's gross.

[Melissa]

I'm not attracted to it anyway. So to me, it's like all biology. You know what I mean? It's all a biology class. It's not like a. The same thing the way that you guys see it.

[Bert]

I'll tell you the funny thing that happened with Stacy and I is when Hayden was born, I was fascinated by it. And I was the same as my friend in California. Like, maybe I'll watch, maybe I won't. And then I got down there and I'm like, wow, look at all of this going on down here. And I was like a little kid, you know, and I'm like, stacy. Cause at that point we thought we were only gonna have Hayden. I said, look, you've gotta check out what's going on down here. Cause we're only doing Hayden here, so you gotta at least take a look at it. So she was reluctant. She's like, I don't wanna see it. I don't. Please don't. I'm like, no, you gotta see this. This is coming outta your body. So she's like, all right. So over at Northside, they have these rolling windows that you can bring Right over. And you can angle it. The mirrors. Yeah. So the woman can see what's going on. She took one look at it, and she's like, get that thing out of my face. I hated it.

[Melissa]

I'm trying.

[Carl]

This is a new. A new thing. Like you. I'm trying to figure out when they allowed the husbands or boyfriends to come into the delivery room, because they didn't used to do that. You see old school shows. They were in the waiting room with the cigars, waiting for the nurse to

[Bert]

come out and go, it's a boy.

[Carl]

I'm curious how. I mean, it's only been, you know, in one generation that this has been allowed. So it's good that we're talking about.

[Bert]

It's a crazy rule. Hey, Miranda, Good Morning. You're on Q100. Hi.

[Caller Female 1]

Hi.

[Caller Female 2]

Good morning. I had a baby at the end of July, and my husband had the same thought process. A lot of his friends had told him, don't look, don't look. You'll be really grossed out. And when we got in there, kind of the same situation, you know, as Bert, you want to look. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. Your baby's being brought into the world. And, I mean, we had no problems at all. My advice to the caller is just to, I mean, talk to your husband. There's probably another reason. It's probably the fact that you guys have a baby and he's probably overwhelmed with being the new dad. I mean, there's probably a lot of things other than the fact that it's just, you know, he has these images in his head because, you know, that in itself is probably not the reason why.

[Bert]

And he's got nobody to talk to about this, really. I mean, most guys are pretty closed when it comes to talking about anything that they're insecure about or emotions. You go to another guy and you tell him that I'm not having sex with my wife and it's because of me. A lot of guys can't do that. So the only person he has to talk to is you.

[Caller Female 1]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

[Carl]

But the good thing is everybody that's called Bert's friend, the guys that have called that said, if that is the issue, they get over it, you know? So it's not like this is going to be a permanent thing.

[Bert]

Yeah, guys can really work around almost anything in order to get sex, just so you know. So it'll take some time, but eventually he'll be like, it'll go away. Yeah. Well, the thing that I'm hearing, like Melissa said, the common theme with everybody here is it does go away. You know, that he's going to get over this. But I think probably sitting him down in a very sort of like, nurturing way and talking with them about it to where he's feeling comfortable, I think is the only way to go.

[Caller Female 1]

Great. Yeah, that needs to happen.

[Melissa]

And maybe a trip to Victoria's Secret.

[Bert]

That's always good. Who cares about the economy? You can spend whatever you want at Victoria's Secret. All right, Good luck. All right.

[Carl]

Congratulations again on your children.

[Caller Female 1]

Thanks, guys. Take care.

[Bert]

Let me give guys this advice also. If it's the weight issue that you're having with your wife when she's pregnant and that's turning you off, you better take that to the damn grave with you. You better never share that. Never, never, never. You may be tempted to tell her in a kind, nurturing way, don't do it.

[Carl]

No, never do that. And I think it's sad that guys, like. It's like they can't adapt to the image they think is a. Is perfect woman. You know what I mean? So I think it's also sad that guys have that or some guys.

[Bert]

Some guys do. And it's. If that's you we're speaking to, there's nothing you can do about that because that's how you're built. But you better take. Take that to the grave. There is no. What did you say? Gentle and nurturing. No.

[SpinQuest Announcer]

Do not.

[Melissa]

You.

[Bert]

You think you'll say, you know what? I can, I can kindly and peacefully tell her this. Don't believe women when they say they want 100% honesty. That is a lie right there. Yeah, you can lie there.

[Melissa]

Yeah, we want you to lie about our bodies and say that they're great.

[Bert]

Lie, gentlemen. Lie. The bird show.
