Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Monique’s Non-Traditional Marriage Arrangement

[01:02–18:00]

• The show opens with coverage of Monique, who recently won an Academy Award and revealed in a Barbara Walters interview that she and her husband, Sidney, allow each other the freedom to have sex outside the marriage, provided that there is honesty and no deceit.
  • “You have said cheating is when you lie and are deceitful, not when you have sex outside of the marriage.” — Jabron [01:35]
  • Monique: “Could I have sex outside of my marriage with Sydney? Yes. Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That’s not a deal breaker.” [01:43]
  • Monique stresses friendship, longevity, and the absence of secrecy as key to their relationship's strength.
• The cast debate whether or not they could accept those terms in their own relationships:
  • Ashley: “I couldn’t. I’d be jealous. I’d be mad. I mean, you're sharing the same thing with somebody else that you’ve been sharing with me and only me. Hell no.” [02:56]

Listener Reactions

• The phone lines flood with varying viewpoints on non-monogamy and personal limits:
  • Whitney (caller): Shares that she might accept it if it happens as she ages and her much-younger husband potentially seeks sex elsewhere—emphasizing that honesty is essential and deceit is the real betrayal. [04:17–07:02]
  • Whitney (quote): “I love my husband so much... we’re just so close in every other way... as much as that would hurt, it wouldn’t be a deal breaker.” [04:20]
  • Becca: Discusses with candor her mutual agreement with her husband to occasionally have sex outside the marriage, as long as it’s just “physical” and not emotional—detailing the rules (e.g., not the same person more than three times to avoid emotional attachment). [10:14–13:14]
  • Valerie: Explains a similar open arrangement with detailed boundaries, instituted due to boredom after having a child. Both partners have had several encounters outside the marriage, with transparency as the foundation. [12:48–15:28]
  • Summer (contrarian view): Believes Monique’s acceptance stems from low self-esteem or is inherently unsustainable, predicting future regret. [15:28–15:54]

The Show’s Take

• The cast acknowledge that while non-traditional, arrangements like Monique’s can work if both partners are truly on board. There’s frequent reflection on how the majority of "traditional" marriages also struggle (“60% of those marriages are busting up...” — Bert [16:53]).
• Bert: "I don't judge any of this, any of this unorthodox way that people handle their marriages. The longer I'm married, I get, like, why people do what they do because it works for them." [16:40]

2. Neighborhood Mystery: The Regular 5-Minute Visitor

[18:46–53:39]

• Listener Whitney calls in, curious about a man who shows up every weekday at a Decatur gated townhome community, parks in the same spot, enters the same home via the back door for exactly 4–5 minutes, then leaves. [19:24–21:06]
  • Speculation runs wild: Possible explanations include pet-sitting, drug dealing, affairs, maintenance/security, real-estate activities, and even clandestine bathroom breaks.
• Callers and cast members have fun brainstorming:
  • Kelsey: “It’s a drug deal, I’d say. It seems pretty obvious to me.” [22:21]
  • Mark reveals: “The guy is a security officer hired by the complex to make sure nothing has happened.” [24:23]
  • Wild suggestions—cat sitting, aquarium maintenance, pot growing, “pooping in the vacant unit every day,” etc.—spark jokes and laughter.
  • Bert, on the need for closure: “The made up stories in your head are always way better than the reality of it.” [28:45]
• The show ends the segment by promising follow-up: plotting surveillance and possibly confronting or contacting the owner for answers.

3. The Working Mom Guilt & Parenting Styles

[31:44–43:43]

• Jeff poses a poignant question: In Ella’s (Tracy and Scott's baby) eight months (5,760 hours), how many has she spent with someone other than her parents? Answer: Three hours total, over two occasions with Tracy's mom. [31:48–33:43]
• This sparks a discussion about parenting attachment, the emotional challenges of leaving your child, and the sense of guilt many working (and stay-at-home) mothers face.
  • Ashley: “I don’t want to screw this up. I’ve never wanted to not screw something up so badly in my whole life.” [33:47]
• Callers share their own experiences, including a mother of two who waited over three years to leave her kids with anyone else, and another who sacrificed her career to be a full-time mom even without extended family support.
  • Kelsey: “They’re mine. I’m supposed to take care of them.” [36:23]
  • Another caller: “With my first…up until she was 18 months, only once did we leave her with someone and that was for an hour.” [41:25]
• The cast question parental competition and societal judgment, wishing for more empathy and less comparison among parents.
  • Bert: “Our parents or their parents had the help of other moms... Nowadays, it’s just not like that...there's not that support system.” [38:55]
  • Jen: “A lot of working moms...feel like they’re never good enough—at anything, as a mom or at work.” [40:14]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Monique on Redefining Cheating:
  “Cheating is when you lie and are deceitful, not when you have sex outside of the marriage.” — [01:35]
• Ashley on Jealousy:
  “Hell no.” — on the idea of her partner sleeping outside the marriage [02:56]
• Whitney (Caller):
  “I guess, you know, kind of in my mind I’ve reconciled that it would be okay at some point. I think it would still hurt anybody.” [06:07]
• Becca (Caller):
  “If it was just one time and we’re honest with each other and just was something in the moment... then we’re both okay with it.” [11:31]
• Valerie (Caller):
  “We cannot have the same partner more than three times, though, because an emotion thing will come up.” [12:49]
• Summer (Caller):
  “Of course she cares. In a couple years...she’s going to be sitting down with Oprah talking about how she’s miserable in her marriage because her husband's cheating on her.” [15:32]

The hosts create a safe space to air and examine a controversial take on marriage, turning up empathy (and occasional skepticism) as they listen to callers who live with a range of boundaries.

And being that I'm going to be passenger Princess, I Love playing on Spinquest.com Spinquest has all of my favorite slot games. Live blackjack, live craps.

[Bert]

All right, so Monique here, she wins the Academy Award on Sunday night.

[Jen]

Supporting actress for Precious.

[Bert]

People are buzzing about her, but it's her personal life, not only her professional life that really has people intrigued here. And this kind of attitude about marriage seems like she would be the only person in the world that would accept this kind of thing. But there's gotta be Birch show listeners that follow the same rules.

[Jen]

It sounds like they both agree on it. Monique was sitting down with Barbara Walters and talking about her marriage.

[Jabron]

You have said cheating is when you lie and are deceitful.

[Monique]

Yes.

[Jabron]

Not when you have sex outside of the marriage.

[Monique]

Yes.

[Jabron]

Do you and Sid have sex outside of the marriage?

[Monique]

Do we have sex outside of the marriage? Let me say this. I have not had sex outside of my marriage with Sydney. Could I have sex outside of my marriage with Sydney? Yes. Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal breaker. That's not something that we would say, oh my God. Because you are attracted to another person and because you happen to have sex, let's end the marriage.

[Jabron]

But what if it's not once?

[Monique]

What if it's what if it's 20 times. Yeah, what if and what if?

[Jabron]

So why wouldn't care?

[Monique]

That's not something that would make us say, pack your things and let's end the marriage. Because we've been best friends for is it over 25 years and we truly know who we are. Truly.

[Bert]

Now she's not saying that they're swingers.

[Monique]

Right?

[Jen]

That's not what I'm saying.

[Bert]

She's not saying that. She's saying that if he wants to go out and have a physical relationship with somebody else, so long as he's honest with her about it, it's cool. He can do that 25 times and it's not a deal breaker for her. And vice versa. Who could live with that in their marriage?

[Ashley]

I couldn't. I'd be jealous. I'd be mad. I mean, you're sharing the same thing with somebody else that you've been sharing with me and only me. Hell no.

[Bert]

And again, swingers don't call up. I mean, we've talked to you guys before, but we're not talking about. You guys have agreed that it's just, this is different.

[Jeff]

Well, the swinger thing is when everybody's involved, that's like he finds a woman or she finds a man and then

[Ashley]

three of them, it's an active, active looking and.

[Jeff]

Or they find another couple and they're all. And it's big ol. Hey, what's up, what's up, what's up? But that's not it. This is just him finding a girl and it's just the two of them. What's up, what's up? Or her finding a guy.

[Whitney]

There's no way.

[Ashley]

Yeah. If it happens, it's not a deal breaker.

[Bert]

And she says what I hear her saying there is the, the cheating and the deceit is not in the sex. It's in the lying and trying to hide it.

[Jen]

Right.

[Bert]

Because. And if he's honest about that, then he can, he can do that as many times as he wants.

[Jen]

They've obviously both got to be okay with it because they've, I mean, they've outlasted a lot of marriages, you know. What did she say, 20 years together?

[Ashley]

Well, I think they, I think they've known each other since a childhood, but I'm not sure whether I'm talking about small children, teenagers. But I think they've been together as friends for a long time. So I think they're, you know, it just may be a case which they, whatever happens in their life, they're not going to break apart.

[Bert]

404-741-Q100 hey, Ashley.

[Whitney]

Hey, good morning, Bert.

[Bert]

Hey, you're on the voice disguiser. Go ahead.

[Whitney]

Yeah, I don't think it's a deal breaker if your marriage is solid. And you know, for me, I love my husband so much that he is a lot younger than I am and we're both Hispanic, and a lot of times in our culture, the men love and revere the wife and view extracurricular sex as just kind of an actual. And so far my husband has been faithful. But I do recognize that as I get older, say when I'm 60 and he's 40, there will probably be a chance that he would look for sex outside of the marriage. And we're just so close and so good together in every other way that as much as that would hurt, it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

[Bert]

So if he told you, if he told you that he was gonna have sex with somebody else, you'd be okay with that, but if he cheated on you, you would not be, or it

[Whitney]

wouldn't matter if he were deceitful. I think that the problem is the deceit and the betrayal. I wouldn't want him to tell me he's gonna have sex, but if he did, if he said, you know, remember a couple weeks ago I was out pretty late with the guys. Well, there was a. Put that at the bar and, you know, whatever, you know, then I would, I would definitely be upset. I'm not going to say it wouldn't hurt me. I mean, I think it would definitely end up being a major problem, but it wouldn't be, like Monique said, a deal breaker. I wouldn't end the marriage, but I

[Jeff]

think she implied and I think what birds looking for is it wouldn't be a problem for her.

[Kelsey]

Yes.

[Jeff]

Not only would it not be a deal breaker, but she's like, yeah, it's cool because we're friends. So.

[Ashley]

And they know each other well.

[Whitney]

You know, I hope I get to that point at some point because I don't want to. I guess, you know, kind of in my mind I've reconciled that it would be okay at some point. I think it would still hurt her. I think it would still hurt anybody. Because you want your mate to find you to be the most desirable woman. Every woman wants to feel like they are just so sexy to their partner, you know?

[Bert]

Yeah. Your attitude really strikes totally different than what you hear most women say to their guys. Like, I think the fear is once I put on some weight or if I, when I get older, I want to be with a guy that I know is going to think I'm beautiful and I'm the only one he wants to be with. Where you're saying there's a 20 year difference between you and your husband, you know, he's going to be attracted to women that are younger than you and. And you're totally okay with him sleeping with them.

[Whitney]

I'm not saying I'm okay with it. I guess I am okay with it. Yeah. Because there's just so much more to our marriage. There's just so much more of a partnership, so much more of a deep connection than that. I mean, it would be like, you know, if you borrowed someone else's car, I guess.

[Lady Luck]

No way.

[Ashley]

I think it's part of the deep connection, though. It depends on the couple. It depends on the couple. I am certain. I am not. I can say, honestly, I'm not secure enough to handle that.

[Jabron]

No way.

[Ashley]

I just can't do it because that. I mean, like Wendy said, that's, to me, part of that connection, so. But there are couples that. I mean, it sounds to me Monique is so confident in her comments that there is value placed on different things. And obviously, for sex, she may consider it recreational, just like her husband does, and that their deep connection comes from somewhere else, you know?

[Bert]

Hey, Madison, can you hold on 15 seconds?

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Bert]

Can you play that one more time, Jen?

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Jabron]

You have said cheating is when you lie and are deceitful, not when you have sex outside of the marriage.

[Monique]

Yes.

[Jabron]

Do you and Sid have sex outside of the marriage?

[Monique]

Do we have sex outside of the marriage? Let me say this. I have not had sex outside of my marriage with Sydney. Could I have sex outside of my marriage with Sydney? Yes. Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal breaker. That's not something that we would say. Oh, my God. Because you are attracted to another person and because you happen to have sex, let's end the marriage.

[Jabron]

But what if it's not once? What if?

[Whitney]

It's.

[Monique]

What if? It's 20 times.

[Jabron]

Yeah, what if?

[Monique]

And what if?

[Jabron]

So why you wouldn't care?

[Monique]

That's not something that would make us say, pack your things and let's end the marriage. Because we've been best friends for. Is it over 25 years and we truly know who we are? Truly.

[Jeff]

What if it was the first time he was hearing that? Like, what if he's sitting there and he's watching the Barbara Walters special or whatever, and then he hears her say, could Sidney have sex outside the marriage?

[Jabron]

Yes.

[Jeff]

And he went really?

[Ashley]

Well, it sounds to me like he already has.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Ashley]

Because she said, let me just say this. I have not done it.

[Jeff]

Did she say that? Yeah, it's the first thing she said.

[Bert]

Hey, Madison. Good morning.

[Kelsey]

Hey.

[Bert]

You heard Monique's attitude about infidelity?

[Whitney]

Yeah, I did. And I Kind of feel the same way because my husband and I, we've been together for six years and he's already done it and we've made it through. I think it's gonna be hard. Like, it's not gonna be easy and like, the trust is never gonna be there. But, I mean, I think it's not a deal breaker. I think your relationship should be based upon more than that. And I don't know, like, I got through it and.

[Bert]

But he can't do it again.

[Kelsey]

Hell no.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Ashley]

There's different things that's cheating where she's okay with it, and she said the Cheris will never be there, so that's completely different.

[Bert]

Becca wants to be on the voice disguiser. Hey, Becca.

[Whitney]

Hi. How are you doing?

[Jen]

Good.

[Bert]

You're on the voice disguiser. Nobody can recognize your voice.

[Whitney]

Good, thanks. I've been in a situation where my husband and I, we've actually have gone outside of the marriage just for sex. And we were honest about it. And for us, as long as it's not betrayal and as long as it's not anything besides the physical, which is very hard to. To find and hard to separate for a lot of people. But as long as we were very open with each other in that we tell each other, well, this is just. It was just physical, and then we're both okay with it. If it does get too emotional, then we would not be okay with it. But it hasn't at the time.

[Jen]

And so you guys both share everything.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Jen]

And how much detail do you get into? Like, do you tell him who it is, how you met him, how many times?

[Whitney]

No, we don't. We don't really go into detail. We don't tell who it was. And it's only happened. Well, it's only happened. Well, it happened twice. Once before we were married and once afterwards. But no, we don't go into the detail. And the thing is that it wasn't something continuous. It was just kind of a one off.

[Jen]

A one off for you. And he's had a one off too.

[Whitney]

Exactly. Yeah. And so it wasn't to continue it. We both said, you know, that we wouldn't be okay with that. But if it was just one time and we're honest with each other and just was something in the moment, and if it was just physical, then we're both okay with it.

[Jen]

How does your sex life change? I can say that it's after 8:30, right?

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Jen]

Anyway, a little more adult question. How does your intimate life change after that happens? Does it get Better or worse?

[Whitney]

No, it's better.

[Jen]

Why?

[Whitney]

Really nice. I don't know. It makes us closer. It makes us want to be with each other more. It's good experiences. It just kind of gives you. Gets you out of. You know, you've been with the same person for such a long time, which is wonderful. And you have. There's some really positive things about that. But you also forget, I don't know what's out there. And you get out there, and then it just makes you want the person you're with even more. If it was a good or bad experience, it just makes us have this stronger connection.

[Bert]

Thanks, Becca. Here's Valerie, who's got a very similar relationship as Monique does. Hey, Valerie, you're on the voice disguiser.

[Whitney]

Hey, guys.

[Bert]

Good morning.

[Whitney]

Good morning. Well, yeah, me and my husband are totally in agreement in our open relationship, we cannot have the same partner more than three times, though, because an emotion will. The emotion thing will come up.

[Bert]

So does this work where you know that you're gonna go meet another dude and you know you're gonna get physical with him, you will tell your husband beforehand?

[Kelsey]

Yes.

[Bert]

Oh, that would drive me crazy.

[Jeff]

So he know he's sitting at home watching whatever. Or worse yet, out trying to pick up a chick while you're out with some dude and he's having no luck.

[Bert]

Is that how that works? So, like, you tell him, I'm going out with a guy tonight, and he sits home or whatever and just knows that it's probably happening at that time.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Ashley]

And when did you come up with

[Whitney]

his guys and try and meet another girl?

[Ashley]

And when in the relationship did you come up with these rules in the beginning, or is it just a conversation in the middle of the marriage where you all of a sudden decide, okay, let's go sleep with other people?

[Bert]

Yeah. When did he suggest this?

[Whitney]

He didn't, actually. I did.

[Bert]

Get out of here.

[Ashley]

At what point? At what point in the marriage?

[Whitney]

We. Let's see. We got together when we were young. We have a child, and after our child was born, we were bored with each other. We wanted to find different things and new techniques, I guess. And with other people, you can learn that and you can take it home.

[Ashley]

How often have y' all gone outside the marriage?

[Whitney]

He done it five times in four years, and I've done it probably five or six times. Probably six.

[Jen]

Do the people that you're sleeping with know that you're married?

[Whitney]

Yeah, they think it's kind of weird,

[Bert]

but they don't care.

[Whitney]

Some of them don't care.

[Kelsey]

Some of them, yeah.

[Bert]

Dude's not gonna care. He's getting some at the end of the day.

[Jen]

But I wonder, does he tell the women that he's sleeping with that he's married?

[Whitney]

Um, yeah, I hope so.

[Bert]

Why, why does it matter? If it's just physical and he's going, why can't he just make up some new Persona? And who cares if he's married or not?

[Whitney]

Because sometimes if you're married, it's a turn off.

[Jeff]

Yeah. The girl, the people that you're hooking up with might not be into it.

[Whitney]

Yeah. And even for guys, sometimes it's like a deal breaker.

[Kelsey]

They won't do it.

[Whitney]

They're like, no, I'm not gonna be part of this. I'm not gonna end your marriage.

[Bert]

I was gonna ask you if you. If you started doing this because you weren't happy in your sex life. And you answered that, you said, yeah, you guys are pretty bored with each other, and that's the only reason why you really.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Ashley]

And see, I don't think that's like Monique. I really do think that Monique is saying that they are so close, that this is not enough to ruin their marriage. But I don't think that either one are actively out seeking to go outside the marriage. That's not what I interpreted from her comments.

[Bert]

I think Summer here thinks that Monique's relationship is doomed. Hey, Summer. Good morning.

[Kelsey]

Hey, good morning. Okay, this is a joke. Please. Of course she cares. And in a couple years from now, she's gonna be sitting down with, like, Oprah talking about how she's at the height of her career, you winning, you know, winning an Oscar and all sorts of stuff. And then, you know, but she's, like, miserable in her marriage because her husband's cheating on her. Give me a break. It's low self esteem.

[Bert]

Like, maybe people just. Maybe it just works for them. I don't know.

[Ashley]

And the sad thing is, because I was watching the Oprah special yesterday with the Oscar winners, and I couldn't help but think, because we've talked about this before, that a lot of times when women become more successful in their careers than their men, that a lot of times those marriages don't end up working out, especially with Oscar winners. And so I was watching Sandra Bullock and I was watching Monique on the stage yesterday, and I thought, are in either one of these women, like, she joked about being on Oprah, but are either one of these women, we're going to hear that they're getting a divorce sometime within the next few years since they've won their Oscars.

[Jen]

Now with Sandra Bullock, I would say absolutely not.

[Bert]

I think she's solid.

[Jen]

Those two seem so badly in love with each other and they've done such different things and they've been successful in such different worlds. Right.

[Ashley]

But she was not at the height of her career when they got together.

[Monique]

Yeah.

[Bert]

I don't judge any of this, any of this unorthodox way that people handle their marriages. The longer I'm married, I get, like, why people do what they do because it works for them.

[Jen]

It's like whatever works for you.

[Bert]

And as I said before, you know, like traditional marriages, they're not working. 60% of those marriages are busting up. So what are you doing to break the mold? And if that's what's working for Monique, I hope it works for 100 years. I don't think I'd suggest it in my house, though. Never hear those words come out of my mouth.

[Jabron]

[Bert]

We've made the offer to you guys just in case you're curious about something going on around you. We'll get answers for you.

[Jen]

Yeah, this is when you're super nosy about some sort of situation. Maybe something at work, something in the neighborhood, and you want to know the answer. But you don't want to be the one that asks the question because then everybody's going to think you're the rude one or you're the nosy one or you're the, you know, gossipy neighbor or whatever. So don't be come to us and tell us about the situation and then we'll go find out the answers for you.

[Bert]

And we never reveal to the person that we're sort of quote unquote investigating who is just curious so they'll never know it's you. And Whitney has some stuff that's going down in her neighborhood right now that just every day she's just getting a little bit more curious about. Hey Whitney.

[Whitney]

Hi.

[Bert]

Hey, you're on the voice disguiser.

[Whitney]

Thank you.

[Bert]

Alright, so some dude showing up to the community every single day, same time?

[Whitney]

Yes. First of all, I live in a gated townhome community. So he obviously knows the code to get in here every day. And he comes in about 9:45 every day and it's just Monday through Friday, not on the weekend, just throughout the week. So he just like, it's really odd. He drives the same car parked in the same parking spot and he pretty much gets out of his car. Sometimes he'll grab something out of the trunk or the back seat and then he walks behind the townhomes like, and goes in the back door of one of the townhomes in there. He stays in like, and when he's walking down there, he's also looking around to see if like anyone's looking at him like kind of curious. And then he goes in the town home, he goes in for about four or five minutes and it comes back out, goes to his car and then drives away.

[Ashley]

Every day?

[Whitney]

Every day, same time, like on the dot.

[Bert]

What part of town is this in?

[Whitney]

I live in Decatur.

[Bert]

Okay, so he goes behind all the townhomes and for you it just feels like he's just a little bit nervous that he's back there. And then. Did you say he goes into one of the homes every morning?

[Whitney]

Goes into one of the homes? Yes.

[Ashley]

And stays there only for a few minutes and then leaves.

[Whitney]

I mean, I've timed him before. It's usually about five minutes and he's no longer than five minutes.

[Ashley]

Do you know the neighbor of the townhouse that he goes into?

[Whitney]

I don't, I haven't met them. So I don't know if you know, maybe they're bringing it out or do

[Jabron]

you know who lives there?

[Jen]

Is it a single person, is it a couple or a Family?

[Whitney]

I'm not sure we have a lot of families in here. It's a really nice townhome area.

[Jen]

So I wonder if he's a dog sitter.

[Whitney]

I don't know. I don't know if it's like, anything bad he's doing or.

[Bert]

But you never see him come back out of the house with a dog, though.

[Jen]

No, he's a lazy dog sitter.

[Jeff]

Well, you don't have to come back out with the dog. Like, maybe their job. Like, maybe it's a person who works, like, overnights, like midnight to noon or something.

[Whitney]

I mean, he comes in jeans and, like, a leather jacket every day.

[Jeff]

But I mean, what. I think he could just. If somebody. If the person who lives there is not there for a big chunk of time, he could just come in, put fresh water in the bowl, food, feed the dog.

[Ashley]

But he would take him out.

[Bert]

He would normally take the dog out.

[Jen]

Yeah, you would think they would.

[Whitney]

We've gone through the possibilities of what it could be, and we just don't know. Like, we can't pinpoint it of what exactly it is.

[Bert]

It's always more fun to speculate what it is than the reality of it. Right, here's Kelsey. Good morning, Kelsey. What's this guy doing, you think?

[Kelsey]

Good morning. It's a drug deal, I'd say. It seems pretty obvious to me.

[Bert]

Every day, same townhouse for five minutes.

[Kelsey]

Yeah, because they probably have some sort of, you know, set routine.

[Ashley]

Dang. Every day.

[Jeff]

Every day. Why don't you just buy for a week? Like go to Costco.

[Ashley]

I don't know.

[Kelsey]

Maybe it's more dangerous to buy. I don't know. It just seems like it has to be something like that.

[Bert]

Whitney, when you and, like, your family is talking about it, what have you speculated could be the reason

[Whitney]

it come up with the drug dealer thing? Like, we thought about that, but then it just seems kind of odd. Why wouldn't he do it on the weekends as well? But we thought about the dog searching. Or maybe he just. You know, we even thought about maybe looking after a grandmother or something, but it just didn't seem right.

[Jen]

And if it were some sort of affair going on, he'd stay longer than four or five minutes.

[Bert]

That's a pretty bad lover.

[Whitney]

That would be the quickest clicky in history.

[Bert]

Yeah, that's an awful lover right there. You can do better than that. Here is Kiki. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Jabron]

Hi.

[Kelsey]

Good morning, guys.

[Bert]

Hey, Kiki.

[Kelsey]

I seriously think he's sleeping with a married woman.

[Jabron]

Yeah, But I mean, he's not for five minutes.

[Kelsey]

It sounds a bit suspicious, like maybe he's doing something with, with someone who's in a relationship.

[Bert]

I think it's business related. I don't.

[Ashley]

Well, I mean. And the only pet sitting thing that would make sense is a cat. More so than a dog.

[Jen]

That could be the case because they

[Ashley]

don't have to take a cat out still.

[Jeff]

Yeah, but why you don't you also

[Ashley]

every morning for five minutes, you also

[Jeff]

don't have to feed a cat like a dog. If you feed a dog a full thing of food, the dog will eat all the food right away.

[Ashley]

Or the cat sitter.

[Jeff]

A cat will eat two bites of food, wander around, lick its butt, sleep in the sleep.

[Jen]

Cat sitter's only if you're gonna be gone more than what, four days, right? Something like that.

[Bert]

I could see you though. Whitney, as the resident just is starting to like, I gotta know the answer.

[Jabron]

Who is this dude?

[Jen]

Drive me crazy.

[Whitney]

I mean, months.

[Ashley]

It's so.

[Bert]

Good morning, mark. You're on Q100.

[Kelsey]

Yeah, but listen man, I'm actually at work right now. I work in property management in the maintenance department. The guy is a security officer hired by the complex to make sure nothing has happened.

[Bert]

But something doesn't make sense here because he's going into the same house every day.

[Kelsey]

But that, that is a. That is a vacant and that's a vacant and he's actually going in there. He's probably, you know, taking a little tinkle in there or whatever. But I mean, trust me, it's. He's a security officer.

[Jeff]

That's actually a good point. Like if it is open and he does have rounds. Yeah, he's just going in there to go the bathroom and leave.

[Bert]

Maybe he's just pooping.

[Ashley]

Yeah, that's his morning poo. But I mean he drives in the same spot very regular. Yes. At the same time every day. And he goes into the same house for only five minutes and comes back out.

[Bert]

Winnie, did you say that you knew for sure that townhouse was occupied or not occupied?

[Whitney]

I'm not sure.

[Bert]

Not sure.

[Ashley]

It's definitely got to be work related. Monday through Friday and not the weekends. It's got to be.

[Bert]

I'm gonna feel bad if we corner this guy like tomorrow at 9:45 and he has to say it's just my poop time.

[Ashley]

What if he's with us living with a new girl?

[Jen]

I gotta go to the vacant one and do what I gotta do.

[Jabron]

That's gonna suck.

[Jeff]

Oh, that'd Be great. What if on his way to work every day, his deuces are so stinky that his wife won't let him do it in the house?

[Jen]

He's gonna be best friend.

[Ashley]

He's regular though. Same time every morning.

[Jeff]

Or Wendy brings up a good point too. He's got a girlfriend, right?

[Jen]

Somebody new?

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Ashley]

He poop in front of a new person?

[Bert]

No, but he's been doing it for months. They should be past the poop comfortable stage.

[Jeff]

Not if he's. Some people, I think, just have bad colon processing in their poop stinks no matter what they eat or drink.

[Jen]

Oh, my God.

[Ashley]

I cannot wait to find out what he's doing because this is hilarious.

[Bert]

Hey, Ed, do you think this guy is past his poop acceptance stage or you think it's something else?

[Kelsey]

Yeah, I definitely think it's something else. He's only got five minutes to do his business. It's checking up on something. So aquarium specialist, he goes in, checks the PH of the water, checks the fish, make sure they're alive. Or he's a growing pot. Basically goes in and check to make sure everything's okay, it hasn't burned down.

[Jeff]

If it is a vacant townhouse, he could be.

[Jabron]

Could have a little checking his weeds, checking the stash.

[Ashley]

Because the PH level he would have to check every day though the chronic

[Jen]

is doing well with the lights and whatever.

[Jeff]

Hey, what's up there? Salvador, right?

[Bert]

That's me. Alice, good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Kelsey]

Hi, good morning. A couple of questions for the caller. Yeah, what kind of car is it and how long has this been going on?

[Whitney]

It's a very nice BMW. It looks brand new and it's been going on for I'd probably say three or four months now I've really noticed it.

[Bert]

Three or four months, Nice BMW.

[Kelsey]

And if off air, if she knows the address of the property, I can find out who the owner is and maybe we can contact the owner and find out what's going on.

[Jeff]

Why did you. Why did you care about the make of the car?

[Kelsey]

Because I was just curious if it looked like a police car or if it looks like, you know, a beat up car. She just hadn't said what it was.

[Bert]

All right, well, let us do some research here. Whitney, give us 24 hours.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Bert]

I didn't even think about the drug.

[Jabron]

The drug possibly grow room in there.

[Bert]

Yeah, because my thought was, you know, we'll just send an intern down there and go, dude, you know, off the air, like, what's your deal? We're not gonna tell you. Just give us the details on why you're here every single day. But if it's like a drug dude, something illegal.

[Jeff]

Well, I think what we need to do before we. Before we send him that. Because if he's there at the same time every day, what we have to do is write up a note and put it on the door that he goes into early tomorrow morning. That basically says we're just curious. One of the neighbors is wondering why you go in this house every day. Call us. If he doesn't call us, it's something shady. And then we send an intern, one that we don't like down there.

[Bert]

That may stop him from going it all together, though. I think he got one crack at it.

[Jen]

Yeah, I think so too.

[Bert]

You know what I want to do? I want to talk to you at 9:45 this morning and see if he shows up again today.

[Ashley]

That's a good idea.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Bert]

All right. And then we'll try to figure out what we can do the next 24 hours and get some answers for you. Okay?

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Bert]

All right. Are you available in like 45 minutes?

[Whitney]

Yes.

[Bert]

Okay, we'll call you back.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Bert]

But the stories on these, the made up stories in your head are always way better than the reality of it.

[Jabron]

It's the vert show.

[Bert]

Is that a picture that we can put up on our website? That woman?

[Ashley]

Yeah.

[Bert]

Oh, she's Melissa. Had the news story of the year thus far yesterday. This was a beaut.

[Ashley]

About the woman who was driving her car on her way to see her boyfriend. She had her ex husband in the car and said, hey, honey, why don't you hold the wheel for a second? Because she needed to shave herself getting

[Jabron]

ready for a boyfriend.

[Jen]

Her bikini line.

[Ashley]

Bikini area.

[Bert]

It was an electric razor, right?

[Ashley]

Yes. My understanding, yes. And she wrecked. And she wrecked the car. And she was. She got in trouble because she was on a suspended license. And so she got arrested for that. And she has a mug shot. And she hasn't had her roots done in a while.

[Bert]

No, I was disappointed in the mug shot. Yeah, I was hoping for something a little hotter than that.

[Jeff]

Isn't she having surgery today to have the razor removed?

[Ashley]

Ow.

[Bert]

Are you really that busy? I mean, somewhere over the last 24 hours, you knew you were gonna hook up with your boyfriend. You couldn't do that in your house? I mean, how long does that take?

[Ashley]

And her husband's in the car holding the wheel.

[Bert]

This is in 1972. It shouldn't take you all that long.

[Ashley]

Well, and I don't want my pants down while I'm driving.

[Jabron]

Save that.

[Jeff]

Oh sure you don't, Wendy.

[Jen]

Can't agree with you on that one.

[Jabron]

Dear Bird show. Hey everybody.

[Lady Luck]

Lady luck here and we're celebrating America's 250th birthday. Now all summer long I'm going to be celebrating by playing on spinquest.com which is an American owned social casino. It obviously features over a second thousand slot games and live blackjack, live craps, live bubble craps. Head on over to spinquest.com get yourself a $30 coin pack for just 10 bucks.

[Jabron]

Spinquest is a free to play social casino void where prohibited. Visit spinquest.com for more details.

[Ashley]

When I got a new car, I thought my insurance premium would increase and empty my bank account. Like if fatween won the lottery.

[Bert]

I've invested most of my winnings and chicken tenders because they're bomb. But bro, I bought a house and it's sick, bro. I'm thinking the floor is gonna be all trampoline, bro. With a helipad on the roof.

[Jabron]

The contractor said it's structurally unsound.

[Bert]

They're just being babies.

[Ashley]

But switching to Geico saved me hundreds. So my bank account is safe.

[Jabron]

It feels good to save some hard earned cash. It feels good to Geico. Ahora mascolos. Ye bacada.

[Jeff]

The Birch Show.

[Bert]

Jeff wants to pose a question.

[Ashley]

Okay.

[Jeff]

I want to play Tracy poker.

[Jen]

Okay.

[Jeff]

The. I want to find the parent. How old is beautiful little Ella?

[Ashley]

She's eight months old.

[Jeff]

Eight months old. So doing quick math, that would be 240 days. Right. So I can't. I gotta get a couch.

[Ashley]

Yeah, but I. Yeah.

[Jeff]

200 days.

[Ashley]

I don't know why I just agreed to. Because I have no idea. Yeah, that's right. You are wrong.

[Jeff]

So 240 days times 24 hours a day is 5760 hours that beautiful Ella Grace guinea has been on this earth.

[Bert]

Uh huh.

[Jeff]

Tracy.

[Jen]

Uh huh.

[Jeff]

How many total hours has Ella not been in the care of either you or Scott? In other words, how many hours have you and Scott been away from Ella together?

[Ashley]

Three.

[Bert]

Three hours.

[Jeff]

Three out of 5760.

[Jen]

And was that in one time? For three hours?

[Ashley]

That was two different times.

[Jen]

Two different times.

[Bert]

And they were for 90 minutes each.

[Ashley]

Yes.

[Jeff]

Now I know the second time and stop me if you don't mind me telling the story, but I won't listen. The second time was, I think Tracy said her mom came in and was watching.

[Ashley]

Both times it was my mom.

[Jeff]

Okay. Was watching Ella and the second time actually said, do not come home for three hours and 90 minutes into it. Tracy's like, I gotta go home.

[Ashley]

I was tired.

[Bert]

Seriously? You were freaked out that you weren't around her that long.

[Ashley]

Um, well, here's the thing. I mean, I 100%. We've talked about this. I completely, 100% trust my parents with her. That's not the issue at all. If I was gonna leave her with anybody, it would be my parents. I don't know. I just. I guess it's because she's only eight months old, and she sees my parents, like, once a week for a couple of hours, and we're there. But to me, that's like, she's not around them enough to where she's. I guess I'm just afraid if we leave her for too long, she's gonna think we're not coming back.

[Bert]

Oh, God.

[Jabron]

I know, honey.

[Jeff]

All right, well, let's. You.

[Bert]

I don't know that I've ever met a more insecure parent. You're so, so nervous.

[Ashley]

I don't want to screw this up. I've never not wanted. I've never wanted to not screw something up so badly in my whole life. I understand that. I understand that. You know, like, if this is the one thing that I want to succeed at more than anything else. Like, I want her to have the best parents in the whole world. Not because I want to be the best parents, but because she deserves it,

[Jeff]

then I would like to hear from parents who are better than Scott and Tracy. If you have a child that is older than 5,000, 2,760 hours, which is eight months, and you've been. And they have been away from both parents for less than three hours.

[Bert]

Calm. Look, our former boss. I think you can. Our former boss, when she had their first baby, you remember, for six months, she wouldn't leave the house.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Bert]

Dylan's wife. Dylan's wife wouldn't leave the house. They didn't go out to dinner. She just wouldn't allow that child to be in the care of anybody else for six months. They never left.

[Jeff]

And that was just her. Like, she was around the baby for six consecutive months. So that woman, I would consider a better mother than Tracy. Cause you leave your baby every single day for hours.

[Bert]

We have such different attitudes about this. Like, my feeling on it is I want my baby to be cared by a whole bunch of different people. I want him to be passed around because I want him to feel comfortable in those settings. Whereas your attitude is just different than Mine, Yours is more protective.

[Ashley]

And I think if I was sitting on a therapist, I would probably say that a lot of it most likely has a lot of guilt, like working mom guilt. You know, I am gone for so many hours a day, and I think I'm fortunate because I'm probably away from her less than most working moms are. But when you get home, I kind of feel like, all right, I've been gone for the last seven hours or eight hours or however long it's been, I want to spend as much time with you as possible. And on the weekends, if I've been gone all week, I want to spend as much time with you on the weekends as possible. I always, every time I leave her, I'm like, oh, she's thinking, gosh, Mommy's leaving me again.

[Bert]

She doesn't think that I know she.

[Ashley]

Well, logically I know that.

[Bert]

But where does, Scott, where does your marriage fit into it, though? I mean, eventually, don't you have to spend one on one time with your husband in order for that relationship to stay healthy too?

[Ashley]

Yeah, I mean, yes, but at the same time, I mean, I think Scott and I probably spend more time together than most couples do. Also because I work early morning hours, so I'm home half the day and he works from home. So we spend a good amount of time together.

[Bert]

If two people are in the home and they're in different offices and they're working, that's not really together time. That's just being in the house together.

[Ashley]

Well, you haven't been to our house. It's pretty small

[Jabron]

here. Is that Jennifer?

[Bert]

Hey, Jennifer. Good morning, Yellow.

[Kelsey]

Hey.

[Bert]

Hey.

[Kelsey]

I have a three year old and a two year old, and up until about last month, they had never been away from me. Never. My husband and I didn't have date nights by ourselves. If we went to dinner, the kids went with us. And that's just. It was normal for us.

[Bert]

Is that because you had nobody else to take care of the baby or that was by choice?

[Kelsey]

No. I mean, I have a great mom and, you know, we have great friends. It's just, they're mine. I'm supposed to take care of them.

[Jen]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

I didn't want to be like the

[Kelsey]

other young moms who just kind of pawn their kids off on everybody. Everyone. I just didn't want that.

[Ashley]

I think, too, for me, the first couple of months that she was here, I was so insecure about what I was able to do as a mom, and I was so insecure about knowing what she needed when she needed it that I felt like when we were around family, you know, the other, you know, my mom, my stepmom, I mean, I was there, but I was so willing to hand her off because I felt like she was in better hands with them because I didn't know what I was doing. So I think I have a little bit of guilt about that, that I was so able to pass her on to somebody else.

[Bert]

Then are you a little bit nervous? So, like, when you're not around or Scott's not around, she's just gonna freak. Like, she doesn't have. That's the only thing that she knows. Like, you basically have become her security blanket, I guess.

[Ashley]

But if your mommy is your security blanket, is that such a bad thing?

[Bert]

If you could be there 24, 7 until she's 25 years old and out of the house?

[Ashley]

And I think that every parent has different. There's different parenting styles. And I'm a firm believer that there's no right way or wrong way. You know, I mean, everybody does things differently because every child and every couple and every person is different totally. You know, and that's just the way that I've chosen to do things. And I've gotten so many emails from people when we've talked about the co sleeping thing or the fact that she sleeps in my room. You know, yes, people have opinions that it's the wrong thing to do, but I've gotten more emails from people saying, trust your instinct. And also, I've done the same thing. And my children are more independent than other kids that are in school with them. One thing you said that. And this ended up being a conversation that Katie and I had a few weeks ago about just things that we are uncomfortable seeing women pit against each other on. And you talk about the working mom guilt and the way you raise your kid guilt, and I guess the way that, you know, people may have a difference of opinion. But what I would really love to see more is women. Like, she just said, I don't want to be like those other women that pawn their kids off at other people. Like, I wish the language was more inclusive where women were not so competitive with each other when it comes to motherhood that they. You know what I mean? Like, that people aren't judging Tracy on what she's doing. They just say, hey, you know, it's just different. You know, Ella's still gonna be fine regardless of what Tracy does.

[Bert]

Stacey and I were just talking about this last night. Cause we have a friend that's going through really, like, extreme postpartum depression right now. And it's so different than when our parents were first time parents or their parents were, because literally the mom stayed home and she had the help of other moms in the neighborhood and y' all were raising each other's children and it was accepted. Nowadays, it's just not like that. Half the moms are at work, half the moms are staying home. And while it's not competitive, there's just not that support system that's as installed as it was back in the day.

[Ashley]

But I have no problem with working moms. I will choose to be a working mother and Katie will choose to be a working mother. And, you know, it's just, though, that the attitude. It doesn't matter that the women aren't in the neighborhood helping me out or I'm not in the neighborhood helping other women out. It's is the fact that when they're at work and I'm at home, that I'm not judging the woman that's home, you know, home mom. And that she's not judging me because I'm guilty, too. I don't have working mom guilt because I think that it's wrong to be a working mom. I don't certainly judge myself, nor am I judging somebody else. It's just. I just feel guilty for leaving her, you know? And I think that if you asked most working moms, I think that they would say the same thing. They enjoy their careers, they want to have a career. They want to be a person separate from being a mom. But at the same time, in the back of your mind, you're always wondering, would it be better for my child if I were home?

[Jen]

And I think a lot of the working moms, too, feel like they're never good enough really, at anything, that they're not good enough as a mom or they're not good enough at work. They sort of feel halfway between both. That's typically what my friends that are working moms have said their struggle is. They don't feel like they're good enough anywhere.

[Ashley]

Because you think about all the things that you could be doing with her if you weren't working, you know, right now, if I weren't working, like, I could be taking her to those Mommy and Me music classes or those, you

[Jeff]

know, like, well, Scott's taking her there, right?

[Ashley]

Be taking her playgroups.

[Jeff]

Isn't Scott doing the music class with her?

[Ashley]

He actually offered when I told him I felt guilty about it, but here's Farvel.

[Bert]

Good morning. You're on Q100.

[Kelsey]

Good morning, guys. Great show.

[Bert]

Thank you.

[Kelsey]

I am listening to you and oh my God, you guys are touching upon so many subjects that I've experienced. I have three children myself with my husband, of course. That's one of them right there.

[Jeff]

Put him in a closet.

[Kelsey]

Three and a half year old and a nine month old and talking about this, not leaving your children with your, with anyone else that you don't trust. With my first, who's now five and a half, up until she was 18 months, only once did we leave her with someone and that was for an hour.

[Whitney]

Wow.

[Kelsey]

Yeah. I mean, and it was, you know, and like I said, you guys are touching upon so many subjects. I remember doing it all alone. And still now we used to, this is when we used to live in Orlando and now we live here in Atlanta. And we've never had family around with us. I'm from Canada, mine is up in Canada and my husband's from San Diego. And so we've been doing it all by ourselves. So we kind of almost had no choice. But even when they visited, I was very reluctant to leave my children with them because just the lack of experience of being around them. And I get what she's saying that just, just she's not, she wasn't used to being around anybody else. So you have that guilt of, oh my gosh, are they worried about whether or not you're going to come back? Also, we had children later in life. I mean, I'm not that old, but I was 32 and I wanted to

[Jabron]

have children quite later.

[Jeff]

Sorry, Melissa.

[Ashley]

Yeah, thanks.

[Bert]

I'm an agent.

[Whitney]

Thank you.

[Jeff]

It really hits hard to Melissa this week.

[Ashley]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Bert]

But I bet your attitude was different with the third than it was the first, right?

[Kelsey]

No, no, I have not left her. No. And I had a career before. I am a nurse. I. What? I mean, I am a nurse. I was a nurse. I haven't worked in five years now. And it's a sacrifice that, you know, I've chosen to make. Now, whether or not my career will be waiting for me when I'm done with child rearing and childbearing, that's something we'll have to see. But that's the choice I've made. And, and it's kind of like, what, what? Am I willing to give up my children? Am I willing to take that chance and have them raised by someone else? And, you know, it's your future.

[Jeff]

Tracy.

[Kelsey]

Sorry.

[Jeff]

No, go ahead. I mean, no, don't.

[Bert]

I mean, I think we got it.

[Jeff]

Thank you.

[Bert]

I think we got it.

[Jeff]

Thanks for calling.

[Bert]

Thanks for calling. Anything that she said right there, strike at your heart.

[Ashley]

Well, I just know because I want to specify because this conversation always gets back to my mom. I have no problems with my mom taking care of Ella. I1 trust my parents.

[Bert]

You don't think your mom's a good grandparent?

[Ashley]

No, my mother is a wonderful mother. A wonderful grandparent. If I'm gonna leave Ella with anybody, it's going to be my mother. But it's more of an emotional thing on my end. It's not trusting.

[Jeff]

You know what I think could be cool? Because this would. She should be. No Melissa. Why are you gonna do that?

[Bert]

I'm sorry.

[Jeff]

Go ahead. What I think you should do is I think some morning you should bring Ella in here, have Scott bring Ella in here, we'll all watch her, like teen parenting. And then you and Scott can go have like breakfast together.

[Ashley]

You know what? Everybody else in the room but you.

[Bert]

[Ashley]

When I got a new car, I thought my insurance premium would increase and empty my bank account like if a tween won the lottery.

[Bert]

I've invested most of my winnings in chicken tenders because they're bomb. But bro, I bought a house and it's sick, bro. I'm thinking the floor is gonna be all trampoline, bro, with a helipad on the roof.

[Jabron]

The contractor said it's structurally unsound, but

[Bert]

they're just being babies.

[Ashley]

But switching to Geico saved me hundreds. So my bank account is safe.

[Kelsey]

The Bird show previously on the Bird Show.

[Whitney]

First of all, I live in a gated townhome community, so he obviously knows the code to get in here every day. And he comes in about 9:45 every day, and it's just Monday through Friday. And he pretty much gets out of his car. Sometimes he'll grab something out of the trunk or the backseat when he's walking down there. He's also looking around to see if anyone's looking at him. And then he goes in the townhome. He goes in for about four or five minutes and comes back out, go to his car and then drives away. Every day, same time, like on the dot.

[Bert]

All right, so we started speculating earlier this morning. Like, what could this guy be up to? We got calls he's a drug dealer.

[Ashley]

He's. Excuse me. He's growing pot in the basement.

[Bert]

He's growing pot.

[Ashley]

Empty townhouse.

[Jen]

Yeah, he's an aquarium specialist.

[Bert]

Aquarium specialist. This is the place he poops every day.

[Monique]

Seriously?

[Bert]

We got it. All right, so we're now curious, just like Whitney is what this dude's all about. But she said he shows up at 9:45 every morning. So at least our intention will be by tomorrow morning, maybe send somebody out there or just try to figure out what this guy's intention is. And we just wanted to check in with Whitney just to make sure he's still consistent. He's there today. So Whitney's back on. Hey, Whitney.

[Whitney]

Hello.

[Bert]

He didn't show today, did he?

[Whitney]

No, he's here right now.

[Monique]

He is?

[Jabron]

Oh, nice.

[Jen]

Okay.

[Bert]

He is. So he pulled up, same spot, parked the BMW.

[Whitney]

It was about 9:43 this morning. I mean. I mean, he's pretty much on the dot every day.

[Kelsey]

Wow.

[Whitney]

It's part of his day right now. He got out of the car, and this is weird. Like, notice the last couple days, you know, the weather's been nice outside. He's been putting a leather coat on like he's had in the past. He's been zooming all winter. He put his jacket on. When he got out of the car. He put his jacket on and then has his hands, like, in his pockets and is walking. You walked down there, went behind there. He's still there right now.

[Bert]

So he has his hands in his pants pocket or in the jacket pocket?

[Whitney]

In the jacket pocket.

[Bert]

I have no idea why that was important.

[Whitney]

Like, I don't know if it's the whole drug deal thing. And maybe he's bringing it down there, I don't know. But he just always seems to have a jacket. I just seen with the weather so nice, it just seems kind of odd.

[Ashley]

I think now we're looking for things, you know. Oh, it's weird. He's got a leather jacket on.

[Whitney]

He's walking back to his car right now. And the jacket's off.

[Ashley]

The jacket's off.

[Bert]

So he got there at 9:43, it's now 9:48. Like and you told us this morning five minutes he's in, he said. Did he go inside the house?

[Ashley]

Follow the car. Follow the car.

[Bert]

He went inside the house today, that townhouse?

[Whitney]

Yeah. Well, I mean I couldn't, I couldn't go down to see exactly. But I mean I know he goes

[Ashley]

down there and he doesn't have his leather jacket on. Going back to the house.

[Whitney]

Car he just put in his car. And now he's getting in and he's about to drive away.

[Bert]

How old do you think he is?

[Whitney]

He looks like he's in his 30s.

[Jen]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Was he wearing glasses?

[Jen]

This is really weird.

[Bert]

Hair parted on the right. It's weird. Now I'm curious man.

[Ashley]

Cause it's just that he's in there for five minutes. What is he doing in there for five minutes? It's so much part of his morning routine.

[Jeff]

What if we'd got an. I'm just curious where somebody called up the radio station and said they were listening to the radio station tell a story about a guy and they're curious. It's like holding a mirror up to a mirror.

[Jen]

Weird.

[Jabron]

Never ends.

[Bert]

Okay, so we have to have. I mean if we were gonna do this, we could have somebody there like at 9:30 and be safe because he's there at 9:40ish. And he's only there for five minutes every day. Goes into a townhouse. This townhouse that he goes into. How many homes is it away from you? Five, ten?

[Whitney]

I would say. Yeah, five or six maybe. I mean it's like a long strain of like townhomes.

[Ashley]

So it's a different building than you're in or.

[Kelsey]

No, no.

[Bert]

Okay. And you said he.

[Whitney]

I don't want to say exactly what I'm in.

[Bert]

And you say he just looks shifty, like he's always looking around.

[Kelsey]

Uh huh.

[Whitney]

I mean he did the same thing. Like when he comes back out, he looks around too and he's like to see if anyone's looking at him.

[Bert]

Like what if we just had like one of the Interns out in the back of the townhouse that he normally goes to.

[Jeff]

Just out for a walk.

[Bert]

Just out for a walk.

[Whitney]

A lot of people walk their dogs around here all the time in the back.

[Bert]

Does he seem to avoid people as they approach him or they're walking their dogs or whatever?

[Whitney]

No one's usually out there, like, when he's coming, because a lot of people walk their dogs, like, early in the morning or.

[Jen]

I'm not comfortable with sending an intern. Couldn't we send a police officer who's a friend at the show or something?

[Jeff]

Why would you send a police officer?

[Ashley]

What about a pit bull?

[Jeff]

Because what if the intern was walking a pit bull?

[Bert]

Yeah, I don't want to put a police officer in the way of harm,

[Ashley]

but if he's doing anything.

[Jen]

Yeah, but a police officer could protect themselves.

[Ashley]

Yeah, I agree with Jen. Like, if they're doing something illegal, he's gonna be. I'm curious, though.

[Whitney]

Maybe like an undercover cop or something,

[Ashley]

or if it's somebody that we have, regardless, walking a dog or doing something and see if he changes his, you know, routine. What if he does not go in there?

[Bert]

Hey, Bobby, Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Kelsey]

Hey, good morning. It's an empty townhouse, and he's a real estate agent opening the house to be seen in the back.

[Bert]

From the back, though? Yeah, every day from the back.

[Ashley]

Most realtors I know, there's a little

[Jen]

key lock box at the front on the front door. And is there a for sale sign in the front yard?

[Whitney]

Not that I know. I mean, I could go down and look later on, but maybe.

[Kelsey]

Maybe he just has a key for a back entrance, and he comes in the back and opens the front and everything.

[Bert]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Ashley]

I mean, I guess this is a recession. How expensive are those lock boxes on the front?

[Bert]

So nobody's selling houses, right? Maybe he has to break into his own house that he sells.

[Jeff]

Or maybe he just leaves it open so people can see it, and then he's just going by to make sure

[Bert]

it's gonna be something really basic like that. Like we have this whole drug thing in our head. It's gonna be something.

[Jen]

But it's only five minutes. I don't know, just to come in

[Bert]

and open it up. Hey, Katrina. Good morning.

[Whitney]

Hey, good morning, guys.

[Bert]

Hi.

[Kelsey]

I have two theories related to the drug thing. He could actually be. Not necessarily getting the drugs, like, for himself, or getting. Giving something to the person living there. He could actually be, like, a middleman. Supply and Actually be picking it up from that location and delivering it to someone else. Or he could be an undercover cop trying to investigate a drug rape that's happening. That might happen at that point.

[Jeff]

Well, then he's the worst undercover cop in history because we're talking about him on the radio. You know what it is? What if it's like his drop spot? Like that's where the one dude comes in the middle of the night and leaves the stash and then he comes by and picks it up and delivers it.

[Ashley]

Or maybe it's somebody who's being held, kidnapped in that basement, bringing him food.

[Jen]

Bringing him food every day.

[Jeff]

I know what we need to do.

[Bert]

You watch too much Dexter.

[Jeff]

Here's how we. Here's what we have to do is we have to set up. And we can have. We can have an intern do this whenever, super early in the morning, whatever, but set up a video camera really close to the house so we can then watch the tape and see what he does when he goes in there and comes back out. Now, as long as I'm sure that's legal.

[Bert]

We always have these elaborate plans that we're always too lazy to execute. Send somebody out there.

[Jeff]

We already have a surveillance camera. And all you have to do is put it on public property and point it at the house.

[Bert]

Not one that's working great.

[Jeff]

It doesn't work.

[Whitney]

No.

[Jeff]

Well, we just use a cheap little camcorder.

[Bert]

I don't know. We'll figure something out.

[Jabron]

Whitney, the regular guys aren't here today.

[Jeff]

They got like 30 cameras in their studio. Just take one of them.

[Bert]

So Whitney, Tomorrow morning around 9, 30 or something, we'll give you a shout and we'll figure out something over the next 24 hours. Maybe a camera. Maybe we'll send somebody down there. But we'll start to get some answers.

[Lady Luck]

Answers.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Jen]

Yeah. Because now we want the SBS as much as you do.

[Bert]

Yeah, now it's about us.

[Jeff]

Great. Now we're just curious.

[Ashley]

We want to save the person in the basement.

[Whitney]

I thought about the only curious one.

[Jabron]

The bird show.

[Jeff]

Oh, I have had no luck lately.

[Jabron]

Wait.

[Ashley]

Lady Luck Bretzky.

[Jen]

Car.

[Kelsey]

Car.

[Jabron]
