Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
One thing I've always appreciated about the Birch show is we will take input. We will take input from you guys if you email us. Look, I'm always looking for some constructive criticism. Been doing the show nine years now, so we listen to you all the time. And I'll take input from anywhere employees. I will take it from listeners. I will take it from interns. So intern Bianca, please come on up here for a second. She has an idea on how to make the show a little bit better that she would like to share with us this morning. Good morning, intern Bianca. How are you?
Intern Bianca
Fine. How are you?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Good. Now, each week we have our intern send us a couple of things that are going on in their lives.
Jeff (Co-host)
Yeah, she's cautious. Like, what is this going on?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
What is going on? Well, she sent us a suggestion this week on how to improve the show. It's at least the way I read into it. And I've got your email here that I would like you to read to us. Because I think it's way more effective if it comes from you.
Intern Bianca
Alrighty. You ready?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah.
Jen (Co-host)
Are you ready?
Mark (Caller)
Wait.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Is everybody ready? Jen, are you ready?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Ready.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Jeff, are you ready?
Jen (Co-host)
I'm fine.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Producer Joanne, are you ready?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I'm ready.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
We're all ready. All right.
Intern Bianca
All righty. Okay. For the time I've been here, I loved it. You guys are great. The only thing that okay gets. Okay, I put irks.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Now go ahead and read it. Read it verbatim.
Jen (Co-host)
You gotta read what you wrote word for word.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
It's good. That's why we want you to read
Intern Bianca
the only thing that irks my nerves. Everyone knows what irks means, right?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Okay, you can just go ahead and read the email.
Intern Bianca
Okay. Is when you all put Joanne on air and talk about nonsense. I mean, who cares if you were a size 7 if a girl looks better than you?
Mark (Caller)
Hold on.
Intern Bianca
So you're not going to hang out with her? I mean, I love Joanna and she seems to be a very nice girl, but I don't understand why she is so self centered.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Do you want me to finish reading it for you? Cuz I can do that.
Intern Bianca
That leads into my topic. Why do women envy each other? Shouldn't women be happy to see other women doing something good? I just don't understand that. Which is why I keep very few girlfriends. I had this one friend, we were very cool, we all hung out. But when I started doing some gigs for this magazine, she hung out and I started hanging out with celebrities. She was mad at me. I didn't understand it. I mean, shouldn't you be happy I'm doing what I want to do.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Okay, now it's a good topic. I will give you that. Bianca, very nice. All right, but let's get to the first part of this whole thing.
Intern Bianca
Okay.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
So you think a way to improve the show basically is to keep Joann off it?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
No, but that's what the email says.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
The only thing that irks my nerves.
Intern Bianca
Don't put Joanne on the air.
Jen (Co-host)
I'm just saying it says put her on the air. Just don't let her talk.
Moto Casino App Promoter
Right.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
The only thing that hurts my nerves is when y' all put Joanna on the air.
Jeff (Co-host)
That's not what she said.
Intern Bianca
No, when you put Joanne on air and she talks about like with the. The when you guys are going to the skiing trip and some girl, you say you didn't want her to hang out with you guys because she was better looking and her career is better. Like why would you encourage.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I never said.
Intern Bianca
I didn't.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I said that. Yeah, she is beautiful and she is perfect and when I'm around her, she brings out my insecurities. I didn't say I hated her. Because you said in the email that I hate her. And I never said that.
Intern Bianca
Doesn't say you hate her.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
You said that I didn't like her because who was prettier than me? All my friends are beautiful. If that was the case and I wouldn't have any friends because all my friends are beautiful. I'm not intimidated by another beautiful woman. It's just she brings up my insecurities. And I think every female has a moment in their life where they're feeling insecure and someone else can bring out those insecurities. And I think that you misconstrued what I was saying.
Jeff (Co-host)
Didn't you say that with that friend that you didn't want to invite her to anything because she was so.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I mean, yes, but I think you're totally taking. It was a joke. Like when I say, oh, we don't want to invite her. I'm really not going to not extend an invit. She is funny. She is. Has a great personality. I'm not that shallow that I'm going to not extend an invitation. I mean, I hang out with her. She doesn't live here anymore, but I would hang out with her on the weekends.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Are you glad you're so glad?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I can't say it because you know it's true.
Like, oh, she's such a shallow person. It's a joke. Like you look at celebrities on TV and you find a way to bring them down. My reality is she's not a celebrity. She's real life, you know, and she is just a very beautiful and she had a lot going for her and she brought out my insecurities and that's why I came on the air to talk about it.
But I do think that Bianca has a point in that, you know, why can't you just be happy for.
I am happy for her.
Jen (Co-host)
About her.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I never said I wasn't happy for her. I don't wish any bad upon her. I am very happy for her.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Very defensive.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I know because I'm defensive because it's. You asked me to come on the air to share my personal stories and I do. And I can understand a listener saying, wow, Joanna sounds very self centered because they don't have the opportunity to get to know me. But you do have the opportunity to get to know me because we work together. But you haven't taken the opportunity. Instead you made these judgments and you're sticking by your judgments.
She's not making a judgment. She's asking a question.
Intern Bianca
Yeah, I'm not making no judgment on you. I really don't even know you like that. All we say is, hey, how are you doing? Whatever. But I'm just saying based on what you're coming on here saying, it seems very self centered because you've been on here to oh, man, I woke up, I'm a size 7 now. From a size. I just. People trying to be size 12 that are big and stuff.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
But I mean, come on, I work out all the time and I eat well. So instead of going down a size like you're supposed to, I'm going up a size. I'm going to complain. I don't care. If you're a size 10 and you went up to a size 12, you're going to complain. If you're a size 0 and you went to a size 3, you're going to complain. Why does it matter what size I am? I eat well and I work out. I'm pissed off that I can't go down a dress size.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
When she.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Why is that wrong?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
When she threw the word when we were reading this email. And Joanna sits in on our post show meeting. So she read it. You know, she heard it as we read it.
Intern Bianca
Right?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
When the word self centered came up, it looked like it was a knock in your gut. Like you have never heard that. Like you don't consider yourself a self centered person.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
No, I don't. I get.
Jen (Co-host)
You remember what you gave us all pictures of yourself for Christmas, right?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You do remember that.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
That's just me being funny, but that's my personality. Like, I like to make people laugh. And sometimes it's at someone else's expense, and sometimes it's at my expense. And I don't consider myself self centered. We come on the radio to talk about our life, so stories. Not about next door neighbor's life, story about ours. So it's my stories. So I don't understand how you can call me self centered. Kind of is. Because that's what it's about. It's about us.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Would you consider everybody on the show self centered?
Intern Bianca
No.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
No.
Intern Bianca
No.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Because Joanna's argument is that this is what we do, is we come on and everybody shares their personal stories. I had a stupid thing about the iPad this morning. Wendy's gonna talk about her ex in a little bit.
Jen (Co-host)
Just for competitive reasons, I would like to be the most self centered, if that's possible. Who would you rank higher, Joanne or me?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You're in the hall of fame.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
And then I also want to bring up you said I talk about nonsense. I get that all my stories may not be meaningful to you and maybe your life and what you're going through, but I wouldn't say that what I come on the radio to talk about is nonsense. Because then you're taking a jab at Burt, because he's the one who chooses what I come on set talk about.
Intern Bianca
Well, when I was writing it, I was Kind of mad. So I didn't really mean to put nonsense.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
What were you mad about though?
Intern Bianca
I wasn't mad. I was just into the email. I was writing it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Passionate about it.
Intern Bianca
Yeah, I was passionate about it. So nonsense. I'm sorry to put nonsense, but it is self centered. Some of the stuff you talk about, you're comparing yourself to another girl. Oh, I don't know if I want her hanging. That's what you said to Joanne. I heard the replay over and over.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I say I don't want her hanging out.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
It's undeniable. I mean, it's really undeniable that you're self centered. Right. I mean, you can't be offended by that.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I can't.
Intern Bianca
No, I'm not.
Caller or Listener
I understand.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I come off like, that's fine. If I come off self centered. I don't, I'm not gonna say I don't care because I do care. I mean, obviously I care what people think about me, but I care more about what the people close to me say. And people who I interact with daily say. Like if a listener calls up and they're like, why you're so self centered? They don't know me. They know me for 10 minutes every, you know, once a week. Of course I come off self centered and maybe, you know, shallow, whatever you want to say. But if you got to know me, you would know that's not really me.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
We know you pretty well and I think you're pretty self centered. But I think it's endearing. I think that's an endearing part of you.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I'm confident and you guys take that as self centered. I'm just confident. How come, Jeff?
Jeff (Co-host)
Well, I don't know if it's confidence because, I mean, just my comment going back to the friend that you know in that group, whether you think it's a joke or not, that you didn't want to hang out with a girl in the group, you know, that's not confidence.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I know how I, I know that it was a joke. I don't. You don't know. I mean, that's fine.
I don't.
Jeff (Co-host)
But I do want to follow up with Joanna. That comes on and she's very strong in her stories and strong in her opinion. And so it just sounds to me that there's just a disagreement on the message that's portrayed. Is that what the problem is?
Intern Bianca
Well, yeah. I mean, like I said, I really don't know Joanna. I'm just going off of the story. She's said the two stories. I Heard her say on air, and I'm saying it was very self centered.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Here is Julio. Good morning, Julio, you're on Q100.
Caller or Listener
Hey, good morning.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Good morning.
Caller or Listener
I always listen to you guys, and every time that Joanna comes out, I change these resources.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Why would you do that?
Caller or Listener
I mean, she. I agree with the intern. She always. She gets on my nervous.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
See, now you're just being mean. Now you're just being mean.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
But that's fine. I accept it. Because he doesn't know me. Because he knows me for 10 minutes once a week. I. That does not bother me in the least.
Jeff (Co-host)
Oh, well, you know, I'm on what how five days a week, people, you know, I get on their nerves too. So it's not just 10 minutes.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah. It's not just a time thing.
Jeff (Co-host)
No.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You can make a negative impression on this show in 30 seconds.
Jeff (Co-host)
Yes. No, it's just sometimes a woman with a strong opinion, they're like, oh, my God, she gets on my nerves so much because she talks, blah, blah, blah. So it's not 10 minutes.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
They don't like my kids.
Jeff (Co-host)
It doesn't matter.
Jen (Co-host)
Those are all emails from me, so
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I apologize for that. Listen, it's the vert show.

Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
The bird show. All right, Mark here wants to be on the voice disguiser. Hey, Mark. Good morning.
Mark (Caller)
Morning.
Moto Casino App Promoter
Good morning.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You're on the voice disguiser.
Mark (Caller)
Okay.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
How are you today?
Mark (Caller)
I'm doing pretty good.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right. So you are fairly certain that what you found on a friend's computer has been planted and it's not an accident?
Mark (Caller)
That's what I'm thinking. I had her computer. I had fixed it a few weeks ago and she brought it back to me and said that she was having more problems with it. Normally the scans that I do will pick up any data that is added to the computer since the last time I've worked on it. And this particular set of photos, when I did the scan, it showed the file path going back to the desktop. So it was on the desktop for me to see it soon as the computer came up. But they were pictures of her and one of my good friends who was married. And they were doing things that they shouldn't have been doing in the pictures.
Jeff (Co-host)
Okay.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Doing things they shouldn't have been.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
What, like kissing or what?
Mark (Caller)
Well, a lot more than kissing.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
Oh, so intimate acts?
Mark (Caller)
Yes.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Oh, okay, I'm a little confused. Only cause I had to check out for a second. So you found pictures of the woman that asked you to help with the computer, of her and. And somebody outside of her marriage?
Mark (Caller)
No, she's not married.
Jen (Co-host)
But the person she's in the picture with is a friend of yours and he is married.
Mark (Caller)
Yeah, let me backtrack. We all run in the same circle. So we'll go out and we'll hang at different restaurants together, different bars together. And there's probably about nine or 10 of us in the group. You know, couples. Now I'm Single, a few other singles. But when we're hanging out, these two, they act like water and oil. They hate each other, you know, so they're, like, constantly breaking with each other. The other thing. Which is why I think the photos are planted. He has a very famous brother, so he has a lot of money, and she is into money.
Jeff (Co-host)
Okay,
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
so it's somebody within the group, and they're putting the face on that they don't like each other, but they're really sleeping with each other. And once again, you said that he, the dude in the pictures, is married.
Mark (Caller)
Yes.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Okay, so that makes it uncomfortable for you.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
She wanted you to see it, probably.
Mark (Caller)
That's what I'm thinking.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Well, what would her motivation be for you finding out? So that you would be the one to break the news and break up his marriage?
Mark (Caller)
That's what I'm thinking.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I can see that.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Women are crafty like this. Dudes can never. This is a complicated manipulation. We've got one gear.
Jen (Co-host)
Yeah.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Women are like, you're playing chess all the time. Guys play checkers. Women play chess. That's the name of my new book.
Jen (Co-host)
You gotta tweet that, dude. That's brilliant.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
That's brilliant. Yes.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
404-741. Q100. So she's sort of using you as the pawn here, really, then to get to this dude.
Moto Casino App Promoter
What do you.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Well, even so, I mean, let's put that.
Talkspace User/Testimonial
Let's.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Let's put the question of was it planted or not on the side. So you, as a friend now, now you're uncomfortable in the group around these people, period, right?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Now, do you think that those pictures were recent enough to lead you to believe they're still sleeping together or that they were a long time ago?
Mark (Caller)
I'm thinking they were pretty recent, mainly because it was only a few weeks ago that I fixed the computer the first time, and nothing was on it. And aside from the photos being added, you know, to the computer, there was nothing wrong with it.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
Oh, so there was nothing to fix. Well, then that's a pretty good indication.
Jeff (Co-host)
I get it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, so with all that information, then, what do you do? So are we gonna go ahead and assume that the pictures were planted now? And Is our question.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
She wants you to know.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
So is our question for the Birchow community. What should you do now, sort of knowing that she planted those for you to see? Do you go ahead and execute her plan, or do you play stupid? Is that the question?
Mark (Caller)
Yeah, that's where I'm at right now, deciding, you know, whether. Because my boy is foul, you know, in the first place, for going outside his marriage. And, you know, I want to step to him and tell him about it, but then I can't, because that serves her purpose.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
Well, I think he needs to know because, I mean, obviously there's pictures floating around. So I think you need to talk to him about it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
It's a tight spot, but I think.
Jeff (Co-host)
I think her plan is flawed, because if you tell him about it, then he's gonna, you know, end it with her. He's not gonna end it with his wife. Right.
Mark (Caller)
I have. I don't know.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
There's no way.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
No one can really end it, because then she's gonna take revenge out on him because she's got the pictures as proof.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Jen, let me ask you what you would do in this case, because, I mean, you used to run with a very big, tight group. I mean, this is almost. We can almost apply this to that group. And even now you do. So what would you do if this was one of your.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Well, I think if. Because we've talked about this scenario on the show in so many different ways, and I think if you have proof, which he does, you can do something with it. I think if you don't have proof, then you can't, because then it's just talk and, you know, speculation and everything else.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
So the proof is damaging.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
So, like, you also have to consider how much you want to get involved. I don't know. I think you always have to consider, how much do you want to get involved? How much do you want to be in the middle of all this? Because you never know where the chips are going to fall, you know? So this guy, you know, breaks it off with the girl. She gets fiery mad and somehow drags you involved into the drama of it. He knew the potential of, you know, or the potential of, you know, her being upset that this guy's not gonna leave his wife and then blaming you. I don't know.
Jeff (Co-host)
There's just.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
There's a lot of ways that they can drag you into it and being involved. But I think it may be too far for him. He's already seen the pictures. She knows he's seen the pictures. I think at this point, with the proof that he's gotten, I would forward them along to the married person.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, here's Heather showing up.
Jen (Co-host)
Which married person? The one who doesn't know or the one or the guy?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
The guy.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
The guy. Heather, good morning. You are on Q100. Hi.
Caller or Listener
Hi. I love you guys. I listen to you every morning. I Just wanted to tell the caller that I think that he needs to confront the girl about the situation. I don't think that he needs to go to the guy about it because it's really not his place, even though he is a friend of the person. I just really think that he needs to confront the female about it because, you know, it's. It's a fine line. That's a fine line to, you know, just ruin somebody's marriage over pictures. Even though he does have proof about the situation, it just seems like to me that he needs to really confront the girl and ask her, why were these there for me? That's not my place. That's your place. If you want to destroy his marriage. I don't want to get into it. That's your problem.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Summer calling. Is this, is this a possibility, Mark, that she's also attracted to you and this is her way of saying that
Jen (Co-host)
she's open to it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
She's open to it.
Jen (Co-host)
But Mark's single.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You're single guy.
Mark (Caller)
Yeah, I'm single guy. And yeah, we, me and her, we have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Well, yeah, but she's playing that game with your friend also.
Mark (Caller)
Yeah, but I do. Well, one, I don't make the money that she's looking for in a guy. She used to. She used to date a real estate guy who about. Probably about a year ago when, when he started losing money and had to sell his nice car and everything.
Jeff (Co-host)
Yeah, real estate agents aren't making much money right now.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That was hot. A couple years ago. You're not such a hot commodity.
Moto Casino App Promoter
Right.
Mark (Caller)
You know, but at that time, she. She left him because his money mind wasn't there, you know, so, you know, that's what she's into.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Okay, here's Monica. Good morning, Monica.
Caller or Listener
Hey, good morning. I love you guys. Show. I think that you should definitely speak to your friend. The one who's married, took the pictures with the young lady. I don't. I think it's a bad idea to say something to the girl because simple fact that she put you in the predicament in the first place. She knew what she was doing. I mean, it's totally obvious. Like you said. The first time you went over there, the pictures weren't there. There was nothing to fix. The second time you go back, all of a sudden the pictures are on there. She knows what she's doing. Right? Like Bert said, men play chess. I mean, armcheckers, but women play chess. So she knows what she's doing. She's putting you in a Bad situation. However, your friend, he put himself in a mess of situation. So as a friend, I would still talk to my friend and be like, hey, look, dude, heads up, you know, you already know what you did or whatever, and I really don't feel like it's my place, but I've been put in the situation and I'd hate for you to have to hear it from her later on down the road that I knew about the pictures or your wife or whoever to find out and just clear yourself of the whole situation and let him know, you know, you might have a situation with this girl because she's pretty messy.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I'm trying to put on a cross section of advice, but most that's coming in is saying stay out of it or play stupid. Here is Tammy. Good Morning. You're on Q100.
Caller or Listener
Good morning, Bart. Love the show.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Thank you.
Caller or Listener
He should totally stay out of it. Play stupid. He didn't see it. Give her her computer back and just totally stay out of it because she's sitting him in a horrible situation with him. And my advice to him is to let it go.
Jeff (Co-host)
Yeah. What's going to happen if he, I mean, the horrible situation he's in, I don't understand.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Well, it's just going to be uncomfortable all the way around either way. Hey, Cindy, good Morning. You're on Q100.
Caller or Listener
Oh, good morning. Yeah, I think he needs to stay out of it. I would ask the girl to look at her computer again. Delete the pictures, pretend you know nothing.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Just act like you never saw them.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Right. I cleaned it up so well. I took all those pictures right off there.
Jen (Co-host)
I took the viruses right off there.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Hey, Jessica, good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller or Listener
Play dumb, act like you know nothing, you saw nothing. That's something I wouldn't want to get messed up in.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
That's what Everybody's saying now. AZ Good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller or Listener
Good morning.
Intern Bianca
Hi.
Caller or Listener
My opinion is I think that he should either keep his mouth shut, play dumb, act like he doesn't know, or if he gives any indication that she's getting ready to use that information, then I think he should only tell his married friend that what she's up to.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
What's your theory on not saying anything at all? Because that's what most are saying, but I can't figure out why.
Caller or Listener
Well, because if he says nothing at all, then she can't use it against him. He can just act like he never saw it on there. Or like you said, he deleted it and never saw it. He can just play dumb and she can't use that information against him. Like, if she comes out and says, oh, well, he knew, you know, he knew about it too.
He.
She can't really do that if he just plays dumb.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
It sure sounds like she's got a plan and she's using you. But I do think that there's some validity in some of these calls, that if you play dumb, she's gonna figure out another way to use somebody else to get her plan executed. I just wouldn't let it be you. You know what I'm saying?
Jeff (Co-host)
So you're saying play dumb.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I'm saying play dumb.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
Oh, I say tell.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You say tell. Tell.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
Tell your friend. The guy friend.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Don't tell her that.
Jeff (Co-host)
You know. Yeah, if you're close to the guy friend. Yeah, I'd be. I'd play dumb to her, but I'd say to him, look, just heads up. This is what I saw in there. So it's none of my business, but there you go.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
What do you do? I ordered.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
At first I thought I would contact him, but now that you can play dumb like you never saw them, maybe that's better. And stay out of it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Play dumb, Jeff. Play dumb.
Jen (Co-host)
Play dumb.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, Mark, I think most calls coming in are saying, go ahead and play dumb. Let this thing play out without you in it.
Mark (Caller)
Yeah, it'll be tough. And it just changes the dynamics of when we hang out.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah, you're gonna have to put on an Academy Academy Award every time you're out with him again.
Jeff (Co-host)
It's not fair to. You know, the sad thing is not fair to him either way because she put him in this situation. That's not fair. You know, it's not fair to bring a third party in to have to witness anything, you know, and deter and determine whether they should say something or not.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Hey, Mark, keep in touch with us and let us know how it all plans out in a couple of weeks, all right?
Mark (Caller)
All right, will do.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
All right, thanks for calling. Bye bye. You're on the Vert show.

Social Casino, the Bird show. Hi, Christina Aguilera.
Intern Bianca
Hey, Atlanta, It's Christina Aguilera,
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Q100. She's got a new album out that's it's gonna be out in June called Bionic. But she's got a bit of a different attitude before, man. Like it seemed to me back in the day she was eager to pick fights with like Mariah Carey. I think she and Pink had a weird thing for a while also.
Jeff (Co-host)
It's almost like they were all coming up at the same time. So they were just kind of fighting for attention. So. And that's where that came from.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Akon starting to stir it up between she and Lady Gaga. Now she's not really having any of that, but she's going to tell you in here that she's still sexy and she's a mom, but she's sexier. Now here's Christina Aguilera.
Caller or Listener
Hello, I have Christina Aguilera on the phone. Christina, you're on with the Burt show in Q100 in Atlanta.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Hello.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Hello.
Hi, good morning.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Hi, Christina Aguilera.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Hi, guys.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
How are you today?
Caller or Listener
I'm good.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
How are you?
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Great. You sound great.
Caller or Listener
Thank you.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
I am great.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Are you energized? You're back after a four year solo album. You sound energized.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Like the album Bionic.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
There are so many other things that are going on in your life right now. You got a million different reasons to be energized or tired, one or the other.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Right. You're a mommy.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Yeah, no, no, I'm definitely energized. I got a lot of work on my plate. I'm finishing the sequen and the mixing of the album still. But it's done. It's done. I'm very, very excited about it. But yeah, last year was a whole sort of year in preparation for the big releases. This year with the movie and the album itself, the touring, it's going to be a big, big year ahead.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Yeah, we're going to get into all of that stuff here in just a second. The family part of the whole thing. I mean, this is a very different Christina Aguilera now than the Christina Aguilera four years ago now. Mommy, husband. It's a very different Christina. Right.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
It's more confident and comfortable in her own skin and I think even a more sexual Christina because, you know, coming full circle, it's just something that's happening inside of me at this point in my life. I just think the comfort in your own skin really exudes. And especially for me, that's sort of part of the change of having a child. For me, seeing your body do these things you never thought possible. And then sort of, you know, when you have a baby, you go through a period where your body just is not your own. It becomes for your child, and that's it. It is not for you anymore. It's like your child and you're on the back burner. So once you bounce back from that and you kind of get your body back, I feel better than ever. And, yeah, just come full circle. It's a great feeling.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
It's one thing to feel sexier now that you're a mom, but now that you're a mom, can you show that you're sexier?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Yeah, of course. Of course. Because it all just is part of the package. It all exudes from one place. And when you're really feeling it, it's just going to come out. And you'll see in the Not Myself Tonight video, which I'm right in the middle of editing, actually, kind of as we speak. I was just seeing the new edit. It's just. It's.
Caller or Listener
It's. It's.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
It's really fun, and it's really.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
It's really sexy.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Huh.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
You think Christina Aguilera is very sexy in the new video?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
She's pretty great. Yeah. Well, you know. Yeah, I'm just, you know, in the middle of editing it, so I'm just going through all these shots that will never see the light of day, you know, but it's great, actually, Not Myself Tonight. I mean, it had to be, because the song itself is sophisticated, mature, dirty, in a sense.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Oh, nice. Okay.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Christina, I remember reading an interview when you talked about you and your husband and how you did Naked Sundays. I'm just curious if you can still do Naked Sundays now that you guys are parents.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Yeah, I mean, he's two and he's growing up in a house where we have. We're a big art collector, so there's a lot of female nudes and whatnot around the house. I think they're beautiful. I think women are beautiful, especially in the nude. I think more beautiful than men in the. The nude. And, you know, Max will be growing up in a house where it's just the norm and it's something to be respected and seen as a thing of beauty. I think it's only weird whenever you shame it and you think of it and raise your child to look at it in a weird light. You Know, I think that's when it gets weird.
Jen (Co-host)
You said shame it, and for a second I thought you said shave it.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Well, there's your mind.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
One of the darker parts of the industry. I think I saw yesterday, cuz I almost laughed out loud. I'm re. I'm doing a little research on you. And I saw Akon a couple of days ago, said some sort of not so nice things about you, about how maybe you're copying Lady Gaga. And my thought was, my God, I mean, the album hasn't even come back yet and they're already starting to create some feud between you and Lady Gaga. Is this a part of the industry that you absolutely hate, have always hated?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
It just comes with the territory. I mean, that in particular is not even worth, you know, wasting the breath to comment on. I've been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for itself.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Absolutely.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
This is the more mature Christina. Probably now also. No, seriously, because like years ago you might have probably, you know, you strike
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
back, but now I probably would have engaged and been a little upset. It's not even worth the time anymore. There's a bigger picture out there. I've got my son, I've got my family, I've got my work that I'm extremely proud of. The movie coming out. There's too much good to be pent up with anybody else's negativity.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Good for you, Christina. Agnes,
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
are there any more children in your future?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
I would love that. I would love that one day. But not right now, not today. Yeah, eventually I would like to give Max a brother or a sister, but right now, Bionic is the baby.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
And you know, when the album came out four years ago, I think it sold like 1.6, 1.7 million albums or something like that. When you're taking a look at Bionic, is the pressure on you to sell more than the original or is that not have anything to do with you considering it successful or not?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Oh, I never consider numbers to contribute to any sort of success or non success. You know, I mean, my artistry sort of comes first because if I don't get it out of me, I feel suffocated. So I have to sort of do what feels best for me and what makes me more comfortable, most comfortable. Even if it's, you know, financially not the best thing to do or, you know, I mean, actually in shooting my video, I came a little out of my own pocket because I had an idea creatively that I really wanted to do and there was some little label. Label Wars. But it's all good because I don't mind extending myself a little bit to get what I want done creatively.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Now, why are you calling it bionic? Where does that come from?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
So many different things. I exhaust myself just talking about them all. But bionic, I think, is definitely a result of having my son feeling superhuman in a way as well. Us women, I mean, what. We give birth, we give life, we hold down the forts, we work, we do it all, man. And I'm just so proud of coming full circle and having had my son and learning these new things about me. I do feel superhuman, in a sense. I feel bionic.
Jeff (Co-host)
Well, coming back full circle, Christina, you talked about how you feel more comfortable in your own skin and how you've evolved. What do you tell women who may look at this album and say, well, now that you have a family and now that you're a mother, you really shouldn't try to be or feel sexy because it's too sexy? Was back in the day. Yeah. Now you're a mommy. What do you say to those women?
Caller or Listener
No.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Yeah. To each their own. You know, some people just don't feel. Some people have a heightened sexuality than others. I'm a very sexual person, so part of me going into wanting to be a mother was making sure that I don't leave me behind. And being a sexual person was one of the. You know, he's growing up in a house where, as I said, mentioned the artwork and whatnot. He's going to respect women's beauty and, you know, the female body. And I think it's important that he sees mommy not be ashamed of her sexuality, and that I'm going to be able to express myself. And he's just going to grow up thinking that that's normal and that that's the norm. You can't leave yourself behind.
Joanna (Show Contributor)
Well, Jeff and I on the show got to go to Trickie Stewart's Grammy party, and we saw you out there in la. Yeah, I was really curious. Do you enjoy going out to those parties and those clubs, or is that just a function of your job, or do you actually have fun when you and your husband get to go out and do that kind of thing?
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Did you say you saw me there?
Joanna (Show Contributor)
I did see you there. You looked gorgeous.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
I don't know how long you stayed, but I think your question would be answered if you saw me and what I was doing at the later part of the night, I had a lot of fun at.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
I want to know what you did.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen Advertiser
What happened?
Jeff (Co-host)
We did make It.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
There we go. At the later part of the night,
Jen (Co-host)
we definitely saw it, but we thought it'd be better if you told us.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
You are hilarious. Okay, so that was a setup. I get it.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
Well, good luck with the new album. On June 8th is the official release date correct.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Thank you. Yes.
Burt (Host of The Burt Show)
And good luck with everything. You sound great.
Christina Aguilera (Guest)
Thank you. So do you guys. Thank you guys.

Throughout, listeners are encouraged to interact and participate, solidifying The Bert Show’s reputation as a community-driven morning show.
[01:03 – 09:21]
Synopsis:
Intern Bianca presents a suggestion to improve the show, specifically voicing her impression that Joanna comes across as self-centered and sometimes discusses topics listeners may find trivial.
Highlights:
“The only thing that irks my nerves is when you all put Joanna on air and talk about nonsense...I don’t understand why she is so self centered.” — Intern Bianca [02:41]
“I come on the radio to talk about our life stories. Not about next door neighbor’s life, story about ours. So it’s my stories.” — Joanna [07:08]
“Sometimes a woman with a strong opinion, they're like, oh, my God, she gets on my nerves so much because she talks, blah, blah, blah.” [10:42]
[13:03 – 25:36]
Synopsis:
Mark calls in with a sticky situation: he repaired a friend's computer and found explicit photos of her with a married friend of his—photos he suspects were intentionally placed for him to see.
Discussion Points:
Highlights:
“Guys play checkers. Women play chess. That’s the name of my new book.” [16:07]
“He should totally stay out of it. Play stupid. He didn’t see it...let it go.” — Caller Tammy [22:49]
“I want to step to him and tell him about it, but then I can’t, because that serves her purpose.” [17:30]
“I think you always have to consider, how much do you want to get involved? How much do you want to be in the middle of all this?” [18:51]
[26:15 – 35:40]
Synopsis:
Christina Aguilera joins the show to talk about her new album “Bionic,” changes in her life since becoming a mother, body image, industry rumors, and personal growth.
Discussion Points:
“I’ve been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for itself.” — Christina Aguilera [31:19]
“I never consider numbers to contribute to any sort of success or non success. My artistry sort of comes first...” [32:28]
[36:20 – 40:14]
Synopsis:
The team runs a recurring, lighthearted trivia segment: callers must guess the five "most well-endowed" male celebrities. Many callers guess, but none get all five right.
Highlights:
“Dude, what’s he gonna say? Yay, I got three penises, right?” [38:16]
On Show Improvement Critique:
“The only thing that irks my nerves is when y' all put Joanna on the air.” — Intern Bianca [03:41]
On Women & Competition:
“Why do women envy each other? Shouldn't women be happy to see other women doing something good?” — Intern Bianca [03:04]
On Friendship & Loyalty:
“Your friend, he put himself in a mess of situation. So as a friend, I would still talk to my friend...and let him know, you know, you might have a situation with this girl because she's pretty messy.” — Caller Monica [21:38]
Christina Aguilera on Confidence:
“For me, seeing your body do these things you never thought possible. And then sort of, you know, when you have a baby, you go through a period where your body just is not your own...once you bounce back from that...I feel better than ever.” [28:01]
