---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Gift-Giving Guide for New Relationships

(01:01 – 11:49)

• The hosts break down recommended gift ideas based on how long you've been dating someone, with plenty of jokes about sending the wrong message with the wrong gift.

• Early Stages:

  • 1–2 weeks: Simple gestures like a phone call or a thoughtful card.

    “A card with a thoughtful note, but not to go overboard… this is like a week to two weeks before you just went out on your first or second take.” (02:01, F)

  • 2–4 weeks: A romantic dinner or a simple, conversation-inspired gift.

    “Say he told you what his all time favorite movie was… getting him that.” (03:03, F)

  • 1–4 months: A thoughtful but not expensive present, like tickets to an event or that sweater they pointed out.

    “You definitely need to do the gift. And it should be thoughtful but not too expensive.” (03:43, F)

  • 4–6 months: Hotel overnight stays, an iPod, or something more personalized.
  • 6+ months: Weekend trips or sentimental gifts—maybe even “boyfriend/girlfriend” talk.
  • 3+ years: Time for diamonds!

    “And if you plan to get married, what are you waiting for? Because you know, like Beyonce said, like…” (05:54, F)

• Notable moments:

  • Running gag about "Hickory Farms waxy sausage log” as a questionable gift.

    “Where would you put a waxy sausage log?” (05:02, E)

  • Joke recommendations of buying gifts for the parents:

    “At what point in the chart do you have to buy gifts for the parents?” (07:42, E)

• Exceptions to the rules:

  • If you were friends before dating, adjust the timeline forward.

    "If you've been friends for a really long time... then you have to fast forward a step or two, wouldn't you say?" (06:51, F)

  • If you’ve met the parents or live together, escalate the gift stage accordingly.
  • If you share pets, treat your relationship as more advanced.

• Listener caller Tiffany asks about navigating gift-giving after breaking up and getting back together.

  “We dated for about four months. We broke it off for about a month, and now we're back together…” (08:38, G)
  Advice: Resume from the full length of the relationship.

• Lingerie and romantic gifts:

  • The hosts debate when lingerie as a gift is appropriate. Consensus: at least six months.

    “At what stage can guys give women lingerie?” (17:17, F) “Six months.” (10:27, A)

2. Listener Cruise Companion Search – The Resolution

(12:54 – 21:18)

• Background:
  • Recap of Richard’s situation: He bought a New Year's cruise for himself and his then-girlfriend, who bowed out. His friend Pam suggested he ask for a Bert Show listener to join instead.

    “Richard was in a bit of a pickle because he was going on… a five night cruise… The girl didn't want to go.” (13:04, E)

• Process:
  • Richard asked listeners to apply—requirements: available week of New Year's, passport, spontaneous.
  • Surprising host: He received many emails, quickly narrowed it down to two, then picked one after meeting them both.

    “Once the contact info went on the website, email and phone calls just started flooding in.” (15:32, D)

• The Big Reveal:
  • Richard chooses Christy Sanders, who joins the call.

    “Richard, you have chosen Christy Sanders. Christy Sanders. And coincidentally, she happens to be on hold on line five.” (17:02, E)

  • Christy shares she applied after coworkers (and her boss) heard about it and encouraged her to email in—what started as an office joke turned real.

    “Two of my co-workers are big Bert Show fans… one of my bosses posted the line for me.” (17:58, G)

  • Christy reflects on first impressions: low expectations, but they hit it off.

    “I was expecting… not really like him or think, oh my gosh, he is so annoying… But he was actually, you know, funny and we had a lot to talk about and. Yeah. So why not?” (19:00, G)

• Hosts’ banter and farewells:
  • Playful concern about Christy’s safety (“If I’m murdered at sea…”), promises of cruise photos, plans for a follow-up interview after their return.

    “Can you give us your word that you will not smother Christy?” (20:03, E) – "I swear." (20:08, D)

  • All agree to follow up after the trip to see how the adventure went.

---

Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “It’s a solid present that says nothing. That’s what you’re looking for, right?” (03:31, B)
• “Three years or more and you haven’t done diamonds. You gotta go, okay? You gotta go for it.” (06:06, F)
• “You can drive over there in your Team Nissan laser.” (06:37, B) – showcasing the group’s playful, ad-heavy humor
• “Can you give us your word that you will not smother Christy?” (20:03, E)
• “If I’m murdered at CSV…” (19:54, G) – dark humor, but all in the spirit of the show
• “I was expecting… not really like him… But he was actually funny and we had a lot to talk about…” (19:00, G)

Summary Takeaways

• Navigating new relationships involves balancing thoughtfulness and caution with gift-giving—but ultimately, communication and context matter most.

Watch what you're capable of. Watch it work. Get started [e-mail] the bird show.

[B]

Jen is dating right now and she found herself in this tweener stage here. Because you can. The present that you give makes it. It's a tremendous symbol for your relationship.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

And you could send the wrong message. If you've just been dating the first couple of months or a couple of weeks, you go too over the top on it. He'll get freaked out.

[D]

Oh, my gosh.

[E]

He loves me like a tattoo.

[B]

Tattoo's too much. Yeah.

[F]

Yeah. And I think this goes both way for men and for women. I think men can over give too. I mean, if you're just starting out dating, you don't need to be giving her diamonds right off the bat if you've just started dating because it's like, whoa, buddy. A little too much. Yeah. So, yeah. So we started this a couple of days ago, this gift formula for the newly dating. And we put together a couple things. You want me to review, like the beginning of what we already covered, and then we'll go to longer relationships. Because we started with like one to two weeks. We said like a phone call on that day, whether that's Christmas or Hanukkah or New Year's or whatever the holiday is that you celebr on that day.

[B]

Quan's Honomus.

[F]

Quant, Hanomus, Boxing Day, Chinese New Year, whatever it is, a phone call on that day would be nice. And then we said a card with a thoughtful note, but not to go overboard. Like you guys had said, maybe an ornament or like lottery tickets or something. This is like a week to two weeks before you just went out on your first or second take.

[E]

Like Scratch off tickets.

[F]

Yeah, I think that's cool.

[E]

That's what grandma?

[B]

Right before you eat your fish fillet over at McDonald's. Chef.

[C]

Yes, you could.

[B]

Go ahead.

[E]

Hey, man, it's the filet of fish. Because it's clearly an Irish dish, right?

[B]

I could just see Jeff now with his McDonald's filet of fish right here, his lottery tickets on the left and his Publisher's Clearinghouse stuff on the right.

[E]

Hi, can I have a filet o fish?

[C]

No. And you have to be thumbing through your Reader's Digest in order.

[F]

Large print glasses, some.

[C]

Because you know you can make money if you send in an article.

[F]

Go ahead, you're sending a joke. So then we said, really?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Can we get back to the list, please?

[F]

Two to four weeks. Like if you've been dating a couple of weeks, depending on how much you've seen each other in those weeks, we said like a romantic dinner at a restaurant or at home or a small gift, something like simple and sweet, showing your interest in being romantic. But it would be like say he told you what his all time favorite movie was on dvd getting him that. Or like her favorite book she read in college. Something that is significant from the conversations that you've had. But nothing that is like way too over the top because it's still only within that one month Twainer stage.

[B]

It's a solid present that says nothing. That's what you're looking for, right? It doesn't say I love you and it doesn't say I'm not into you. It just says I'm being nice right now.

[F]

The one to four months is the next stage. And we said definite gift time here. If it's been over a month and up to four, you definitely need to do the gift. And it should be thoughtful but not too expensive. You're not trying to buy their love at this stage. So we said a great idea would be tickets to an event together. Like a sporting, you know, a sporting event, concerts, a museum exhibit, whatever it is that you guys are into or interests that you share. And then we had also said the sweater or dress that she had pointed out at some point, maybe get her that. Or for a guy, if he had pointed out like a shirt in the mall, like cool button down shirt or something like that. One to four months, right? Okay, we're still doing right here.

[C]

Yeah. And leave it at that.

[F]

We said four to six months. At that stage it goes a little bit more. And then we had to like go for the new golf club or the ipod or like an artistic piece or even like a hotel overnight stay because you're getting more romantic. This is up to six months of dating. Are we good here?

[B]

I'm solid on it because I'm waiting

[F]

on you guys because I don't know.

[B]

And there have been their comments up online right now. This is all going to be on q100atlanta.com and you guys can comment on them and adjust them if you want also.

[F]

And it is up right now because that's what I'm going off of right now.

[E]

So did you cover the Hickory Farms waxy sausage log yet?

[F]

Where does that fit in? Is that like one to four months?

[E]

Where would you put a waxy sausage log?

[B]

I think we know the answer.

[F]

That was way too obvious. Jeff, come on. I expect more out of you.

[B]

Not anymore you're not.

[F]

You're not really laughing at that joke.

[C]

Yeah, he is. He's.

[F]

You're laughing at yourself for that one.

[E]

No, it's just memories because that was my high school band. No waxy sausage.

[F]

Look. No, it wasn't.

[C]

It's Friday.

[F]

Yeah, I'm a little lost on the getting that virus.

[B]

Be strong.

[F]

Okay. And then I said six months or more. You're in a full on relationship at that point. If you're not saying boyfriend or girlfriend, this is probably the stage to do that. Establish that situation. And then it could be more like going on a weekend or a week away together or maybe booking a trip like months in advance from now or things that are more sentimental like a framed photo and that kind of thing. Right?

[B]

That sounds okay.

[C]

Okay.

[F]

And I said three years or more. If you haven't bought a diamond anything yet, do it. And if you plan to get married, what are you waiting for? Because you know, like Beyonce said, like

[C]

Beyonce said, if you. If you like it, then shit, yeah.

[F]

Three years or more and you haven't done diamonds. You gotta go, okay? You gotta go for it.

[B]

And what is a good. I mean, because the economy is so bad right now. What is a good alternative from diamonds? If you wanted to give jewelry a different stubborn.

[F]

Well, if you go to see my friends at the Shane Company, they have diamonds, ruby, sapphires and pearls.

[B]

Hey, so does Solomon Brothers jewelry. How about that?

[E]

And just so you know, if you need a loan to get your diamond, you can go to Georgia's own credit union.

[C]

But what you should do is you should call them with your Metro PCs one to make sure that you're getting the greatest deal.

[B]

You could drive over there in your Team Nissan laser.

[A]

Hair removal does not Relate to any of the.

[G]

I got nothing.

[E]

Neither does leverage. Tuesday nights, 10pm on TNT. But I'll still get it in somehow.

[F]

Okay. Okay. So I was saying exceptions to these rules would be if you've been friends for a really long time, like six months to seven, and you've just now become romantic, then you have to fast forward a step or two, wouldn't you say?

[C]

Are we complicating it, though?

[B]

I would agree with that because there's obviously, you guys know each other, right? So it's accelerated.

[C]

Did we go from six months to three years? Did we just jump? Or we.

[B]

Well, there was Jeff talking about his

[F]

nut roll in between, but there's a couple other exceptions.

[E]

Let me get through this.

[F]

Let me get through this. Sausage log. Okay. I said, if you've met the parents, then you should fast forward one step because if you've met the parents, then they will ask what you gave or. And you have to have an answer for that.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[F]

Also said, if you live together, you should fast forward to the last step. And if you share pets that you adopted or purchased together, then fast forward to the last step because you already moved fast enough.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

And at what point in the chart do you have to buy gifts for the parents?

[F]

Oh, that's marriage.

[E]

Oh, not until then.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

All right.

[F]

I don't think.

[C]

And.

[B]

And not before engaged. No.

[E]

I think you need to do it before. I think.

[C]

Well, I think it depends on if you. If you know that that's where it's leading to. I think if you know that. I mean, I. I just think sometimes.

[F]

Yeah, maybe, maybe. Because I know.

[C]

I know in our relationship, I don't know if it was our first or second Christmas that we gave a general gift to the other family. So it wasn't just specific members of that family, but like there was an exchange of gifts to the general family.

[B]

You gave them a signed picture of

[C]

yourself, just like Tyra. What would Tyra do?

[E]

It was like a dowry.

[G]

Yeah.

[E]

Here's two goats and a chicken.

[C]

And oddly enough, it was a sausage roll, so.

[B]

Hey, Tiffany. Good morning. You're on Q100.

[G]

Good morning. How are you guys?

[B]

Good. How are you today?

[G]

Pretty good. I have a Christmas question.

[B]

All right.

[G]

I've been dating somebody. We dated for about four months. We broke it off for about a month, and now we're back together. So it's still kind of in that odd re. Dating time. We're not going to be spending Christmas together, and I really have no idea if I should even get Anything.

[B]

I think that the. Well, if you guys are back with each other, then I think it's. You don't take it from the one month period. I think you take it from the four month period.

[F]

I agree.

[G]

Really?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. You have history there. You just can't erase it. Because you broke up for three hours so he could go hook up with somebody else.

[E]

Yeah. And I think it's also, you have to take into account what anniversary you'll be celebrating because most people who break up and then get back together, don't they stick with the first anniversary?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

In between.

[B]

But you actually sound like you're still not even all that into the relationship.

[G]

Well, I am. I'm just, you know, taking caution. So I'm a little held back with it now.

[B]

He cheat on you?

[G]

No, no, nothing like that.

[E]

You cheat on him?

[G]

No.

[E]

How come?

[G]

No cheating.

[A]

How come?

[G]

No.

[B]

Why are you looking at his brother the way you are?

[G]

Well, you know, that's a different story. I'll call you another day for that.

[C]

What she's trying to ask is what to give him.

[E]

Hey, just. You may not know this for a fact, but just like a guesstimate, how many girls do you think you had sex with while you guys were broken up?

[C]

Oh, my God.

[F]

Why can't you ask her the same question?

[G]

Yeah, I'm. I'm pretty positive it was zero.

[E]

But how about you? How many guys?

[G]

I hooked up with one guy. We didn't sleep together, but I hooked

[E]

up with one guy.

[B]

Oh, come on. And Bill Clinton didn't inhale.

[F]

That's what we all say, sweetie.

[B]

Aren't you glad you called? Oh, no. Thanks for calling. Bye.

[F]

Bye. I want to know when is lingerie appropriate? Lingerie came up the other day.

[A]

Right.

[F]

At what stage can guys give women lingerie?

[A]

Six months.

[B]

There is going to be a fine line of creepy here.

[A]

I say six months.

[B]

Six months. Yeah, maybe so.

[F]

It depends on.

[B]

There's a different kind of lingerie also, like, I think the stuff that you got today is a lot different than that. Well, that's a skanky Fredericks of Hollywood jokey lingerie anytime.

[F]

Jokey lingerie works. What about a couple's massage? Where does that fit in on the timeline?

[B]

I think you can go after six

[E]

months on that one.

[F]

Can't you not be four?

[E]

Couples massage will be the same time as the hotel stay. So where was that in there?

[F]

That was four to six months.

[B]

And again, if you're gonna err, err on the side of caution here, of waiting too long.

[F]

What happened about just being in love and acting with abandon?

[B]

Bert.

[F]

No, no.

[B]

It's all about game playing in the beginning. You know that.

[E]

Okay, it's all about hand.

[F]

What do you mean you know that?

[B]

I don't know. But as soon as I said it, I regretted it. And I was hoping you weren't going

[F]

to acknowledge it now that she acknowledged it.

[C]

Now I understand what you're saying.

[E]

Hey, good morning. Good morning.

[F]

Jamie, you're on Qs.

[E]

Oh my God. The two of you are dating.

[B]

Nailed us.

[C]

But now that they've been together for six years that you know, what do

[F]

you get after six years?

[E]

Sick of each other.

[B]

I think we all know that.

[E]

The bird show.

[A]

This is the new Weight Watchers built for real life and real results no matter what mode you're in. Maddie went all in for her big day and lost 33 pounds. Emily lost 85 pounds and hit her goal while still living her life.

[F]

[E]

If you were listening yesterday, Wendy, you were out. So you missed this. Totally missed this. But we talked to a guy named Richard and Richard was in a bit of a pickle because he was going

[C]

on not Rich's words, but Jeff's words.

[E]

Oh yeah, Richard was don't talk.

[C]

I'm stuttering.

[E]

Had big plans to go on a vacation with a girl. So he bought the vacation and it was a five night, five night cruise down to the Caribbean where you would actually be at sea at midnight on New Year's Eve.

[B]

Oh, that's awesome.

[E]

It's a huge party on a cruise ship. Seems like a great plan to everyone except for the girl. She didn't want to go.

[F]

Why?

[E]

So the. That is. That's the mystery we're trying to solve, but it's irrelevant.

[F]

Okay.

[E]

Because we're moving forward.

[C]

That's right.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

That's progress.

[E]

So, Richard, tell us. Tell us where this came from. You just having the cause, you would go to waste. Right? Like, they don't give you your money back.

[D]

Well, the point is, I want to go on a cruise.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

I could have refunded for half, but what's the fun of that, right?

[E]

So Richard had the trip.

[F]

Okay.

[E]

And was it your idea, or did your friends put you up to get in touch with him?

[D]

Once again, I gotta thank Pam for that idea of calling the Burch show and going through this.

[C]

She was here with you yesterday, right?

[B]

That's right.

[C]

Yeah. Good job, Pam.

[E]

So Richard came on and told that story in a little more detail and kind of explained who he was and what he was looking for. And if he found a compatible woman, they would go on the trip together.

[A]

Oh, so you're trying to find a girl to bring?

[C]

Yeah, because we were talking yesterday about

[E]

how have you been in those cruise cabins?

[F]

Well, I was gonna say you could

[A]

bring, like, a dude, and y' all could be two single dudes looking for a girl to make out with on New Year's Eve, and it would work out. Then you would have other two days to hook up.

[C]

It's gonna be like college where their dorm room where they bring them into the sock on the door. Yeah, if I have a sock on the handle, that means don't come in.

[F]

Don't come in.

[E]

I don't know how many single girls, though, would be on a cruise. I think it's a couples deal, right?

[A]

Is it a couple's cruise?

[E]

No, but I mean, I think.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I went on vacation once with Vince West, a friend of mine, and I would just prefer to go with a girlfriend.

[E]

I totally understand that. And plus, I just think going with on New Year's Eve, like, going with another guy, like, I think you're. I think the majority of those cruisers will probably be coupled off already.

[F]

Okay.

[D]

Mostly because it's New Year's, so it's kind of a New Year's couple thing.

[E]

Right.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

So he put the alert out yesterday. He described what kind of girl he would be looking for. He told us a little bit about himself, and we set up an email for him, and we set up a voicemail for him, and people were commenting on the blog that was on, you know, the picture that was on our website. So how was the. Were you pleasantly surprised or amazingly disappointed in the response?

[D]

I was Pretty surprised. Bert was making it sound like it's a small net. There's only a couple people out there that could fit this criteria of having a week off, having a passport, and be crazy enough to do this. So once the contact info went on the website, email and phone calls just started flooding in. So I spent most of the day yesterday reading through emails and tried to narrow it down to a dozen or so, began emailing back and forth with a few, and then narrowed it down to two.

[C]

Okay, wow, two, fast.

[E]

Did you. The majority of the correspondence was via email?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

And then you picked up the phone and called these people like, hey, what's up? It's Richard, actually.

[D]

I just set up two dates for last night.

[C]

Okay. Met him for the first time in person. Perfect. Well, Wendy says fast because, I mean, tomorrow's Christmas Eve. Christmas. The ship leaves on Monday, and the girl's gonna have to find her way down to Tampa. Right. That's where they're leaving. So, I mean, everything's having to go pretty fast.

[A]

That's impressive for a dude to narrow it down that fast, you know, like,

[F]

I mean, we had Trey on.

[A]

Trey couldn't even do it in months.

[C]

Two months. So.

[E]

So. So are you available to get married on January 17th if this works out? Gotcha. So you narrowed it down to the two, and the two people that you brought, you had the separate dates with, were they both well represented? Represented based on the emails and the conversations you had early?

[D]

Yes, they were. They were very, very good.

[E]

All right. And from those two, have you decided on one that you would like to invite?

[D]

I have.

[E]

All right, we have some sort of drum roll or something, Sean, or other weird noise that you can make. That'll work. Richard, you have chosen Christy Sanders. Christy Sanders. And coincidentally, she happens to be on hold on line five.

[D]

Nice.

Hi, Christy.

[C]

Hey, Christy.

[F]

Hi.

[E]

How are you?

[G]

I'm good. I really didn't know you were gonna say my last name, though. That's a nice surprise.

[E]

Oh, by Sanders, we meant Farmer. Just so you know, it's all coders on the show.

[G]

Wow.

[E]

You're not married or anything, are you?

[G]

At this point, no.

[E]

Okay, well, congratulations.

[C]

Are you looking forward to this trip?

[G]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. A little nervous, a little apprehensive, but yeah, definitely.

[E]

Well, now, tell us about Richard, because you obviously, first of all, what compelled you to send in the email yesterday?

[G]

Two of my co workers are big Burt show fans. I actually didn't hear the broadcast yesterday, but I came into work yesterday morning and they were talking about this and we were looking on the website and just like tossing around, like, funny lines to post. And actually one of my bosses posted the line for me.

[C]

Well, then there should be no problem you getting off work since your boss is in there helping.

[E]

Right?

[G]

Exactly. Yeah. That was what I asked yesterday afternoon when I had gotten an email back. I was like, well, if I'm actually chosen, can I have next week off? And they said they would work something out. So we'll see.

[E]

So this started out as like a joke, like, hey, let's make fun of the Richard guy on the radio. But now it's progressed into, I mean, you're clearly in love.

[G]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll be married on New Year's Eve. Or not, actually, but.

[E]

So you got the email back from him and obviously decided to meet him last night. So that was your opinion. Obviously changed from kind of jokey to, wow, this is kind of cool. At some point.

[G]

Yeah, I had really low expectations. Like, I was expecting to go and meet him for a drink and, you know, not really like him or think, oh, my gosh, he is so annoying. I could never, you know, go on a cruise. But he was actually, you know, funny and we had a lot to talk about and. Yeah. So why not?

[E]

So you are prepared to leave then next Monday, less than a week away, and go hang out in the Caribbean for New Year's?

[B]

Yes.

[E]

That's so cool.

[C]

Yeah. Now we had thank Pam and Rich's friend Pam for putting him up to this. Was there somebody that put you up to this, Christy?

[G]

My co workers. They know who they are.

[C]

They know who they are. Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

And I'm sure they're listening because I

[C]

have their names here, so I just didn't know. You may give them a shout out. Don't do that because you know that Pam and your co workers who shall not be named will be the ones that if something happens to work out on.

[E]

Oh, yeah, they'll take credit for that forever.

[C]

Credit for this.

[G]

Right. But, you know, if I'm murdered at CSV.

[C]

Oh, no, that is the last show before Christmas. We're not going to talk about bad things.

[E]

Richard, can you give us your word that you will not smother Christy?

[D]

I swear.

[E]

Okay, so that's cool. Hey, so Christy, congratulations. That's cool.

[C]

Yes. Oh, we gotta have pictures of the crew. So you promised us pictures.

[E]

And Richard, congratulations.

[D]

Thank you.

[E]

This could be. Now I'm going to channel Bert because he's not here. No, this could be. If you end up murdered. It's fate. But if you're not going to, it's going to be a good thing, and you guys are going to go have a great time. So that makes it everyone all together now.

[A]

All right, Destiny.

[F]

Yay.

[E]

Congratulations. Nicely done. Hey, Christy and Richard, I assume you got to have each other's information, right?

[D]

Yes.

[E]

All right, cool. I'll let you go now, Christy.

[G]

All right, thanks.

[E]

Congratulations. And we're going to talk to you afterwards and find out how it went. Is that cool?

[G]

Okay.

[E]

All right, cool.

[A]

Don't die.

[E]

Thanks.

[C]

Sorry. He's standing right here, everybody.

[E]

He can hear you.

[F]

He can hear you.

[C]

He's right here.

[E]

Well, Richard, we're glad to help. Congratulations.

[D]

Thanks for the opportunity.

[C]

All right, no worries.

[E]

And please do send us pictures, and we'll probably follow up with you on the day you get back from the cruise, and we'll. You're back on what day?

[D]

Third.

[F]

On the third.

[E]

So we're back on the air on the fifth. So we'll talk to you at this time on the 5th and find out how it went.

[D]

All right, sounds good.

[B]

All right.

[E]

Unless you're busy hiding a body or something crazy. Stop the bircha.
