Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Tumultuous Relationships and “Living for the Drama”

• The crew discusses couples who seem to thrive on high highs and low lows, using “Crash” and “Lady Crash” as an example.

  • [01:05–04:15] Crash shares about his on-off relationship, frequent breakups, and how his friends struggled to keep up.
  • Bert admits, “When it’s high, it’s high. When it’s low, it’s horrible.”

• The concept of "passionate couples" versus “middle of the road” relationships is considered, placing value on emotional intensity—even if it comes with turmoil.

  • D reflects: “Some couples are just, you know, middle of the road the whole way and never really have arguments; passionate couples… when they're angry with each other, it’s very passionate.” [01:31]

2. Silent Treatments: How Long Can You Avoid Someone You Live With?

• Prompted by Crash and Lady Crash’s standoff, the hosts and listeners share stories about the longest periods spent not speaking to someone under the same roof.

  • Crash admits to more than 82 hours of silence with his wife: “Almost four days living in the same house, not speaking to each other.” [05:51]
  • [07:11–14:00] Listeners call in with stories:
    • Sydney: 14 days not speaking to husband, 8 months not speaking to her father.
    • Shay: 3 months of only communicating with her roommate via notes.
    • Nicole: 3 years without speaking to stepmom.
    • Ava: 3 years of silence with her brother over a boyfriend dispute.
  • Bert on his parenting style: “If there’s a fight, we have to argue about it and go away feeling semi-okay within 20 minutes.” [05:55]

• The awkwardness and pain of family estrangement are highlighted with a blend of humor (“That step-parent thing, it’s always the evil stepmom’s fault!” [12:05]) and empathy.

• On parental responsibility after a fallout:

  • D: “Somebody just needs to do something instead of having pride.” [11:06]

3. Hilarious Childhood Misunderstandings & Misused Words

• A lighter segment reveals embarrassing things people believed as children because of what parents told them.

  • Examples:
    • Bert’s wife thought deer used road signs to know where to cross. [18:47]
    • Jessica called sprinklers “chooka chookas” because of their noise. [19:29]
    • Misunderstood phrases: “spitting image” (actually “spit and image”), “wheelbarrow” vs. “wheelbarrel,” “valedictorian” vs. “valid Victorian.” [20:25], [21:56]

• Listener Andrea: “I always thought there were only 50 stars in the sky because that’s how many are on the flag.” [21:32]

4. Should You Spank Someone Else’s Child? – The Discipline Debate

• Lisa, a listener, explains she spanked her niece (after various warnings) when left in her care—setting off a major family conflict.

  • Lisa: “...she was just a terror this whole day… so I spanked my niece, and her behavior completely changed…” [23:09]
  • She stresses her son was present and usually receives spankings for similar behavior.
  • The mother (Lisa's sister) discovers this and becomes furious—leading to a communication breakdown.

• The Bert Show team and callers unpack the ethics:

  • Bert: “If it was my kid, nobody lays a hand on my kid except me. That’s just how I would feel about it.” [27:17]
  • David (Caller): “Spanking a kid is acting out in anger by the parent… if you can’t come up with another way to discipline, then you’ve got some problems of your own.” [27:35]

• The debate highlights viewpoints on trust, family boundaries, and generational perspectives on discipline.

  • Kristin: “If I have enough confidence to leave them with family, then there’s not two sets of rules.” [34:47]
  • Bert distinguishes between family and outsiders but stands firm: “My own, I will discipline… but nobody else puts a hand on his ass.” [31:16]

• The slippery slope is discussed:

  • Would you let a teacher or a nanny spank your child?
  • D: “I don’t see a problem with a teacher spanking a kid.”
  • Bert: “I will not give somebody else that right… You don’t know what you’re getting with a teacher.” [33:57]

5. Offbeat Interludes & Memorable Moments

• Bert and the team riff on random topics, like calling a team “cuddle-up” instead of a “huddle,” and imaginary technological fixes for parenting (e.g., remote shock collar for a misbehaving child) [16:11–36:33]
• Bert signals he is saving these tapes for “child protective services” as a tongue-in-cheek retort to some of Jeff’s extreme hypotheticals. [36:53]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Crash, on relationship drama:
  “Part of the passion is the drama. And you do have to kind of stir the pot every now and then… You get two very emotional people together. When it’s high, it’s high, when it’s low, it’s horrible.” [01:50]

• Bert, on silent treatments:
  “I mean, literally in the movie was on the other day… I’m going to be hanging on a chandelier.” [06:35]

• Sydney (Listener):
  “I have my husband that I went exactly 14 days without speaking to. And my dad, eight months under the same roof.” [07:16]

• Shay (Listener):
  “Me and my roommate… went three months without talking. The only way we were communicative was actually by note.” [09:09]

• Bert, on parenting:
  “Nobody lays a hand on my kid except me. That’s just how I would feel about it.” [27:17]

• Lisa (Listener), on spanking:
  “She was just a terror this whole day… so I spanked my niece, and her behavior completely changed…” [23:09]

• David (Caller), on alternatives to spanking:
  “You shouldn’t be putting your hands on her… If you can’t come up with another way to discipline a child, then you got some problems of your own.” [27:35]

• Cultural misunderstandings:
  “Deer look for the sign and then they cross... she was like 21 years old and said, ‘We gotta slow down, because the deer look for the sign.’” [18:47]

[Host - Possibly George]

The bird Show.

[Bert]

All right.

[Host - Possibly George]

Poor Crash. Crash and Lee. See Crash and Lee. I think we all probably know one of these couples that have this, these, they love each other, they're very similar and they have this tumultuous relationship. And I have said this to Crash and I'll say it again, that it seems to me that if everything is going right in the relationship, somebody some stirs it up because part of their passion is like, well, I think that's it passion.

[Bert]

I think that they are a couple, that there are some couples that are just, you know, middle of the road the whole way and never really have arguments and never really have a conflict. But I think passionate couples when they love each other is very passionate. And when they're angry with each other, it's very passionate. And when it's boring, it's boring. If there's no passion of some level.

[Crash]

Yeah, you know what, I kind of agree with you. I mean, part of the passion is the drama and you do have to kind of stir the pot every now and then. And a lot of people do live for that. They really do. I mean, when it's high, it's high. When it's low, it's horrible. You know, very, you get two very emotional people that are together and everything like that. But I had a relationship like this once before that lasted almost seven years. I mean Literally, breakups would last up to six months. And we knew we were going to get back together, but we knew we just had to keep the drama going. I mean, it was that bad. Seven months. So things, you know, now they do the whole rollercoaster and everything.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Just so you know, every friend you had during those seven years hated you both.

[Bert]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Oh, it's hard to see when you're in it, but I hate people like you.

[Crash]

No, no, I know that because my friends even used to make comments like.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, I hate you.

[Crash]

We hate you. I would walk into a bar and all my friends would be in there and they go, oh, you must be fighting with her because now you're here to see us.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah, yeah.

[Crash]

I mean, it was at that point. I mean, I lost all my friends and it took. Took me buying a lot of shots at American Pie to get all my friends back.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

You guys are like Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee.

[Crash]

Yeah, I heard. Yeah, I heard.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You make that in more there he's than one, right?

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

You could also drive a boat.

[Host - Possibly George]

But you know, when using this, using the.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Steering wheel or an or, he's got his own runner.

[Crash]

All right, easy.

[Host - Possibly George]

So Crash it end. I mean, most times, every other weekend I would say Crash comes in here and he relays to us that he and Lady Crash are in some kind of drama. Some kind of drama. This one is pretty serious, though.

[Crash]

Yeah, it is. It's pretty serious. And I'm not going to get into too many details because I'm not going to say anything, you know, bad about her. I'm not going to say bad thing about me. It's just. It's an argument. We'll keep it all on my side. There's obviously two sides to every argument.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Is it fair to say that you have at the. What is it? The quality in. On Roswell Road Comfort. In the Comfort Inn, you have a punch card similar to people. The one that people get like at Moe's.

[Crash]

It's almost.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yeah, your sixth night is free the same way your sixth burrito is free.

[Crash]

It's almost like the only thing I can liken it to is Pretty Woman. When Richard Geary pretty much owns the hotel. You know, he walks in there, your room is ready, sir, and this is ready, you know.

[Host - Possibly George]

But all she's going to hear by the time her friends get back, relay this story back to her is like, Crash called you a prostitute. Like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. And then the fight ensues again.

[Crash]

Oh, God. Every one of her friends has selective hearing. Trust me on this one I hear. I get it all the time.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And she'll want to come in and do a live interview and blame us for ending the relationship.

[Crash]

Hey, it's not your fault. It just didn't work.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You know, we'll be reading about you and Lee and Jet magazine.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Or on BlackVoices.com.

[Host - Possibly George]

So now it's so bad you guys aren't even talking.

[Crash]

Yeah, there's just basically no communication whatsoever.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

For how long?

[Crash]

Probably since Saturday, I would imagine.

[Bert]

And it's. What's today, what time?

[Crash]

Tuesday, Wednesday, four days later.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Four days.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

What time on Saturday do you think you spoke your last word to your wife, who you live with?

[Crash]

Probably Saturday night sometime.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

So we'll say, let's say 9:00pm yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Okay, so you're like, walking by each other in the house, like, totally not speaking to each other. I have, well, silent treatment all the way.

[Crash]

Well, the beauty of me getting up at 4 o' clock in the morning and then getting my afternoons off and then not leaving work till 7 o' clock is there's really not a whole lot of time to. To bump into each other. Pretty much. It's the perfect marriage, really, if you're thinking about it. Because you don't get a chance to do that. Well, no, no, you don't get a chance to. You're not constantly smothering everyone like in Hobby Land, you know, you're not just.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

All together all the time, hugging every time you see each other.

[Host - Possibly George]

Mandatory to hold hands.

[Crash]

Yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

You know, and skip.

[Bert]

You skip.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And Hobby Land, you guys got a.

[Crash]

Mail slot through the bathroom door that you got to hold hands while you're all sitting on the toilet.

[Host - Possibly George]

It's not a game of hopscotch. A day in the Hobby household. It's not a good day.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Hey, Ryan, want to go out in the yard and play tag?

[Host - Possibly George]

Okay.

[Crash]

What kind?

[Host - Possibly George]

Cartoon T. Okay, love to, honey, but I'm baking for our bake sale.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

If my math is correct, you guys have gone 82 hours without speaking.

[Host - Possibly George]

All right, 82 hours. That's almost four days living in the same house not speaking to each other, which fascinates me because this isn't an option in my house. If there's a fight, we have to make Stacy make sure that we have to argue about it and go away at least feeling semi okay with each other within, like, 20 minutes of the argument. This is not even an option in my house.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Now.

[Crash]

It's either the mountain or the molehill. That's it.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

There.

[Crash]

There. There is no in between. There's no level ground, unfortunately, that we're just. That's just the way we are. We're just two high caliber, high strung, emotional people. And I mean, none of us will back down. I mean, it's like, what is that? They have the two mountain goats or something? They'll just keep beating each other's head till they both die. War of the Roses, two rams just.

[Host - Possibly George]

Going at it all.

[Crash]

Yeah, I mean. I mean, literally. And the movie was on the other day. I was watching it with Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas. I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to be hanging on a chandelier someday.

[Host - Possibly George]

Here's what I want to know. What is the longest you've ever gone living in the same house and not talk to each other? Now this, this could be a pretty big umbrella because we could be talking about, you know, parents and their kids. We could be talking about roommates. We could be talking about married couples. How long have you had to live in the same house and not see said a word to each other? Hey, Sydney, you want to start this thing off with us?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hey, guys. Hey. I love you all. I just want you to know that.

[Host - Possibly George]

Thanks.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, I have two. I have my husband that I went exactly 14 days without speaking to.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

And my dad eight months under the same roof.

[Caller - David]

Yeah.

[Host - Possibly George]

And so you guys are just passing each other in the halls, you and your husband, and not even.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, yeah, we have five kids, so it's not like we had, like, a lot of attention on each other. I have. He has three stepchildren and we have two children together.

[Host - Possibly George]

What did he do to make you not talk to him for eight months?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, that's my dad. When I was in high school or when I graduated, I joined the army and my dad found out, of course, you know, I'm going off to the army and he didn't speak to me again until I left for Desert Storm.

[Host - Possibly George]

That's a smart move on Dad's part. What I'm going to do is I'm not going to talk to you before you leave for war.

[Bert]

Right now, your husband is. Two full weeks?

[Caller - David]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

14 days. It was Sunday. Just Sunday to Sunday. Yeah.

[Host - Possibly George]

Unreal, man.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

And. And he's. I mean, he's a great guy. It's not, you know, you were talking about the passionate. Passionate. You know, he's not that way. He's laid back. When he knows I'm pissed, he'll leave me alone until I'm ready to talk.

[Host - Possibly George]

For two weeks.

[Caller - David]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

He just thinks that one day I'll eventually give in. Until that's what.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

That's what makes me more mad. Like when I.

[Bert]

When.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

When my husband and I'll be in a fight, I'll try to give him the silent treatment, but it makes me more mad when he. His just lay back in. Yeah, when you just let us sit there and stew. I'll slam doors. I'll do whatever I possibly can to get him to talk again.

[Host - Possibly George]

Stacy does the same thing. Her thing is slamming door and then go into the bathroom. I don't know what's in that bathroom that she's crying over or where she's getting her help from in there.

[Bert]

Oh, and my tactic too. Especially if we've gone to bed and we're angry and then you have the audacity to fall asleep.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, don't do that.

[Bert]

I will do the dramatic toss and.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Turn just to wake you up and.

[Bert]

Then just wait for you to say. Are you still up?

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, yeah, I am. Hey, Shay, you want to weigh in here? Shay. Hi.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

How you doing?

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Good.

[Host - Possibly George]

How are you?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I'm fine. Me and my roommate, we went actually three months without talking. And actually the only. The only way we were communicated was actually by note.

[Host - Possibly George]

You guys would write notes in front of each other and just pass them back and forth.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Actually, we were like, go in our rooms or whatever. Like if I know she's sleeping, like I get up early in the morning and go to work or whatever. I would write my note and say, okay, such and such. Bill is due. I need such and such or whatever. Whatever the case was, we would only communicate by notes. And if we had to bump into each other, we would just like, look at each other. You know, just go the opposite way or whatever.

[Host - Possibly George]

But is there anything more panicky than when you have signed up to be with a roommate and when you realize you are stuck with this person for the next couple of months, you know.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

It was the bad thing. We were like the best of friends outside of living together. Once we got under the same roof, I found out that we could not live together whatsoever.

[Host - Possibly George]

So that's the quickest way to screw up a friendship. Live together, Try to live with somebody. Yep. Absolutely. Morning. All the hits. Q100.

[Caller - David]

Hey.

[Advertisement Voice]

Hey.

[Host - Possibly George]

Four months between who and who?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, it was actually my dad and my grandmother when my dad was growing up. But growing up, my dad always told us the story. She just was a little crazy.

[Caller - David]

And she didn't.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I didn't speak to him at all for four months.

[Host - Possibly George]

So there was no one instance that made her all mad. She Just decided one day.

[Bert]

According to him.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

One day.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah, according to him.

[Bert]

On now, two people. There is. It's both of them causing the silent treatment. But according to him, she's just crazy.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah. The story that's been passed on from generation to generation. Well, my fault.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Don't you think, though, like, as a mother, like, she should have been the one that, like, kind of broke the ice with her kids?

[Host - Possibly George]

See, this is my. My dad's theory, because we haven't talked. We're not living under the same roof, obviously, but we haven't talked in, I guess it's over a year now. And I think he feels like it's the child's responsibility to make sure everything's okay.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Why?

[Host - Possibly George]

I don't know.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

That's bizarre.

[Bert]

Yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

My thing is because I would think of it totally opposite.

[Host - Possibly George]

So would I.

[Bert]

Somebody just needs to do something instead of having pride. So what's your. No, it's you just somebody say something.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Yeah, but, like, think of Hayden as an older kid. If you got mad at him.

[Advertisement Voice]

No way.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

And, you know, even if you got mad at him for a day and you were going to give him the silent treatment for a day, and you're gonna. You're gonna be the father that initiates that conversation.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, the thought of me not having any kind of communication with my own kid for any amount of time is enough to drive you crazy. Morning. All the hits Q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hi.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hi.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

This is Nicole.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey, Nicole.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I went three years without talking to my stepmom.

[Host - Possibly George]

See, the stepdad stepmom thing is the one that I can understand.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

We had not even stumbled on that one yet.

[Bert]

I can see that.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Yeah, she would never say anything to me, but to put me down and like, three years into my dad's relationship with her, he finally said, if you can't say anything nice to her, don't say anything at all. So we didn't talk for three years after that.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah. That's one we should have seen right there. That step parent and kid, evil stepmom. It's always their fault.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

It's always the evil stepmom.

[Host - Possibly George]

Whatever. Hey, Ava, you're on all the hits Q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hi, guys.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Me and my brother, we didn't talk for three years. And we lived in the same household. We worked together for three years.

[Bert]

Not a word.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Not a word. He didn't talk to me. He hated the guy I was going out with, so he didn't talk to me.

[Bert]

And you dated this guy for 3 years?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

3 and a half years. And me and My brother started talking about three years after three years. And then we found out my boyfriend was cheating on me.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, really? So he got the ultimate. I hate to say I told you.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

So, but I told you so because he told me.

[Bert]

Let me ask.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, he found out that your brother found out?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Yes.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, wow.

[Bert]

Let me ask a question. Did. Did the fact that your brother not like him make your boyfriend more intriguing?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

No. I mean, not really.

[Bert]

Yeah. Come on.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I know.

[Bert]

Seriously, Nobody's listening. It's just us girls.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I mean, I was, you know, I was upset a lot. I mean, he wouldn't eat dinners with us. Christmases he wouldn't spend with us.

[Host - Possibly George]

That's the loneliest time Right There is dinner when everybody is all at the same dinner table together and everybody's eating. And there's always that uncomfortable silence when everybody's eating. That's when you feel it most, I think, right there.

[Bert]

And you know, it just never seems that this noise of the fork hitting the plate was as loud as it is when nobody stopped at the dinner table.

[Host - Possibly George]

It echoes throughout the entire house, in the neighborhood. The Birch Show.

G'.

[Host - Possibly George]

Day. This is Tony and Ryan from Tony and Ryan. Very good name. And today we want to talk to you about Boost Mobile. You know how holiday shopping is supposed to be fun but somehow turns into a full time job. The lines, the chaos, the last minute panic, the parking.

[Advertisement Voice]

It's a lot.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Host - Possibly George]

This year Boost Mobile is helping you treat your wallet and yourself with a 25 unlimited plan.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

You've talked about this before, Bert with I can't. Oh no, nevermind. It wasn't Never mind. Different story anyways. Oh dude, I was about to tell a story about you and Stacy and then as the story started to form in my head, it has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

[Bert]

I don't have a feeling that Jeff says that to Jessica sometimes. Oh, and remember when oh Wait a second. That wasn't you.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

It wasn't you.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

So we're out. What was it, Friday night? This weekend. And, you know, hanging out, whatever. And.

[Host - Possibly George]

I can't wait. You have gripped me.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

This guy said he was telling a story better than I am. And he says at some point during the story, he's gonna tell, like, a secret that none of the girls could hear. And this is an adult man. He is probably 30 years old, early 30s, and he's an adult man. And he says to all the guys, hey, over here. Because the girls can't hear this. So he calls all the guys.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, women love that. A guy's secret, right?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And he Sundays. He says, 32 years old, he says, come on over here. Don't let him listen. Everybody cuddle up.

[Bert]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Host - Possibly George]

Everybody cuddle up.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

He didn't do the cuddle up.

[Host - Possibly George]

Everybody cuddle up. He just lost guy points.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

So we all did it and then cuddled up together. We all, you know, got. We got in the huddle thing, and he told us whatever stupid joke was.

[Bert]

Jeff Le's guy points for cuddling with another man on Friday night.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And then it ended. And a few minutes later, one of the guys, he comes up to me. He says, did he say cuddle up or huddle up? And we had to do a guy intervention because his entire life, he thought what you do at football games was a cuddle.

[Host - Possibly George]

No, no.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

So like, through high school, like, how many touch football games do you play as a kid in your neighborhood? He said, come on. Everybody over here cuddle up. Like, he did that. Well, now, like in gym class, flag football, where they put those stupid things around your waist and you. You know, the flags, you cuddle up.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Did he say, like, let's get in a cuddle?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

No, he said, come on over here. He was telling. He was a little bit. He was a little bit tipsy, and he didn't want. It was some stupid joke. He was telling that it was gonna be offensive to women. So he didn't want the women to hear the joke, so he called it.

[Bert]

Well, see, that's a sign right there. I'm not surprised, because when you do that. Okay, girls can't listen to this, so come on over.

[Host - Possibly George]

So everybody cudd.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Yeah.

[Bert]

Cuddle up.

[Host - Possibly George]

And they were.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

I have no issue with that, because in the atmosphere of the night, him doing the huddle thing was funny because, like, they were telling offensive guy jokes. And so the story I was thinking of was Stacy. Remember, she went through most of her adult life thinking that Deer. Look for the sign with the running deer on the side of the road.

[Host - Possibly George]

It says deer crossing.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And that's where they cross the street.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah, her dad used to tell her that when she was like, you know, five or six, you know, when they were in the car and there'd be a deer crossing sign, he'd go, oh, we gotta slow down because this is where the deer cross. Cause they look for the sign. And she was like 21 years old and she's in the car with all of her sorority sisters. And Stacy turns around and goes, hey, everybody, we gotta slow down. Because, you know, the deer look for the sun and then they cross. And all the girls are just like.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Jessica, I know there's two. I'm sure there's a couple with me that I can't. But Jessica I know has one. Her dad used to call the water sprinklers chooka chucas. Just cause of the name they made the sound, yeah, chicka chuca chuca. You know, the little thing.

[Host - Possibly George]

And that comes back.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

He used to call them chooka chookas. Just because he'd be like, hey, are you gonna play in the yard? Cause if not, I'm gonna set out the chooka chooka. And so she was in the park one day with her friends and the little sprinkler heads popped up. She's like, oh, my God, run, chooka chas. And her friends are like, I'm sorry, what? They're looking for flying monkeys or something.

[Host - Possibly George]

Puts a chuka.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Don't die. The chugga chugga.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

What is a chugga chugga?

[Host - Possibly George]

I thought for the longest time that it was wheelbarrow. B A R R E L. And it's not. Do you guys know that?

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Wheelbarrow.

[Host - Possibly George]

It's barrow. Yeah, I only found out like a couple of years ago that it was a barrow. Hey, and you know when you're in the middle of a conversation with somebody and you say that, everybody in the whole bar stops? Did you just say barrel?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

I just learned one the other day. You know the phrase, hey, Melissa, she's the spitting image of her mother. Spell that.

[Host - Possibly George]

Spitting image.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yeah.

[Bert]

Well, I mean, since so Southern, I would have like done like a spi. Ttin apostrophe image.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

It's spit and image.

[Host - Possibly George]

It is.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yep. It's not spitting image. Yep. It's the. That's. I just read it on. It's one of the 50 most misused words in the English language.

[Bert]

I'd love to know the origin of that because I still got.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

If I can find that website. I'll find it, but it's like the spit and image. Like, if you're the spit and image, you are the, like, you know, genetic material and the appearance of your mother. Yes.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Spit and the image.

[Host - Possibly George]

Spit and the image.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Okay.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey, Andrea, you're on all the hits q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hey, guys. I was just. I thought about something funny when you guys were talking about that. I grew up in Las Vegas, and we used to drive to Los Angeles all the time, like, every couple of weekends. And I always thought There was only 50 stars in the sky because that's how many stars were on the flag.

[Advertisement Voice]

So.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

So whenever I would. We would be driving, I would. Whenever we'd be driving, I'd be counting the stars. And whenever I got to, like, 51, I thought I was counting the same stars.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Thanks, Andrea.

[Host - Possibly George]

Morning. All the hits Q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hi, this is Sheree.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey, Cherie.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I have one that's probably one of the worst ones you've probably heard yet. And my husband would really appreciate this. When I was 24 or 25, we were preparing to go to my cousin's graduation. And in discussing it, I mentioned how boring it was to go see the valid Victorian speak.

[Host - Possibly George]

The valid Victorian.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Victorian. And my husband was laughing so hard he fell off of the couch. I never knew it was valedictorian.

[Host - Possibly George]

So that's why you weren't.

[Bert]

Laura.

[Host - Possibly George]

24 years old, valedictorian.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Valedictorian. Victoria.

[Host - Possibly George]

Thank you very much. Thank you. 100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Okay. 34 years old. I just learned that pot and weed are the same thing. I have no clue.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You thought it was two separate drugs or what?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

How did you.

[Bert]

How, after 34 years, did you finally find out?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I started working for an attorney, and we're a criminal defense attorney, so, you know, we would get cases of drug cases, and, you know, they would go, oh, he had weed. And I was like, oh, okay. And then they go, pot. I'm like, but you said weed. And they're like, angela, it's the same thing.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

That's great.

[Host - Possibly George]

You know, do you realize how ridiculed you were behind your back the last couple of weeks? Oh, yeah.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Trust me.

[Host - Possibly George]

All right, Angela, thank you.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

All right, bye.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey, the Birch Show. Birch show listener. Lisa, how are you today?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I'm good. How are you?

[Host - Possibly George]

Good. You have us all intrigued already because I kind of pre promoted what you were going to talk about a couple of minutes ago, and we're already starting to fight about it. Yep.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Oh, no.

[Host - Possibly George]

So go ahead, tell everybody else what's going on with you. And your sister?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Okay, I have an older sister. She has three kids. She's a great mom. And this past weekend, the two older ones had to go to a soccer tournament. And she left the youngest one with me. He's my son's age, or she's. Sorry. She's my son's age, 5. And the whole day she was just acting up. She was being very rude, she was using bad language, and my son was copying her example, as kids do. And he just, you know, they're good friends, they play all the time, but she was just a terror this whole. The whole day. And, you know, my son knows that when he acts like that, he gets spanking. And that's just the way that it works in our house. And I'm, of course, never hitting him hard. It's usually he's more afraid of the actual act than the act itself, the threat of it, which is why it works. And so I spanked my niece, and her behavior completely changed, and she acted toward me with more respect. She was no longer influencing my son. And then they played nicely for the rest of the day. And it was really nice when my sister came to pick her up that evening. I told her, you know, your daughter was acting up. And, you know, I had this banker. She had never seen her act like this before and as much as this. And so I just went ahead and did it. And she changed her behavior and she was great. And my sister just flipped out and she, we have a no spanking policy. And I mean, I knew that. I know that she there. They're kind of lenient on their discipline with their children. And there are some times when I think that they could be a little bit rougher because their kids just in public sometimes will just, you know, they'll act out. And.

[Bert]

But the issue was that your child was there with her son, right?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Exactly. She was in my house and she was influencing my son. And I, you know, it was a whole day affair. It wasn't just like a little, you know, thing. So, you know, and I said, well, you know, you might want to think about trying to. That sometime, because it worked. And she changed her behavior and she treated me nicely. But the thing that really upset me, what my sister did was then she said she was yelling at me in front of her daughter, which completely eradicates the discipline that. That I've given her. And so, of course, she's never going to listen to me again. And that, you know, and now my sister won't even speak to me. And I mean, we speak Every day.

[Host - Possibly George]

I think they're probably two different topics here. The first one is how she handled it after it all happened. That was obviously wrong. But I tell you what, where I'm coming from, I want to be the only one to lay a hand on my kid. And especially if you knew that was a major topic with me, that. And you broke that trust. And I. I gotta be honest with you, I'd be pretty upset, too.

[Bert]

But, Bert, if. I think. I mean, I agree with you on that, but I think that had to be a tough position for Lisa to be in. Her child is there. Her niece is there. If. If she didn't discipline the niece, then her child would not understand. Why do I get disciplined for the same thing, but my cousin doesn't get disciplined? And then the child would question the mother's, you know, like. I think that at least. Am I correct in assuming that your decision was based on the fact that your child was there?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Yes, absolutely.

[Host - Possibly George]

If your child wasn't there, would you have spanked her?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I mean, if she had continued to act the way she did, I would have done something. I think the fact that my son was there made her act out even more because she was trying to kind of impress him. But, yeah, I mean, and I didn't know that my sister had a. No, flat out, no banking policy. I knew that they were lenient in their discipline. So I didn't know exactly that she was that against spanking, but apparently it really upset her. And now. Yeah, she won't speak to me.

[Host - Possibly George]

Let me take calls here. 404-741-1005. Yeah. As a general rule, though, I would say if it was my kid, nobody lays a hand on my kid except me. That's just how I would feel about it. Hey, David, you're on all the hits. Q100.

[Caller - David]

A couple things. How old is this kid? The one that she has, the one she spanked?

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Five. They're both okay.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Five.

[Caller - David]

One. You didn't have permission. You shouldn't put your hands on your. On your knees.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Even if you.

[Caller - David]

Even if she is your niece, you shouldn't be putting your hands on her. Spanking a kid is acting out in anger by the parent. And as an intelligent person, if you can't come up with another way to discipline a child other than putting your hands on them, then you got some problems of your own.

[Host - Possibly George]

I don't agree with that at all.

[Caller - David]

Let me finish. By your own admission, you said that if, if the mother, if the child had been there by herself and hadn't been influencing your child that you more than likely would have spanked the child anyway. And my point is this. I have children and I don't have to spank them now. That's the way I parent my children. You may believe something different, but I don't believe you had to put your hands on that child to get control of that kid. There are other ways to do it. And putting your hands and acting out in violence because the child is acting up. Unless the child was slugging your kid in the face, there's no reason for you to spank that child.

[Bert]

Well, I mean, in my household, I grew up in a spanking household, and I didn't. I maybe got spanked once in the 18 years I lived in my house. So just because your parents spank doesn't mean that they're angry people and doesn't mean that you have to be spanked all the time. I think people who spank their kids, those kids act better than the ones who don't.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Exactly. And this is my. And in my defense, I have to say I did try other things. I tried to put her in a timeout, and she was hurting my child. She was pinching him, and they were playing. She was playing really rough. And this is, you know, my son knows that these things are wrong. And if I just let her get away with that, then he would think that it was okay to treat other people like that.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You have to be more creative. Like, do you have a dog that could, quote, accidentally, unquote, bite her? Or like, say, hey, let's go ride bikes, but you really loosen her handlebars.

[Host - Possibly George]

You are Dr. Evil.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Well, I'm just saying, if you think, you know, like, how about this? Like, hey, let's go for a car ride. But you don't totally tighten the car seat and you accelerate, brake. Accelerate, brake.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey, Terry, you're on all the hits. Q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hey, good morning. I just wanted to say, I think if a parent drops a child off at somebody's house, whoever it is, be it a relative or whatever, if there are certain things that they want them to do, it's their responsibility to say, you know, here's my contact information. These are our rules. Don't spank, do. But once they leave, if they trusted that person enough to watch their child, then that's it. I mean, if she felt like that she trusted her to keep her, then she should have trusted her judgment as well. And if she felt like the child needed a spanking because her child was being influenced, I think she. She had the right to do it.

[Bert]

And I also think it should be taken into consideration. This is not a total stranger she's leaving her with. This is her sister. Like I'm thinking in my situation, if I had a kid and I left it with my sister Melanie, Melanie is free. I mean, if my sister decides to discipline my child, I trust my sister to know what was best in that situation.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

And from all those years of babysitting, I know that kids will drive you to that point. And I don't care if they're yours, not yours, your sister's, whatever. But when you have, I mean, and I can see that if it's something she does in her own, I can see how she made the decision. I don't agree with the decision she did make because I think that, I think she's got to respect her sister's wishes on being a non spanking family. But I think at the same time, I understand why she did it once.

[Host - Possibly George]

It was established so that it was a non spanking family.

[Bert]

And she didn't know that Lisa said.

[Host - Possibly George]

Is that true, Lisa? I mean, you knew that.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

You've kind of been back and forth on that a little bit.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, I knew, I didn't know that she was as adamantly anonymous spanker as she proved to me that afternoon.

[Host - Possibly George]

But she's brought it up to you before?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, no, no, she, I just know that in observing the way that she raises her children that they can, they let them get away with a whole lot.

[Host - Possibly George]

I'm trying to think in my mind if this is if that makes a world of difference or not. I just know that I would never spank somebody else's kids. Doesn't matter if my brother, sisters, relatives or not. I just don't feel like that's my right. But my own, I will, I will discipline my child with spanking, but nobody else to put a hand on his ass.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Okay, so let me ask you this. You and Stacy are out of town on vacation. You're in some wonderful foreign island somewhere where you guys like to go doing your eco poop challenge.

[Host - Possibly George]

Okay.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

And Georgeanne is watching Hayden. And Hayden is at an age where he's acting up and he's smart mouthing or he's pinching, pinching or he's biting or he's doing. You know, maybe he gets into that horrible phase. You guys are gone for a week. Can George and his grandma give him a spanking? You hadn't ever had to do it yet.

[Host - Possibly George]

I hadn't never had to think about it. You mean Have I ever had to spank him yet?

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

No. I mean, you've never had to think about somebody else spanking him?

[Host - Possibly George]

Well, Georgeanne to me seems so different. She's the grandmother and it's the aunt. And I don't know why that feels different because my first reaction would be, yeah, if George Ann wants to give him a smack on the butt, then give him a smack on the butt. But if it was Stacey's brother Brandon, I'd have a problem with that.

[Bert]

Really?

[Host - Possibly George]

Uh huh. I don't know why it feels different, but it does.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Now what would Stacy say if you replace that with your mom?

[Host - Possibly George]

I don't know. My mom would never. She's just. There's no way. She would sit him down and she'd make. She would make him do a three hour psychological session to where he would want to be beat. I'm the same way.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Oh my God. Woman just hit me. I don't know what that ink spot looks like.

[Host - Possibly George]

Hey, Erin, you're on all the hits Q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Yes. I was just calling to say it wasn't like she was beating the child. She was just. I mean, she just gave it a little spanking. Right.

[Host - Possibly George]

Okay, so what if it's not the sister? What if it's a teacher and it's just a spanking?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Well, I mean, personally I got paddled when I was in school and I mean, it was only a couple times and it wasn't like the teacher beat me.

[Host - Possibly George]

So it's okay for the teacher just to spank you?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I mean, I personally was a child that was raised with spanking. And these days people don't believe in spanking and we wonder why our kids are little holy terrors, man.

[Host - Possibly George]

Don't get me wrong. I do. I agree with disciplining by spanking. I mean, every now and then I agree with that. I just have a problem with somebody else doing it now when I have.

[Bert]

A problem with a teacher spanking a kid.

[Host - Possibly George]

You don't?

[Bert]

No.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh no, no. You don't? No. You don't?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

No.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

That's where I would draw the line.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Really?

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah.

[Bert]

I mean, this is the way I grew up. And I don't see a problem with it. I don't see a problem with it. I mean, because the child is being raised. I mean, yeah. No, I don't see a problem with a teacher spanking a kid.

[Host - Possibly George]

I will not give somebody else that right, that responsibility to discipline my child like that. No way. You don't know what you're getting with a teacher.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

What about A nanny.

[Bert]

Oh, a teacher's not putting. A teacher and a kid. A teacher and a kid are not going in a back alley and him beating the crap out of it. The way it happens is a teacher. There are witnesses to the teacher spanking the child, and that is the last resort a teacher will use. And if my kid is acting up in class, then the kid deserves to be disciplined.

[Host - Possibly George]

There is no worse tool a teacher can use and say, I'm gonna call your parents. I think that's way worse than taking them and spanking them. You tell me I get to spank my kid at that point. But you can't spank my kid, don't you. You were never allowed around Hayden.

[Bert]

He bites me, I'm kicking his ass.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

What about your nanny?

[Host - Possibly George]

He can take you. Actually, he doesn't have insurance right now, so can you hold on?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Can you wait till the end of the month?

[Host - Possibly George]

Morning. All the hits. Q100.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Hey, guys, how you doing? Hey, listen, I have a five and a half year old and my sister has a five and a half year old. And my thoughts of if I entrust her, entrust my son in her care, then whatever discipline she's going to give to her child, she's got to give to my son. There's not two sets of rules. That's my sister, that's my family. I mean, that's someone who I grew up with. She is not going to do, do anything that I wouldn't do to her.

[Bert]

Daughter or she's not going to endanger the child. This is family.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

I mean, I mean, now a teacher, nah, I have a problem. A friend, I probably have a problem, you know what I mean? But with my family or if I'm leaving, if I have enough confidence that I'm going to leave them with a family member because he goes to my parents for the summers down in Tampa, and I know he's going to act up. And I've been on the phone when he's acting him up and I've been like, beat his butt. You know what I mean? And I'll be yelling at them, beat his butt. I mean, I don't abuse my child. I really don't really hit him a lot. But, you know, kids can be kids and when they're away from home, they're gonna push the limits and sure, they're.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Gonna act out and they're gonna see.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

They'Re gonna act out.

[Host - Possibly George]

Oh, they're gonna act out.

[Bert]

That's what they do.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Let me throw out this. See, this is just.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

This just Came to me when I was babysitting. I wanna just.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

This just came to me. But, you know, Bert, what if. If the technology existed that probably. You could probably use cell phone technology, maybe talk to friends at Verizon or.

[Crash]

Something to help you out.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

What if you could develop a collar that Hayden would wear all the time? And so let's say, like, Jen was babysitting Hayden and he was misbehaving. She could call you and go, dude, he's pinching me.

[Crash]

Whatever.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

He's running all over the place. Then from where you are, you could call a number and actually shock him electronically, and it would have a recording of your voice.

[Host - Possibly George]

I just want. I want to say that's so humane.

[Bert]

To have a shock collar than to let somebody give him a pat on the butt.

[Host - Possibly George]

Right? And while I wouldn't agree with me being able to shock him, his teacher sure could.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yeah, but that's what. You just give people that. So instead of spanking him, you just give them. Have it only burn a little.

[Co-host - Possibly Stacy]

Jeff is gonna be one of those parents at Disney World that has his kids on a leash.

[Host - Possibly George]

Jeff is never gonna have a kid because I am for sure gonna keep this tape and give it to child protective services as soon as they start trying. Hey, Lisa. I hope this helped a little bit. Make you feel any better or worse?

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Oh, I feel better. I just wish my sister would talk to me again.

[Bert]

Yeah, it's a bummer.

[Host - Possibly George]

Yeah, she will.

[Bert]

She will.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]

Yeah. All right, well, thanks, guys.

[Host - Possibly George]

All right, thanks a lot for calling. Bye now.

[Caller/Listener - Various (e.g., Lisa, Nicole, Sheree, Angela)]
