Purch the Bird Show Jeff mentioned something yesterday and I couldn't get to it because we just ran out of time. That I thought was pretty funny because I think generally old people are funny and Jeff was talking about Jessica's mom, his mother in law and kind of this idiosyncrasy, this eccentric side to her. And I think all old people have some things they do that don't make sense to younger people but they make total sense to themselves and it's just so out of the realm of possibility that it just seems so eccentric. I know my like my aunt who you know, she's yeah, I mean she's older, she's 60s, maybe early 70s and like she used to Have a thing. I remember she would heckle my grandmother if my grandmother did not finish an entire can of soda. Like, that was my aunt's thing. You don't wait. Because once you open a can of soda, it'll go flat if you put it in the fridge. But my grandmother, I mean, she's 92 years old. And you know, when you get that old, your meals become, you know, a slice of bread with peanut butter on it. And that's it. And that's all you eat for the entire day. And you have to even put that in a blender. Right? So I just remember being over at my grandmother's house once. And, you know, she opened a can of whatever it was and poured half into a glass and drank it. And my aunt's like, what, are you gonna finish the can? And she goes, no. And that was her thing. Jessica's mom, I found this out when we were there because she lives alone and doesn't like to. These are her words. Waste electricity. That 20 minutes before you take a shower, you have to turn on the hot water heater. And my question is, doesn't it take like as much energy to heat it up every single time you're gonna take a shower as it does just to leave it on? Well, she's 60 something years old. I'm not gonna argue with her. Right. You know, but it screwed me every night. Cause I would forget that you had to do it. And I didn't get it for the first couple nights. Like, the first night it happened, I thought somebody had just gotten out of the shower. You know how if you take like two showers back to back, the second person might run out of water? Like, so I thought maybe. And then like the second night, I think Jessica said, I'm gonna get in the shower. And her mom said, I'll go turn the water on for you. And then I don't even know if there's a switch. Now you can't say anything because it's your mother in law and you want to be respectful, but Jessica, you can. Yeah. How can you say something to your mom about like, mom, just turn it on? Well, it's not that. It's a conservation thing. It's the house. Like, that house is like a hundred years old. It's like one of the original houses in Hawaii. And so the way that the hot water is set up, you have to turn it on. You just can't keep it on all the time. No, she told me what she said I like to save electricity. She goes, the only thing I use hot water for is to take a shower. So I only turn it on when I take a shower. I think a lot of these eccentric type things come from our parents, like growing up in the Depression or our grandparents growing up in the Depression and they had to save and save and save and they just never got out of that whole habit. You know how old people start to get up earlier and earlier. Jessica's mom is up at like 4:30, 5:00 clock in the morning, but the sun doesn't rise until 6:30. So she gets up, go. She, she gets up, makes her tea or whatever, heats it up in the microwave, goes and gets the paper and then comes back and sits in the dark house until the sun gets up enough so she can read the paper. Boy, that's, that's eccentric. Yeah, she's. Yeah, she has her moments. And you know what? I swear like everybody back in Hawaii too, I mean, they grew up, I think like so a little bit more primitive, you know, like back in World War II. And I mean, they do things like they eat everything on their plate and if you don't, they almost see that as a sign of disrespect. Like chick, like, like things that I can't do. Like, I don't like to suck on chicken bones or stuff like that, you know, and they'll eat like every last bit. And if you don't eat last bite, they'll be like, are you going to finish that piece of Spam?
No, I hate Spam. And they're like, oh, I gave it to you. And it's like you feel obligated. Like I had a buddy whose grandfather wouldn't travel on Tuesdays and I forget what had happened to like, maybe he knew somebody that was in a plane crash on a Tuesday and it just stuck with him and he just would not, he couldn't budge from that. He would not fly on Tuesdays. Hey, Julie. Hey, how are you doing? Good, thank you. I have the craziest landlord. She will come in and turn the light off in my living room. You know, the one light you leave on so when you come home you can see when you walk in. Oh no. And she will turn it off and she turns the heat off and will not turn it on until everybody is at home at night. And so it's like 50 degrees at 3 o' clock in the morning. How old is this landlord? Oh, she's only 40. Oh really? See, I was gonna say if it was like 70, I could understand it, you know, but it's 40 she's a cheapo.
I think it's more of an older person thing because than it is. I mean, she's just being cheap. But I think old people, for some reason, older people just get stuck in their ways and they just have a way of. There's just a way. There's just a routine. I think it was a depression thing. I really do. And I think Jessica's dad washed their car every Saturday, like at like 7 in the morning. Wasn't it like every Saturday? That's what he did. Even if, I mean, even if it wasn't dirty. They had two cars and one he didn't drive often because her mom doesn't drive. So even if he didn't drive the car and only drove the pickup truck, the car would still get washed every Saturday morning. Hey, Elizabeth. Hey, how you doing? Good, thank you. I've got the funniest story. Back when my grandmother was still alive, we would go out to Fayetteville, where I used to live, and we would come to red lights. And my grandmother thought she was saving gas by turning the car off when the light turned red. And by the time the light finally turned green, she cranked the car back up and the light would be red again. It was hilarious. Every red light, she would turn it off. At every single red light that we came to, she would turn it off. It was so humiliating. I was like ducked down in the seat and I was like 10 years old. It would take you forever to get anywhere. I know. It was hilarious. My grandpa, we used to. He lived an hour north of us and we would go up like once a month to see him, and we'd all get in the family car and drive up. And then at some point he would take my dad and I, we were obligated to do it. My dad was obviously his son in law. We would get in the car and we would take the same tour of the same town that we took every. And he would take us down. He lived in a town called Oswo, which was right on the Oswo river, which is a big shipping port for upstate New York. So we would go down to the port and we would see what ships are in, and then we would hear about what ships have been in the past week. And then we would go and we drive and there's this restaurant called Rudy's, and we would drive out past there. We'd drive through the college campus, same tour every month. From what I can remember, until I was old enough to not have to go with my parents every time, probably 13 or 14. But until he got sick, you know, obviously his older years. But until he got. Got sick, every time we go up there, the same tour of the same city, I had crazy baby food jar grandmother. Oh, you see a lot of this? You see a lot of this? Yeah. She was insane, though, because she had a bag. See, the size of Jessica's handbag right there increased that by tenfold. It was like the size of a suitcase she would take to Shoney's or whatever buffet she wanted to attack. Take out the empty baby food jars and fill up them with the buffet items and take home an entire suitcase full of baby food jars full of depression. Right there. That's from living in the Depression. She would steal the condiments. You could sit at a table that had salt, pepper, sugar, sweet, low. By the end of the meal, gone. How many of your grandparents used to keep, like, the money underneath the mattress because they didn't trust banks anymore to hide the money? The same grandfather, when he passed away, they were cleaning up his house, you know, cleaning. Helping my grandmother go through his stuff. And they found money all over the place. Like, they found, like, $1,000 and $5 bills, like, in one drawer. Stacy's aunt was like that, too, when she passed away. And another cabinet all in, like, ones just random little wads of money all over the place. And they'll save the little bits of soap, too. Like, you know how you get down to the end of the bar of soap and we just end up throwing it away? They would save them all and then put them all back together to form, like, one. I never saw soap. Yeah, that's a depression thing, too. My grandmother was also notorious for keeping all her cigarette buds in the ashtray. Like, she wouldn't empty them for a week, and she would go into the ashtray and just grab one that she may have thought had an extra puff to it, relight it, and take another puff of cigarettes. That's hardcore, man. Hey, Vicki. Hello. My grandmother, God rest her soul, she died last year, but she was 88, and she grew up in the Depression. Could not read, could not write. But my cousin lived with her the last couple of months before she passed away. And every time my cousin would eat yogurt, we found out after my grandmother had died that my grandmother would dig them out of the garbage and wash out the yogurt cup and saved them. She had, like, 50 yogurt cups. She had two boxes of rubber bands. She had 40 nail clippers and, like, cuticle cutters in this box. She Saved everything. She had 10 jars of vitamin E cream.
She grew up in the Depression. She couldn't read, she couldn't write, but she had her own code. She could call everybody. But she was the smartest woman I knew because she. She was thrifty and. But she saved everything. She had clothes. Literally clothes. My mom said that when she was growing up, she still had the same clothes. She was like. She was wise. Maybe not book smart, but very wise. It's like everybody turns into Rain man at the age of 65. Going on the same thing that Crash was saying about finding money in the house. When my grandfather passed away a year ago, when we went through the house, you know, he's been living in this house for a good 50 years. Found cash all over the place. Found those Country Crock Butter spreads, those tubs. There must have been 200 of those. He would save them, put green beans in them in our garage. We have a freezer. There must be. I kid you not, no less than three or four hundred little Ziploc bags of kidney beans dating back from the mid-80s. Can't let anything go, man. People will freeze anything. Yeah, they will freeze anything. They can find a half eaten slice of pizza on the street and it will go in the freezer. It's so true. Hey, Lisa. Yes. Hey. How are you? Good, thanks. Good. This isn't really a savings thing. I don't really know where it came from with my grandmother, but anytime we were getting ready to have a storm, she would have all the grandchildren go around and unplug everything electrical in the house. Yeah. And then we had to sit around and stare at each other while the storm was going on because we didn't have anything to keep us occupied or, you know. Yeah. It's also like, oh, I hear some thunder in the distance. We better get off the phone. Yeah. Because you're gonna get shocked if you're on the phone right now. Here's one. Cause I don't think. I think this is just gonna be my parents being weird. Cause, you know, you don't wanna think of your own parents getting old, but Jessica and I went to visit several years ago, and for some reason, in the backseat of my car. You ever see those boxing nuns? Yeah. Like, it's like a puppet and. You little thing. Yeah, yeah. Nun boxes. There was one in the backseat of my car. I don't know how it ended up there. Somebody gave it to me as a joke or something. But we were goofing around with it and it broke and I threw it Out. So the next year we go visit my parents and we're sitting around on their patio and I glance over to the garden and on a stake in the garden is the broken boxing nun. They saved it. It's easier to recognize in your in laws than it is in your own parents cause you don't want to see it. Well, in your own parents you think it's normal because you grew up with it and it's so normal. But when you get married and you see your in laws you're like, okay, that is some bizarre behavior. There's nothing norma about digging a busted up puppet out of the garbage and hanging it on a stick in your garbage. I don't care. In laws, parents. That was weird. And when did like coffee cans become the universal holding device of every item in your grandparents house? I don't know if my parents still do this, but whenever they cooked bacon they would pour the grease into a coffee can. They save it and I don't know what it ever got used for. What do I do with it? No, I save it all the time. You use it for cooking? Oh, it's great for seasoning and flavoring other foods. Nasty. Oh yeah. I don't think my parents ever used it. I just know that in my nasty old refrigerator on the bottom shelf was a coffee can, a Maxwell House coffee can with a plastic lid and it was 2/3 filled with bacon grease. Nasty. The Birch show.

Hey Monica, how are you doing? I'm alright. A little miffed. Yeah. You know, I just wondering how we can fix this whole situation I got going on. So Monica, when did this happen and what happened on the date? Well, it happened. We went out probably a few weeks ago. Even my friend had set us up. It had been kind of like this long thing trying to get the two of us together for a while and we finally, like, you know, threw the details in and got together, got on the phone, and he actually came and picked me up in my place, which is really, really, really nice, because I feel like, you know, nowadays, at least things are so informal. So he came and picked me up. I live in Roswell. So he came, picked me up in Roswell.
We went out to dinner at this little Italian place called Ippolitas. And it was nice, you know, everything was cool. Like, we got along great. We had, like, great conversations like that dinner was awesome. And then afterwards, we went and met up our friends, actually at slow comedy club. And that was even more fun because it was almost like we were on this little double date, you know, and they. They were, like, hanging out. And Kyle was. Even the whole time, he was, like, winking at me and stuff because, you know, Mark was being so cute. He had his arm around me and, like, you know, he didn't hold in my hand at one point. So it just kind of seemed like this instantaneous, like, click. Like, we just clicked and, like, got along really great. And what did your friends think of him? Oh, Kyle thought he was awesome. He was like, you know, obviously he thought that we had a lot of chemistry going on, because it seemed that way. Like I said, he had his arm around. It was cute. It was so cute. And we had a lot of fun. And so afterwards we had a few drinks there and stuff, but afterwards we all went back to my place because it's a pretty close bar and stuff, so we hung out there and watched a movie and had a few drinks and stuff like that. And it was. It was really cute. Like I said, it was like double date. It seemed very natural. It was awesome. And then, you know, challenge. Anyone home eventually. So I didn't think it was appropriate that he would drive home. He lives about midtown. So it kind of seemed like, you know, it wouldn't be right if he'd drink. He drank and stuff. So he crashed at my place. Okay. Which was totally fine. He was perfect gentleman about it. He actually was on the couch. Okay. Yeah. You know, it wasn't even like that. It was. It was perfect. He was a gentleman and slept on the couch, and I gave him some blankets and stuff. And, you know, we kissed and stuff. It was really nice. Defiant and stuff.
We kissed. We kissed a lot. It was nice, right? Did that involve a milkshake? Yeah.
I guess. Everything was nice. It was perfect. But I think the point. He wants to know if all the kisses were on the lips. If all. Excuse me. I think What Jeff is trying to establish here is if it was really just very kind of innocent. Did you touch the parts that got Michael Jackson in trouble?
But did you touch the parts that got Michael Jackson in trouble? You know what I mean? No. Okay. All right. So it's very innocent stuff. Just kissing on the mouth, and then you go to sleep, he crashes on the couch. Yeah. Okay. In the morning, when the both of you wake up, is it that awkwardness, or did you guys go to breakfast and take off or. No, actually, I made breakfast for the two of us, and we hung out at my place, and you kind of watched some TV on the couch and had breakfast together, and it was really nice. It was very. We kissed again in the morning.
But, like, I kind of thought that that would have been. It seemed a little off, but I think it was because we'd both woken up and kind of had morning breath and stuff. So I don't know if I was holding back or if, like, he was kind of holding back, but it was definitely a little different in the morning. Okay. Was his attitude any different? Oh, no, not at all. Like you said, it was cute. We were on the couch, like, watching TV and having breakfast, and it was. It was awesome. I mean, when we parted, you know, he was completely receptive to hanging out again and talking more and, you know. All right, you say, first of all, how late did he stay? When you say he's completely receptive, was it something you brought up or was it something he brought up? Oh, it's something he brought up. He said, you know, like, oh, we'll talk soon. I'll talk to you soon. We'll get together. I mean, he didn't stay that late. It was probably like 11:30 or 12. Something around noonish. Okay. All right. And when he finally takes off, how does the whole thing end? Is there a kiss? Is there a hug? Is there a. I'll call you. There was a kiss and I'll call you. Okay. It all sounds pretty. Yeah. I can't figure out why he wouldn't want to go on a second call. I think it's odd. No. And then, you know what I say? Jenner guys are kind of like an iceberg. What you get to see is about 10% from water up and underneath, there's a lot more stuff going on.
Well, it all sounds pretty. Pretty. I mean, legit. You're so profound. I love that about you. Can nobody else see it? What? You want to make your prediction first, then I'll tell you what's really happening. I Think he's got another girlfriend? Anybody else? Oh, really? I think he's married and gay. What? Yeah. Mary, where did you come with? My mom set me up with him. Like, why would. I was thinking that you might have been a really bad cook. And after breakfast he was like, oh, can't date her. She can't cook. Guys don't care about that if they're sleeping in the house the first night. I don't think that it would have been. I don't. I can't even fathom what it would be. But one of your friends set you up though, so we know he's not married. Right. Well, that's the thing is because, like, he's a friend that somebody. He's somebody my friend hooked me up with. Yeah. So that. So I don't think he could be married or have a girlfriend. Cause Kyle would kill me already. Like, I've known Kyle for years. Those are things just throws that out. I think my argument was the fact that. That things didn't happen between the two of you that evening. And I think he's just taken off. Well, I could say that if on a first date, if a guy gets on the couch and spends the night there, then he's thinking, I could probably do this, you know, and the next time or the time after, he would give it another shot. Yeah. So. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So that. Well, we could speculate all we want or we can call this guy, try to get him on and find out exactly what happened. Well, that's. That's what I'm trying to figure out here. All right, Monica, what you have to do for us though, if we get this guy on the phone here and Jeff and producer Tracy will try to strong arm to come on, you have to assure him that you'd rather this thing be over than have it open ended the way it is right now. Like, you want closure and you want total honesty, right? Yes. Because most guys, it's gonna be. They don't want to say why they haven't called, but you have to assure them that it'll be all right. Okay, well, I want to know. So I'd rather have the closure so it won't be a problem.
And we're calling him now.
Now he knows he's coming on kind of.
What do you mean kind of? Jeff was just trying to beat you to the dialing so that you wouldn't screw it up. Screw it up? Yeah. Please, no dialing. Do I need to tell this guy he's on the radio? Does he know he's coming on the radio or it'll work itself out.
Hello? Hi, is this Mark? Yeah. Hi, Mark. This is Bert and Jeff and Jen and Melissa. And we're on the radio right now on a radio station called all the hits Q100. Okay. Hi, Mark. How are you? I'm well. What's this about? We have Monica on with us also.
Okay. Hi, Monica. You want to say hi to Mark? Hey, Mark. Hi, Monica. What's going on?
Stuff. I haven't actually talked to you in a while. Yeah, Mark.
Here's the reason why we're calling Mark is Monica said that she had a really, really great time with you guys on your date a couple of weeks ago. Right, Right. And she really thought that there was going to be a second date. I mean, you crashed over at her place. You know, everything was pretty innocent. You woke up the next day, she made breakfast for you. When you took off, you said, you know what? I can't wait to do this again, or whatever. And there hasn't been an again. So she's wondering what happened. And Monica, maybe this is the good. This is the part here where you tell him that you're looking for total honesty. Oh, yeah. Closure is really why I'm on the phone with this whole deal. Because I'd rather just know what it was and move on than, like, wonder why we had such an awesome date and everything seemingly went great and I just didn't hear from you.
Yeah, well. Neat, huh? To be honest.
Yeah, it was a great first date. Monica, you know, you're a really great girl. To be honest, I don't know why you chose to do this over the radio. I just woke up. I don't feel real comfortable talking about this over the air. Well, she said that she's been trying to kind of call you and figure out why there hasn't been a second date. But conveniently, like, she'll tell you she's gonna be in a meeting till 9:30 and you're leaving voicemail messages for at 9:15 or you leave her a message at home when you know she's at work. So she kind of felt like there was no other way to do it. Is that. Is that just. I mean, are you doing that intentionally or is that just a little quinky? No, no, it's just like, I don't. You know, I just. I call her back when I can, you know. But you haven't called really, I mean, and spoken to her in two weeks. And if the date went as great as Monica said that I know When I was single, if it went great, I'd have figured out a way to talk to the girl that I was really interested in. And, Mark, again, we're asking for total honesty. I know that we've kind of caught you off guard. You might be a little uncomfortable. But like Monica said, she just wants closure. So you feel, you know, no pressure on you. There's no reason to feel uncomfortable giving us total honesty. Right, Monica? Yeah. I just want to know what the deal is and move on. I mean, I just would rather know than. All right. I mean, total honesty is what she's looking for. Is it accurate to assume that there was one particular thing that caused you. Yeah. Okay. All right. I mean, if you want honesty, I'll give it to you. I mean, Monica, all due respect, you are a great girl. It was a good first date. There was one thing.
You know, the next morning, you know, we woke up, we're hanging out, watched tv, whatnot. And, you know, when. When I was kind of getting ready to leave, we were cleaning up, you know, folding up the sheets from the couch or whatnot. And. And.
I can't believe. All right, total honesty. Total honesty. Okay.
She. She picked up her copy of Glamour that was on the coffee table and she.
She walked into the. Into the bathroom and.
Didn'T emerge for about 15 minutes. I'd say, okay. She took a magazine into the pooper. Yeah, no, call me old fashioned, but I'm right there. That's just nasty. Are you serious? You haven't called this girl back because she reads when she's in the bathroom? Yeah, I say good for you. If. Yeah, thank you. Pooping from your first date. Listen. Yeah, okay. He's supposed to hang tight. He was just about to leave. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe she was hanging great and, like, the chemistry seemed to be there. And I'm. But I'm sorry. That just. Monica, that just killed it. Because girls, you know, should be discreet about that. You know that. Guys, it's one thing, but girls reading for 15 minutes on the crapper? Come on. I'm sorry. That's a total. It wasn't 15 minutes. I swear to God, it was 15 minutes. I tell you what, a woman in the restroom needs to be like Chili's. Get in, get out, get on with your life. That's what I feel. I'm sorry. Call me old fashioned, call me shallow, but that's just nasty. It turned me off and I didn't know how to say it to her. I'm sorry, Monica, what can I say? See, I mean, I'm more on Jen's camp than the guys. Because, I mean, you can't be double standard, even when it comes to those things. But I do agree with Jen. I mean, you hold those things off until you know somebody. I mean, if it were. If I were going on a date with Mark and he went into my bathroom and did that, I'd be like, ew, no, you're out of here. We're done. I mean, I think it's either way, in front of somebody you're first starting to date. I'm wondering. It has to be a guy girl thing. I'm wondering, hey, but if you gotta go, you gotta go. Mark. Was it more that she did that or she took the magazine and she took the magazine in? I mean, it's a little both, but it's definitely the magazine. Put it over the top. Because, like, that's just. Well, if she didn't take the magazine, she could have been plucking or peeling or whatever. Yeah, exactly. She could have just been primping and printing. But yeah, or pretend like you're taking a shower, turn on the shower, whatever. Like, just don't make it obviously that you're going number two. I mean, yeah, it was real. And it was like right before I left. I mean, I'm sitting there basically with my coat on, and she's in the grabber. I'm sorry, Monica. You want honesty. I'm sorry, Monica. You've been awfully quiet. Are you still there?
Yeah, still here. I think we've learned not to get the sausage at Ippolitos, haven't we? Stop.
Come on, now.
Yeah. Thanks for helping out, guys.
Sorry. I'm sorry, Monica. No, it's okay. I asked for honesty and I got it. Coffee does that. I mean, it works for Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. Cause they're married. She can drop the kids off at the pool and nobody will really say anything about it. Yeah, Yeah, I. I definitely. I don't know what to say. I think the last week we can all take from this is if, I mean, Monica's gonna meet another guy and there's gonna be another date. And. Come on now, she's already embarrassed. I'm not gonna embarrass. Yes.
Mark will let you go. Monica will let you go. I'm sorry. All right, guys, thank you for helping out. All right? I just think it's. If you date a girl named Monica in Roswell, I would say, stay away from Indian food. Stop now. But I don't even like the fact that my wife does that I don't. Fact. I don't like the fact that God made a part of a woman's life. It's not the magazine part. That's just guys having to deal with the fact that it happens. But I. But on a first date, you don't make a dramatic scene where you grab a magazine off the coffee table and walk to the bathroom. You're not one of the guys. No. And, you know, I don't even think guys should do that on the first. I don't want to think about you pooping. Ew. I don't want to think about anybody pooping. Morning. All the hits Q100. Poop. Good morning. Hi. Well, everyone does it. Oh, come on. Not with a book. On a first date, if you're out drinking the night before, sometimes you get the craps in the morning. Now, wait a second. If your first date is sitting on the couch with his coat on, you can wait five minutes to say goodbye and then unleash the demons anytime you want to. That's what I called for. You do a deuce. But, I mean, if there's an inverter. Her defense. If she. If she's. If she's. If it was all, like, you know, like, in. Like, if she had to go and the debate was either go now and get it out of your system or risk getting a hug and then sharding. Oh, come on. See, Jeff, you're just. You know what? Just jump off the. You know, jump off the plane. If Stacy and I are on vacation, we're, like, staying in a bungalow or something. And these are really small. You said bung bungalow.
I will make her go outside onto the patio and read a book while I'm in there. It's that I understand.
I thought you were sending her out there to do the deuce. Yeah, go take yourself a hole like a cat. I get the bathroom, you get the beach. And make sure you kick sand over it so I don't step in it again.
And be sure to lick yourself good before you come in the house.
You got it. Admit people poop is funny. If he's on his way out the door, I'd be rushing, like, okay. But, you know, okay, hard to get. Get out the door, lock it, and then do your business. Right. You. You're. I'm not gonna make somebody sit there and know what I'm doing, because, you know, then when you're halfway through it, you're gonna get a. I forgot my gloves.
And you're in there, and you Know knows it into a glamour. And that's another thing. Don't take. Women shouldn't be reading in the bathroom. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. That is a dad thing to do. No, women should not be reading in the bathroom. That's just being stupid. Boy, that's wrong. Might as well smoke a cigar and eat beans right out of the can while you're in there. Ew. Stupid. Is that what you do? Yeah. Doesn't everybody? Hi, Lynn. You're on all the hits. Q100. Yes. I sit on the toilet and take a dump, and my boyfriend sits right in front of me and plays his guitar. And it's nothing. That is about the grossest thing I've ever heard in my freaking life. It's a great vis. Does he incorporate the sounds of the dump taking into the song he's playing on the guitar? No. I don't know. Which is. I don't know which is worse. The fact that she goes to the bathroom in front of her boyfriend or he's playing the guitar in the bathroom. Right. This next song I'd like to entitle, Do a Deuce. And he doesn't get disturbed by the smell of it. No. I'm gonna tell you guys something. Yeah? Ryan, Jen's husband, has to go to Gainesville to write songs, and your boyfriend is riding right there while you're doing a deuce.
I'm so creeped out right now. Yeah. So does anybody have a magazine? I gotta go. Get out of here. You're not one of them. Aren't I? Bet you are reading like comic books or stuff like that. Star Trek 2004.

Show Member & Listener Reactions:
The tone is lively, irreverent, and real, full of authentic banter, (sometimes crude) honesty, and relatably awkward humor. Moments of tenderness shine through the absurdity—especially when discussing grandparent wisdom or offering Monica closure.
This episode of The Bert Show is classic “real talk” morning radio:
