Major Segments & Key Discussion Points

---

1. Phone Scam: The Singing Store Greeter Prank

[00:32 – 06:14]

• Setup: Jeff (prank caller, in character) calls Scott Nimrod/Sean, pretending to offer a management job with an unexpected twist: the role requires singing personalized greeting songs to every customer.

• Jeff invents elaborate expectations (composition, training staff, live singing at the door), and Scott gamely rolls with the joke—culminating in two live song performances over the phone.

• Memorable Song Lyrics (Scott):

  “Welcome today to it is Sniggers. Deals we have are very pretty. Cameras and phones and DVDs. The stuff we have is sure to please...”
  [04:03]

• The Reveal: Jeff finally confesses Scott is on the radio and part of a phone scam, all orchestrated with the help of Scott's roommate.

• Notable Quote:

  • Jeff: “I’ve got zero to do with that store. I don’t make any hiring decisions. And the second is, you have sung on the radio… you’ve just been phone scammed.” [05:15]

• Ends with Scott taking it all in stride:

  “We will, we will scam you.” [06:01]

2. Catching Up with Father Ricardo Bailey

[06:14 – 16:27]

• Intro: Father Bailey joins the show, teasing about his early-morning struggles as a regular guest and referencing a recent New York Times article about his unique presence on Atlanta radio.

• Fun Banter: Joking about future “Father Bailey action figures,” Hot Wheels, and his “Father mobile car,” the cast highlights his growing public persona and community impact.

  • Burt: “You’re getting ready to blow up, dude. I’m telling you!” [08:08]

  Burt reads the article excerpt about Father Bailey blending priesthood and pop culture on their show, with gentle ribbing about pronunciation and humility.

  • Father Bailey: “I look at [the article] as a wonderful means of showing people a different aspect of the priesthood, that priests are human too… most of all, we have fun.” [09:22]

• Father Bailey’s Segment: Lessons from Hollywood via David Hasselhoff

  • Topic: Hasselhoff’s public tears on “American Idol” and the stigma of men expressing emotion.

  • Father Bailey’s Take: Relates Hasselhoff’s vulnerability to biblical examples of crying, urging men to embrace their emotions without shame.

    • “Women love a sensitive man… Game recognize game, player.” [11:16]
    • “There are many reasons and circumstances that can touch the emotions we hold inside.” [11:29]

  • Humorously details what makes him cry: bad hygiene, smelly armpits, bad breath, and “funky feet”—injecting personal stories and classic radio relatability.

  • Shares a poignant memory of his ordination and the emotions tied to community and tradition.

  • Key Message:

    • “Don’t be a hater if I cry. Therefore, Atlanta, Jesus did it… There cannot be any shame in your gizzain.” [15:28]

  • Finishes with shoutouts to his parish and community members.

[16:27 – 26:06]

  • “For every pound you lose, your partner who has been mean... has to ride Goliath for each pound you lose.” — Alana [16:43]

• Listener Sean & Wife Cindy: Emotional & Physical Transformations

  • Cindy candidly admits on-air that she is concerned about Sean’s weight, not just for health reasons but physical attraction, too.

• Update on Progress

    • Reports 8.5 pounds lost in 5 days,
    • “At the beginning, I was only wearing sweatpants... I wore a suit the other day—I had so much space in this suit already.” — Sean [24:44]
  • Cindy’s unexpectedly supportive—mostly! Occasional slip-ups with tempting desserts are mentioned.
  • Sean notes the difficulty of nutrition compared to working out:

    “With the nutrition, I’m all by myself… it’s more self-motivation.” [23:06]

  • Alana emphasizes the challenges of maintaining healthy eating while traveling and staying consistent.
  • Wins & Challenges: 11.5 pounds lost so far, new habits developing, relationship dynamic shifting (“She lasted three days walking with me and fell off” — Sean [25:44]).

Face each threat head on. We've earned our place in the fight for our nation's future.

[Burt]

We are Marines.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

We were made for this extra value.

[Co-host]

[Burt]

The Birch Show. Phone scam on all the hits. G100.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Hello.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Looking for Scott Nimrod, please.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

That's me.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Hey, Scott. How are you?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I'm real good.

[Co-host]

Good.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Hey, this is Bert Hobby calling from the corporate office.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Going over your application, the information you submitted, the notes from your interview and whatnot.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Terrific.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

And I want to talk to you about a position with our company.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I'm sorry, what's your name again?

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

My name is Bert.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Hi.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Here's the dealio. I know you are looking for something along the lines of management. And it isn't for lack of qualification that we're not going to be able to offer you a management position. But that's the bad news. I have some good news. We've got a new corporate initiative.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Right.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

And we would love for you to head that initiative up at one of our Atlanta area stores.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Well, great. What does it entail?

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

We are going to start greeting customers when they come through the doors. And we're going to have a manager and a whole staff, and they're going to be the greeters, and they essentially are going to know everything there is to know about the store. You're going to know a little bit about every single product. You might not be able to go into super details about a digital camera or a hard drive and a particular laptop or the rating of a dvd, but you will at least be able to tell them ballpark about the choices they have here in the store. Okay, Got it.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I don't have to wear a funny costume or anything, do I?

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

No, not at all. You'll be at the door and you'll be wearing this standard whatnot. You'll have a name tag on. What we want to do, though, is to set us apart. I mean, obviously there's dozens of home electronics stores out there to set us apart. What I want to have us do here is when the customer comes in the store, I'd love them to be greeted with a song. And we are going to make our greetings person greetings manager, which is what we're talking to you about right now responsible for writing a song.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

And how often would I have to come up with a song?

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Well, every customer gets a song, and we'd want to rotate it about two, three times a week, you know, so that every.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I'd also be singing it with some of the staff. Is that.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Well, you would train the other greeting staff, but you'd be the principal. You'd be the main singer of it.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Well.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

And you would be the lyricist. You'd have to come up with the lyrics. And if it. You know, certainly no musical instrument is required, but if you're skilled with a harmonica or something, you know, or a guitar, go ahead, get to Rome, whatever, break it out, you know.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

And I guess I'd be getting directives from the manager about what I should be, well, kind of like singing about. I mean, what's on sale or what's being offered. Well, got to keep on top of that.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

What I would like you to do now is I'm gonna call you back in 30 minutes and I want you to have a song ready for me.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Okie doke. All right, I'll give it a shot.

[Co-host]

Thanks.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

All right, see you, buddy.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

By.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Hello, Scotty. Yeah, what's up?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Well, I got something for you.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

I am ready.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Okay. Now, if I had a little more time, I think it would even be better. But I think this is pretty good for the amount of time I was given.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Do you mind if I put you on speakerphone? I want everybody to be able to hear this.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Go ahead.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

All right, go ahead.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Welcome today to it is Sniggers. Deals we have are all very pretty Cameras and phones and DVDs. The stuff we have is sure to please shop around and stay a while if you have a question we'll help with the smile. Enjoy your stay at.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Today. I like it.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yeah.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Could I hear it one more time? But have you really belted out with feeling like. Let's say it's a Saturday afternoon and this is our prime time this is when this is it. I have just walked in to see the Snickers. What do I hear?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Welcome today to see the Snickers deals we have are oh so pretty Cameras and phones and DVDs the stuff we have is sure to please shop around Stay a while if you have a question we'll help with a smile Enjoy your stay at the.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Can I ask you a question?

[Co-host]

Sure.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Have you ever sung on the radio?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

No.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Never?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Nope.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

All right. Well, that was very good. And I've got two pieces of news for you. One is the bad news. I've got zero to do with that store. I don't make any hiring decisions. And the second is you have sung on the radio. As a matter of fact, you have twice now in the past five minutes. This is actually Jeff with the Burt show. It all the hits, Q100 and you've just been phone scammed.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

This is so weird because I did get a call on my answering machine saying that Data Snickers called and I was going to call them back and then I got you guys called in. So I thought that's what it was all about.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Well, you know what? Sometimes it all comes down to timing and the assistance of somebody called Eric, who is your roommate. So you can thank him for this and sing to him all night long.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Fabulous. Well, thanks a lot. This is really crazy. We will, we will scam you.

[Burt]

The bird show. How are you today, Father Bailey?

[Co-host]

I'm great, man. I mean it is early as I don't know what.

[Burt]

We usually bring you in between 6:30 and 7.

[Co-host]

Yeah. You know, but you know, coming up, this earlier reminds me when I'm in Rome, man, waiting for the Pope. I mean this is unbelievable, man.

[Burt]

It's a stupid hour. Like every now and then I will get up, the alarm will go off at 3:30. And I've told these guys this before where I will look at the clock and I will just say, this is, this is stupid. This is just dumb to be this up this early in the morning.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

You say that every now and again?

[Burt]

Yeah, like every day.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Yeah, every day.

[Co-host]

I was at a party last night, right? And you know, we were just getting crocked up and everything, having fun, you know, with church folks. That's how we do. And the funny thing about it is I'm looking at my clock, it's like 10 o'. Clock. I'm thinking, man, I gotta be at the birth show at 6, you know what I'm saying? And then, you know, my pastor's still hanging around and everybody else still chilling out. I'm like, man, yo man, we gotta bounce, bro. I mean, I gotta be at the studio at 6 o'.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Clock.

[Co-host]

So I get to my, my room, I set my alarm, I said like all my alarms, I had like seven alarms. And I set them all over my room, all over my suite for different times so I can make sure I get up. I got up at 3:30 and I could not go back to bed. And I know this afternoon is going to be hectic, man. It's going to be nothing nice, but it's okay.

[Burt]

You're going to hit the wall about. I'll tell you your future. You're going to hit the wall about 3 o'. Clock.

[Co-host]

3 o', clock, bro. Yeah, 12 noon.

[Burt]

I'm giving you three hours. And then people are talking to you and you can hear the words and you can feel the vibrations in your ear, but you will just shut down.

[Co-host]

It's like Charlie Brown. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Exactly.

[Co-host]

Say the drama for your mama, baby.

[Burt]

Hey, y' all need to go to the website and check out the article that we linked over to because Father Bailey. Big article in the New York Times about Father Bailey last week.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

That's crazy.

[Co-host]

Did everybody. Action figures coming out. I told y' all that. I told y' all, be on alert. The action figures are coming out.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Mattel's already in talks with you, aren't they?

[Co-host]

I tell you, man, Hot Wheels, some baby my, you know, Father mobile car and everything. I'm telling you, man, the whole line.

[Burt]

[Burt]

Thank you.

[Co-host]

Okay, so they'll be here, you know, probably this afternoon, talk to you all.

[Burt]

They wouldn't even have to waste a lot of plastic on me. This is what the New York Times just the first paragraph says about Father Bailey. Just as the sun started to burn through the smog on a recent Monday morning, the Reverend Ricardo Xavier Zatwan Bailey. Is that right?

[Co-host]

Zatoine, bro.

[Burt]

Zatoine. Sorry. That was really white, wasn't it?

[Co-host]

Soul in there, man.

[Burt]

A priesthood Holy Spirit roaming Catholic church here. Loosened his collar, slipped on his headphones and rolled up to a radio studio microphone. Yes, party people, it's Father Ricardo Bailey coming to you live and hardcore from the basilica at Q100. Sandwiched between songs by the likes of Trick Daddy and the Pussycat Dolls, Father Bailey has a weekly gig on one of the most popular morning shows in Atlanta, the Burt Show. Yeah. Where he has been introduced to listeners as Father Kronk. And that's in the New York Times. And that's just where it starts.

[Co-host]

But you know what, man? I never heard Trick Daddy on this radio station.

[Burt]

No, we play some Trick Daddy, man.

[Co-host]

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Oh, man, yeah. On the Bird show, though.

[Burt]

No.

[Co-host]

Okay, that's what I thought.

[Burt]

Well, you haven't heard a lot of music, period, on the first show. Congratulations on the article.

[Co-host]

Well, thank you very much. And like I said before, I don't take this all lightly. I mean, I'm very humbled by the whole thing, but at the same time, I look at as a wonderful means of showing people a different aspect of the priesthood, that priests are human, too. But most of all that, you know, we have fun. And I thank you all for affording me the opportunity. It's been. It's been a wonderful, wonderful chance.

[Burt]

Father Bailey joins us every week, and he takes a look at Hollywood and he tells us, look. And I know there's a lot of freaky stuff going on there, but you gotta learn from it, watch it, listen to it, because a lot of it we can learn from, and we can apply it to the bible.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I am sanctified. Sanctified.

[Co-host]

God must be glorified. Gloria. Hey, bird dog on now.

[Burt]

You ready?

[Co-host]

Oh, okay. My fault.

[Burt]

I'm ready. You're ready. Do it.

[Co-host]

All right, man. Well, today we're gonna talk about David Hasselhoff, and you can find it on the Q100 entertainment buzz. And it says, hasselhoff defends crying on American Idol. David Hasselhoff is defending the moment he was caught on camera crying during the final episode of American Idol. This dude needs help. However, the hoff was in the audience watching finalists Katherine mcphee and Taylor Hicks face off for the title and was overcome with emotion when the winner was announced. Now he refuses to feel embarrassed by a sentimental display and insists if politicians could show some love and warmth like him, the world would be a better place. And you know what? I can't hate on David because he's absolutely right. So the title of my talk today is don't be a hater if I cry. Oh, yes. Good morning, Atlanta. Yes, sir, and yes, ma', am, it's your boy, father Ricardo Bailey, coming at y' all live at funky fresh in the a.m. oh, yes. Once again, it's on from holy spirit Catholic Church in Q100. And it seems that we're going to talk about the topic of David Hasselhoff this morning. And as you all heard me say, the man cried on American idol. And you know what? If that's what you want to do, God bless him. Now, I must admit, I haven't seen much going on in Hollywood that really interests me. But. But I imagine that this is a very good story, especially in the month of June when we had the chance a couple of weeks ago to remember those special men in our lives. I give a special shout out to all the fellas who are doing what they need to do and what they are supposed to do, most especially in treating the ladies and the children right and the way that they are supposed to be treated. Now, if you look in the Bible, I believe you can find numerous passages in which men cry. For instance, you can look from Genesis to Revelation and find many, many passages in which you can find people in the Bible crying. We can even see Jesus, the son of God, crying several times about, notably the death of his friend Lazarus. I believe that crying is a very important aspect of the lives that we live because it reminds us that no matter how much we think that we are totally in control of our emotions, we can face moments and situations that can be at times a little too overwhelming for us to deal with. However, Hasselhoff is right. There's nothing wrong with crying at all. I mean, we don't want folks to walk around like the Charlie Brown character with the black crowd over their head all the time. But a good cry isn't a bad thing. And fellas, listen to a priest. Women love a sensitive man. I ain't telling you to compromise anything about yourself, but just think about it. Game recognized game player. On the serious tip, there are many reasons and circumstances that that can touch the emotions that we hold inside. And let me share with you some of the things that trigger my emotions that really make me cry. First of all, smelly armpits, people who stink make me cry because I really feel for them. I say, baby, have you taken a bath today? Use some soap or something like that. People with bad breath make me cry. Most especially when they're the folks who always want to be in your face to talk about stuff. Atlanta, you know what I'm talking about. I remember when I was in college, there was this colleague of mine whose breast smelled so bad that I got a headache and I was crying because she messed up my day. And folks, can I give it up for the funky feet? Funky feet makes me cry. Lord help us all. You know the folks, Atlanta, it seems to need to invest in glade and plug it in. Plug it in more. There's nothing in the world as bad as a pair of funky feet. For me, that is worse than the ipod from hell. Get some foot spray and some baking soda and. And sprinkle it, baby. Those were just a couple examples that can make this priest cry. But when you read the article from the entertainment buzz, you can see why David Hasselhoff cried. And it was because he was caught up in the moment and he understood that there are some events and some things that can really touch our souls. Billy song wrote an Own song that said there are oceans. I mean, there are sad songs that can make you cry. That's from Billy Ocean, y'. All. Forgive me. It's early in the morning now, Atlanta. I'm not saying for you to go into work being an emotional mess, but it is a blessing to know that tears can be a real gift. I can remember when I was ordained to the priesthood in June of 2003. The priest who placed my priestly vestments on me was a hardcore priest from Italy who worked in the African American Catholic community of this archdiocese. I'm talking about Monsignor Frank Justa. He came to the cathedral to vest me in my vestments, and he was crying like he lost his big toe. But I understood why he was crying, and the reason did not hit me until later. It is always an honor for a priest to vest another priest under David's ordination to the priesthood because you are the first man, in many ways, to touch that guy's life. And I didn't know that in my own parish, I was the first man to become a priest. And that was a very emotional event. That was the case with me. I was the first priest, almost 95 years that came from my parish of Our lady of Lourdes in downtown Atlanta. And that was really a very special moment. So don't think that there's anything wrong with crying at all. I cried when I didn't have the chance to meet Bertrand. Music off, man.

[Burt]

All right, it's gonna get serious now.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Here we go.

[Co-host]

Mariah Carey, bro. I cried when I couldn't meet her, man. You know, she is so, so fine, bro.

[Burt]

I got no love.

[Co-host]

All right, man.

[Burt]

I agree with that, Burt.

[Co-host]

You gotta hook a brother up. But I do want you all to know that you still can be fly if you gotta cry. That's right, Atlanta. Don't be a hater if I cry. Therefore, Atlanta, Jesus did it. He walked over Jerusalem and over the death of his friend Lazarus. There cannot be any shame in your gizzain. My tizzam is. Is up. I gots the biz ounce. But before I go, let me give a shout out to all the young professionals of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church, the Auxiliary of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, AKA the Cape Princesses. All these women are fine, bro. You know what I'm saying? And my good friend Captain Ed. Cause Vickers and Officer Joe Vilafane, both working at the metro Atlanta airports, doing their things and keeping everybody safe. So I'm out, Atlanta. I love you all. Thank you for the opportunity. Remember, don't be a hater. If you gotta cry, I'm out. Players, play on. Love you all. God bless you. Take care and I'll see you next time.

[Burt]

Great job, Father Bailey. Hey, the Bird show. All right. Getting back to motivation by nauseation. We were looking for a very specific, specific person and specific couple. And I think we found them. Yeah.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

I mean, we asked people if you are trying to lose weight, if you're kind of self conscious about the way you look, but you're with someone, husband or wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, who is just not very supportive of you and making it hard on you. We wanted to help you out and then kind of punish them for not being too nice to you. So we came up with humiliation. Motivation by nauseation. Humiliation for them, too, where we are going to help someone lose weight. And for every pound you lose, your partner who has been mean to you has to ride Goliath for each pound you lose. So if you lose 30 pounds by Labor Day, by the end of the summer, then your partner has to ride Goliath 30 straight times. And that's, you know, why they are kind of getting punished for not being supportive of you.

[Burt]

We got a lot of calls and a lot of email from women saying that my husband or my boyfriend is just so on me, you know, that it makes me not want to diet because he's so crazy about how I look, so I just don't diet. But then we got a call here from Sean, who was just the opposite. Like, he's put some pounds on since they got married, and it's his wife that is all over him. And this is a little bit of the call that we took from him weeks ago.

[Co-host]

Some of the.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

She says to me, it's just like way over the top. And the reason it's over the top is because she says in front of our friends and even in front of our children, every time I wear like a bright colored shirt, she'll say that I look like the Mr. Cool man from the commercial. Yeah. Which is. And she thinks it's funny. She thinks like she's. She's motivating me to lose weight by embarrassing me in front of people. But obviously it hasn't worked. But she continues to do it. Let's say about if we're out and we. And I see something, an outfit that I like or something like that. She'll say, And I'll say, oh, yeah, I like that outfit. I'll open a box up on Christmas, on my birthday, it'll be that outfit, but like two sizes Too small?

[Burt]

Oh, no. I was in the driveway last week showing my 8 year old how to use a pogo stick and she screamed out, tell daddy to hop in one spot so we can strike oil. Good morning, Cindy.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I am really concerned about his weight. Not only, you know, for health reasons, but just physical reasons people, you know, try not to talk about. Oh, you know, you should love him for who he is and blah, blah, blah. Well, he's not physically the same person I was. You know, he was 12 years ago. He's 100 pounds heavier, not 85. You know, 85 was the last time he checked. And that does affect the marriage. And I don't think, you know, people want to hear that. They say, oh, but you should love him for who he is or what's on the inside. I never question what's on the inside. It's what's on the outside that I'm concerned with.

[Burt]

All right, so that was our initial conversation with him. Then a couple of weeks went by. We wanted to check in and see how things were going.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

It's just been a week. I started with Dovette on Thursday and I started the nutritionist actually on Saturday.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Okay.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I've lost eight and a half. Oh, no.

[Burt]

Eight and a half already?

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

It's only been five days.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Eight and a half.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

That's 20. That's each spin around Goliath is about three minutes. So that is almost a half hour. Wow.

[Burt]

Now, my fear here is that you've started off well, that you'll start to kind of slack off now because you're like £8 in five days. That's good. I'm doing great.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

No, I don't think I'm going to lose 90 or anything like that. But a lot explained to me at the beginning that I'm going to lose weight rapidly and then I'm going to hit a plateau at some point. So I'm ready for that. But every day I wake up, I get on the scale and the weight keeps coming off more and more and more and helps me before I go to this workout.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

That's great. So what time of day are you working out? How are you fitting it into your schedule?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Well, ly my. I'm off for the summer, so I like my whole summer is dedicated to working out.

[Burt]

So he's got the motivation going on. For sure. He's got the motivation going on. Now, our fear was that she was going to start sabotaging him and stuff, like cooking meals that weren't good for him to put some of that eight pounds back on or whatever. Hey, Sean.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Hey. What's going on?

[Burt]

How are you today?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I'm doing terrific.

[Burt]

Yeah?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yep.

[Burt]

So has your wife been supportive since the last time that we had you on?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Be honest with you. She has been. She's been. She's been pretty supportive.

[Co-host]

She.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

There's been a couple of times that she's brought home some sweets and some tempting desserts, but for the most part, she's been pretty supportive.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

That's good.

[Burt]

You've been strong.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I've been strong. I've been as strong as possible. It's tempting. I'm in New York right now, and New York is a very difficult food spot to be in.

[Burt]

Yeah, no doubt. So many great restaurants, so many smells.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Oh, those Philly, you know, cheesesteaks on the street and the pizza places.

[Burt]

It's like the old cartoons, you know, like when you just be walking down the street and that aroma finger would just go right into your nose. Like, you lose gravity and it just kind of like brings you into the restaurant. Yeah.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Right.

[Burt]

So the last time we talked to you, we're talking about eight and a half pounds. In five days since then, how much weight have you lost?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Officially? Right now I'm at eleven and a half.

[Burt]

Eleven and a half. That's great, dude. Congratulations.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Oh, thank you.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

So now, are you still working out regularly with the trainer? How's your schedule going?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Oh, yeah, I'm only in New York for a week. I've been working out with Antares now. Like, Dovette and I had, like, a scheduling conflict.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Okay.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I've been working out hard with Antarius Brown down in Body Sculptor.

[Burt]

That dude is. I mean, you talk about no mercy, man.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Really?

[Burt]

Yeah. Dolvett has a whole staff of guys, and each one of them is worse than the last one.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yeah, My. My whole motivation right now is just to get big enough to beat him.

[Burt]

Seriously.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Right, right.

[Burt]

And have. How about the nutrition end of the whole thing?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Nutrition is going well. I'm used to the food. I found some meals that I can eat almost every day. I can prepare them quickly and stuff. And Alana's been there. Anytime I have a question about something that I want to eat, I email her and make sure that I can eat it. And it's been terrific.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Are you noticing?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Harder than the working out.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Really?

[Burt]

Yeah, it is.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yeah. With the working out, I'll be honest with you. There's days, several days, that I don't want to go, but I know all I have to do is drive down there, and when I get to the parking Lot, you know, antareus is on me and I want to get a full hours workout, but with the nutrition, I'm all by myself. So I'm forced to make the meals, prepare the meals and just be. And it's more. I have to be self motivated to do it well.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

That's why, like you said, you're in New York. It's hard for people who travel all the time because you're not necessarily in a place where you can make your own meals like you have to. You're usually on the go, especially if you're really busy. And I think that's why so many people get in this trap of not being able to eat right, you know?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Well, the truth of the matter is with them, with the Linus plan, I'm not eating anything really that different than I ate before. It's just the spacing of the meals and just having a plan as to when I'm gonna eat and what I'm gonna put and how much I'm gonna eat and what I'm gonna put on the food. It's really not having to find some like specialty kangaroo spice or something like that.

[Burt]

Right.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

So it's not that difficult to find something to eat. It's just being focused enough not to eat the stuff that I know I'm not allowed to eat.

[Burt]

Well, it's obviously working for you. Eleven and a half pounds already. And if you do the math on it, that's that Cindy now is gonna have to ride Goliath.

[Co-host]

Jeez.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Oh, she's gonna be there for a.

[Burt]

Day over Labor Day.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Shawn, I wanted to know, are you noticing a difference in the way that you look in the mirror? Are you noticing a difference in your clothes yet?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yeah, what I was doing at first was I was only wearing sweatpants just so. Because I want to see the results at the end of the summer. I had to wear a suit the other day, and I was just amazed that I can. That I had so much space in this suit already.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Nice.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

The last time I put it on, it felt like scuba gear. And this time I got. I mean, I can fit it almost when I bought it. So there's a huge difference in my clothes.

[Burt]

How invested has Cindy been? Is she like always asking you how much weight you've lost or does she not want to know until the end of the summer?

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

I get on a scale every day and I announce my weight throughout the house. At the beginning, she was. I was doing. I was walking on my own. I still have to walk slash run on my own. The three days that I'm not with Dolvett or in Terrius, and she was trying to go with me, and she went with me for about three days and she fell off.

[Burt]

Really? So she knows how hard it is now.

[Jeff (The Burt Show prank caller)]

Yeah.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yeah.

[Burt]

Well, good for you, man. I mean, you were right on course here.

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

So I'm glad we got to talk to you while you were in New York. Hopefully this conversation will give you motivation to make it through that week up there without stopping for one of those hot dogs on the street.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

Yeah, I'm headed to the gym right now. Are you?

[Alana (Nutritionist) / Additional Co-host]

Awesome.

[Burt]

Good for you, man. Congratulations. That's awesome.

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]

All right, thanks a lot.

[Burt]

[Scott Nimrod / Sean (Caller)]
