Jeff
The Bird show.
Jen
We were talking, you know, just a minute ago about the van, you know, going back to. What's that? Probably elementary school and even a little middle school. And I was watching on TV some one of those like 80s, you know, fast times at Ridgemont High. Movies or whatever, classics. Tracy, you can go stand your.
Melissa
Burt.
Crash
Oh, we have places.
Burt
So I thought exits places.
Melissa
People exit stage left even.
Jen
I thought of a contest, you know, kind of like a bet that we could do. And I'll need Crash and Melissa to share a microphone and then Jen, if you could come over here.
Crash
Okay.
Jen
Because this is a team.
Melissa
Oh, no, this is.
Jeff
We have to share a microphone. Or can I just.
Melissa
Close to Melissa. This is Jeff's party pocket bit.
Burt
Hey, I hope that this has nothing to do with naming as many people as you can think of from high school because I graduated with 19 show Hans.
Jen
Yeah, we're good.
Crash
All right, Crash. Hands on the table, hun.
Jen
Hands on the table. Oh, for the guys. Women, you can do whatever you want.
Jeff
With this hand to touch me where I peek.
Jen
Now here's.
Caller/Listener
No, he didn't oh my.
Crash
God, you are that uncle.
Melissa
What is the matter?
Crash
You are the uncle that kids are scared to go see.
Melissa
What's the matter with you?
Jen
Melissa, do you want filterana and say.
Crash
I was about to say no, I can handle.
Burt
Crash. I can handle.
Jeff
I'm sorry.
Jen
So I'm watching this 80s movie and I know that, guys, this is going to be relatable to all of us, to Jen and Melissa and Tracy. Just so that you know, listeners know, Burt is partnered with our producer, Tracy. Crash and Melissa are on one team, and then Jen and I are on another team.
Melissa
Okay, is this going to be a competition? Because if so, I feel sad for you because Jen is as competitive as it gets and Carter over here also.
Jen
It's a competition. And I think it's more. I mean, it's more for bragging rights. Like the guys are going to be the ones to leave with the bragging rights. But the girls are on our team.
Crash
I'm afraid of them.
Jen
Well, let me explain it. Like, you guys always knew the amount of pressure that would come when you were out on a date and you were kind of fooling around and it came time to unhook the bra.
Caller/Listener
Oh boy.
Jen
Right?
Jeff
Okay.
Jen
Like, is there any more pressure for a guy than unhooking a bra?
Melissa
I just now got all sorts of anxiety.
Crash
I am so glad.
Burt
I am so glad the Crash is on my team.
Melissa
Woo.
Jeff
Hey, just Jeff, her bra's already off.
Jen
Crash has her bra in his pocket.
Jeff
I hear the Clint Eastwood music already.
Burt
No, it's cause Melissa burned hers years ago.
Melissa
Shouldn't there be like a horse race almost where you and I should be handicapped? Cause is obviously the fight.
Jen
I envision Crash doing something like this.
Jeff
And it's off.
Jen
Bam. Right through the cherry.
Crash
Office mates and Crash have been trying to get my bra off for years, so he's gonna be speedy on this.
Jen
Am I safe to assume that all women here have a bra that clasped in the back this morning?
Burt
Yes.
Melissa
Oh, no.
Burt
Uh, oh.
Melissa
You don't have a bra at all in the front.
Winner.
Jen
Well, guess what? The new intern's getting broken in. Oh, hers is in the front too.
Crash
Hers is in the front too.
Jeff
Well, let's get Leslie Fram.
Melissa
I'm not going.
Jen
Yeah, we need somebody in the building with a back clasping bra. Unless.
Crash
Mandy.
Melissa
How about Phil?
Burt
Wait, Intern Mandy might have one.
Jen
Mandy.
Jeff
She's got one here.
Burt
She's got one. Here she comes.
Melissa
Oh, this would be fun.
Jen
Mandy, you're on Birch team. Sorry.
Jeff
Oh, that's a hell of a Switch between Tracy and.
Jen
Wow.
Crash
Jeff has come up with. This is a race to unhook our bras.
Melissa
Yeah. You're stunned by this.
Jen
Yeah. So I think what we'll do is we'll. We'll do a countdown and then we will all attempt to unhook the res.
Melissa
Yeah.
Jen
Two hands. What do you guys want to do?
Crash
I think it should be a one handed.
Melissa
One handed thing because when you were making out back in the day.
Burt
Okay, now do we have to be facing you guys or our best?
Jeff
How are we doing this?
Jen
No, I think we think.
Melissa
Right, so then, I mean, it should be as authentic as possible.
Crash
Yeah. Jeff, it's your game. How'd you.
Jeff
Well, if it's all fishing this.
Burt
I feel like I'm in seventh grade.
Caller/Listener
I'm getting sweaty palms.
Crash
And I'm sitting here going, how do I tell him I'm gay? How do I tell him I'm gay?
Jeff
There is absolutely no reason that I'm not gonna be here till Jeff Miles comes on. I'm taking my time.
I finally get to go up Melissa's shirt. I'm not getting out fast.
Jen
So are we all in agreement that Crash probably will win this?
Melissa
Oh, yeah, he'd be that hands on favorite.
Jen
I don't know.
Melissa
Oh, yeah, for sure. I haven't had to do this in a long time.
Jeff
Well, you don't understand.
Melissa
You probably did this just two weeks ago.
Jeff
My Neanderthal brain knows not for.
Gunga wants sex. No, brah.
Melissa
We both have children. You understand this is just all about business, right? And I know the sexual tension that's been going on between you and I at this point. Let's try to put that aside.
Jen
Okay, so this is now. Here are people.
Burt
Oh, wait, where's Phil?
And Phil wants to be in on this.
Melissa
He doesn't have anybody's.
Jen
He doesn't wear a bra. Jen, those stand up like that on their own.
Jeff
Yeah.
Melissa
That'S.
Crash
Me and Jeff should be talking.
Jen
All right, so are we all. If we're gonna put money in, are we betting on Crash?
Melissa
Oh, I would bet on Crash.
Jeff
I wouldn't. I'm telling you.
Crash
This is so bizarre.
Caller/Listener
Do we face.
Burt
This is like a surreal moment on the Bird show. This is weird. This is worse than the football kissing game.
Melissa
You make the rules. I don't care.
Crash
This is weird.
Jen
I think we just. I think. I think we get in position so, like, Jen would stand right in front of me.
Melissa
See, I don't think this is a real fair competition. And I. I'm. I hope I'm not being insensitive.
Jen
I mean, if you wanted to do it really fair, we technically should be in the backseat of my 1986 Mercury MAR help.
Melissa
Fecal finder. I'm just saying that there are some bras. Women with smaller breasts have less clasps than women with larger breasts. Correct?
Jeff
That's right. You could be here all day with hers.
Melissa
And Mandy here. Yeah, she's got huge boobs. So this. I've got. I've got more obstacles to go around than y' all do.
Jen
It's the luck of the draw.
Burt
I mean, Jeff, you really have very few obstacles.
Jeff
All Jeff has to do is sneeze, and Jen's gonna come off.
Melissa
How do you get off a training bra?
Crash
Now, that's insens.
Burt
It's like a sports bra. You have to take it over my head.
Jeff
You gotta get over the romper room tag first.
Melissa
My little bra.
Burt
It's not even an A. It's almost an A.
Caller/Listener
Is the size.
Melissa
Come on.
Burt
No, it's not really.
Jeff
It's like teaspoons with material on them.
Crash
But I'm sure she. Yeah, whatever. Go ahead.
Melissa
All right.
Jen
Hey, Melissa, when's the last time a man removed your bra?
Crash
Yeah, I can't remember.
Jen
So if ever. Here's what we'll do is we'll do a countdown, and then it'll be on your market set, go. And then we. I'll do. It'll be 1, 2, 3, go. We all go on. Go.
Melissa
Okay.
Jen
And then it's.
Crash
Wait, we raise our hands.
Burt
Phil has to officiate. Phil, you gotta be the referee.
Crash
I'm not lifting my shirt to show anybody anything. I think that we can just go.
Jen
By the way, raise our hand.
Crash
But we feel that the bra has been on class.
Jeff
How about when the bra is off, we pull it out from the shirt and swing it around.
Burt
I can't believe we're doing this.
Crash
I can't even.
Melissa
I can't believe you guys didn't even fight. You got instantly got up, came right over to us. Jeff said what the rules were, and you guys were like, all right.
Crash
Based on the vibe of the room and the past conversations, if we said anything against this.
Burt
Ah, you're a bit killer, you women.
Caller/Listener
You get fatty bitty bit.
Jen
So here's the deal.
Melissa
We do it the way we do it. Wouldn't he?
Jen
We do it.
Crash
Oh, God.
Jen
We do an anti woman bit, and then it's one man gets to have sex with Melissa, and she'll do it. Just to not be a bit killer.
Crash
Right?
Jen
All right, we ready you ready to do this?
Melissa
You can't have your hands like that. I can't get.
Jeff
I gotta go up your shirt there, hot stuff.
Jen
So I'm.
Burt
This is his idea.
Announcer
You were the only man in.
Jen
Ryan's asleep. Right.
Announcer
Who has touched my bra besides my husband.
Melissa
Well, you're the only woman in 10 years that. That I. Yeah. You know.
Jen
So I'm gonna do 1, 2, 3, go, and then we all. So it'll be 1, 2, 3.
Burt
This is really awkward.
Jeff
Melissa's already got her hand on my shoulder.
Melissa
She's like, take me, big boy.
Crash
I'm competitive. We're gonna win this thing.
Jeff
Now we're using two hands. As many as we want, right?
Melissa
Just one hand.
Jeff
Oh, it's one hand.
Jen
Okay, one hand standing.
Jeff
Does it matter that I have a boo Boo on my finger?
Jen
I'm going right. You're going like that. Okay.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
All right.
Burt
You ready?
Melissa
I'm going on this way.
Burt
Oh, I'm really nervous about this.
Jen
Okay, you ready?
Melissa
Yep.
Jen
Is anybody else feeling the seventh grade tension or ninth. Tenth grade tension?
Melissa
Totally.
Jen
We're like, okay, ready? We sure already?
Jeff
Yeah. I'm taking my time.
Jen
Hey, Mandy, was this in the intern description?
Melissa
If it wasn't, write it in.
Crash
Okay, go.
Melissa
All right, ready?
Jen
One, two, three, go.
Jeff
I don't want to, like.
Jen
I can't.
Burt
Jeff's done.
Jen
Jeff's done.
Jeff
I couldn't get you.
Caller/Listener
Damn it.
Melissa
Oh, I can't tell you how awkward that was. I couldn't get anywhere near it. I wasn't even close. I got one.
Jeff
I got one. I got one.
Melissa
I didn't even get one.
Jeff
I got one. Damn.
Jen
Oh, I can't high five Jen. Cause she's getting dressed.
Crash
Jeff, let me just ask a question.
Burt
He was actually really good at it, you guys.
Melissa
Yeah, I didn't even get one. Unclassed.
Crash
What was the motivate? Why? What sparked? I'm just curious how you came up with this contest.
Jen
I was watching some stupid, you know, movie that was running, like, in one of those marathon things on cable. And one of the scenes in the movie was a guy just trying to unhook the girl's bra. And it was just very funny because he kept doing it and kept doing it. And I'm like, oh, my God. I remember I used to be pretty good at that.
Melissa
No, I'll tell you what this is all about. This is Jeff getting, like, the sexual harassment handbook two weeks ago and trying to figure out how to get around it.
Jen
How can I still touch boob and.
Jeff
Say it's a bit well, you know what? You know what they say the old urban legend, myth or whatever is when you have a bra that's just your basic two clasper, you take your thumb and your finger and you put them in between. You snap your fingers, and that moves them both at the same time. That's exactly the technique I did to Melissa, but the tag got in the way. But basically, that's what you do.
Melissa
I never could get it. I never could get it wrong. I was always stumbling and bumbling and finally had to use both hands.
Jeff
Yeah, you just kind of give it the old side to side.
Melissa
Then there's that awkward moment where you realize you can't get it done, and she realizes you can't get it done, and then she starts to take it off for it.
Crash
That totally reminds me one movie that came to mind, like the Animal House, when he was like. Remember when he was just pulling and tugging and he tried to cut it with the scissors?
Jen
Yeah. I'll tell you what. Is there anything worse? And you know what? I shouldn't have asked the question, but is there anything worse than you going for the back and having to be a front? And you find you're searching, you're rubbing the back, you're looking for the clasp, and then the girl, it's in the front.
Melissa
Right.
Crash
And of course, she has to wait to tell you because she always loves for the guy to have to do a little searching and sweat a little bit.
Melissa
Good morning. All the hits. Q100.
Caller/Listener
Hey, Bert, how's it going? This is Jeremiah.
Melissa
Hey, Jeremiah.
Caller/Listener
I wanted to give you a lesson on how to unhook a bra from the back.
Melissa
Okay.
Caller/Listener
Is there. Pick somebody, I guess, and get in front of them.
Burt
Oh, I was gonna coach. You know what? Step by step.
Jeff
Here we go again.
Burt
Go ahead. Enter Mandy.
Crash
Oh, my God.
Melissa
Okay, you ready? Yeah.
Caller/Listener
Okay, take your left hand and put it around her back and stick your index finger between the bra strap and her back, right underneath where it. Right behind where it clips.
Melissa
Got it.
Jeff
I'm there.
Caller/Listener
Take your middle finger and your thumb and squeeze around your index finger to kind of make a little bow in the bra where the clasp is. Yep.
Melissa
Not working.
Caller/Listener
And then you take your finger out and it. And it. You know, it's like a little bit of slack, and it just pops it right open.
Crash
I see what you're saying.
Melissa
See what you got.
Crash
Now?
Jeff
Do you have. Now maybe you have the one or two clasps? Where do you have, like, the four Shotter?
Melissa
That's just two.
Jen
Just two?
Melissa
Yeah.
Jen
What was yours? Carter, one or two?
Crash
Two minus two.
Burt
But Jeff did snap. Snap.
Melissa
Very nicely done.
Burt
Very well.
Jeff
Very good, Jeff.
Jen
Okay everybody, let's rotate.
Jeff

Melissa
For those of you that don't know, let's be honest is we all come in here with questions for each other, but they're anonymous and they're pretty. I mean, they're. They're questions that are basically designed to make you squirm. Alright, so Jeff has a whole pot full of questions.
Crash
It's a terracotta pot.
Burt
With Q100 painted on it.
Crash
How impressive.
Jen
This is our official let's be honest pot.
Melissa
And we've all agreed that we will answer these questions honestly. And the last time we did this, it got really ugly because the questions were really hard and they made you squirm and they hurt people around us. So we swore it off and then decided to bring the one I pulled.
Jen
I'm gonna set aside because we have to get Crash. It was for Crash.
Crash
Okay.
Melissa
Okay.
Jen
But the one that fell out while I was pulling it was for Melissa.
Melissa
I'm a little nervous about these. I gotta be honest with you. I'm. This. I'm this close to peeing.
Jen
This one's. This one's for me. So I'll let Jen ask. Okay.
Burt
Are you ready?
Jen
I am ready.
Burt
It says.
If you could have lost your virginity to someone you have met since, who would it be and why?
Melissa
That's it.
Crash
Nothing's easy.
Melissa
Yeah, you got a softball there. That's cool.
Jen
Jessica Simpson.
Burt
Oh. Do celebrities count?
Jen
Does it say they don't?
Melissa
Oh, I think this was a question from the women trying to get you. Is this a. Trying to corner him into a. An answer that would get him in trouble with Jessica?
Burt
No.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Okay.
Burt
I don't think so. So you would have lost your virginity to Jessica Simpson?
Jeff
Why?
Melissa
Hello, Jessica Simpson. Yeah, hi.
Burt
Not because she was a virgin too?
Caller/Listener
No.
Burt
Oh, okay.
Jen
Because she looks like Jessica Simpson.
Melissa
Don't have to say anything more as far as I'm concerned.
Jeff
There you go.
Crash
Yeah. Note to Jeff. You should have said Jessica dollar.
Melissa
We need to get a bigger pot because Jeff's hand doesn't fit in there.
Jen
Okay, here's this. Crash's question.
Melissa
Bert. Yep.
Jen
Bring it.
It's an election year and you are running for president. Which member of the show do you choose as your running mate and why?
Melissa
Oh, that's a good one.
Caller/Listener
That is good.
Jen
That's a good question.
Melissa
Who would I choose as my running mate and why? Well, I can't have Melissa because 3/4 of the country wouldn't allow a gay vice president. So, Melissa, I love you, but I can't. I'm not that progressive yet, and I really want the presidency.
Jen
I'm gonna say you can't go with Jen because of the Howard Dean incident. I think she's prone to outbursts like that.
Melissa
I couldn't pick Crash because inevitably, you know, Crash has something in his past that would come out and be. That would ruin our candidacy.
Crash
Or he would be drunk at a debate.
Melissa
Or he'd be drunk at a debate.
Jen
Right, the debate buzz.
Melissa
Right. Jeff, I would be scared to have you as the vice president because I'd always feel like there was some kind of phone scam around the corner or some manipulation going on that was going to make me look like an ass on national television.
Jen
Hey, Samo bin lads on the phone. Psych.
Melissa
So I think I would have to go with Jen Hobby as. As the woman that could do the most politically correct of anybody and probably walk the line. I'd go with Jen Hobby then, I think, as my vice president. Yeah.
Burt
But as soon as they dig up my past, you're screwed.
Melissa
They go into your house and find 12 jackrabbits, you are screwed.
Burt
Dude, you should have just picked producer Tracy. Cause she's kind of the innocent one.
Melissa
See, it's the innocent ones you gotta watch out for, you know? And then it's not her background I'm worried about. You have to take a look at your spouse's and girlfriend's and boyfriend's background too. And I know that Scott guy's into some weird crap.
Jen
I gotta try and Crash.
Jeff
He is kind of creepy. If you look. You look at him in the hallways and he's always got that tilt to his head.
Melissa
Yeah. So, Jen, you're the vice president.
Burt
All right, hang on.
Jen
I got a question for Crash, but I put it back in. Oh, here it is. Question for Crash.
Jeff
No, I'm not drunk right now. Next story.
Jen
Let's be honest, okay? For Crash.
I don't like this question.
Crash
Oh, read it.
Jeff
I don't care. Nothing can hurt my feeling. I'm an armadillo.
Melissa
That's just a way of saying it's too easy.
Jen
No, it's not. If you had to sleep with the significant other of someone on the Burt show.
Melissa
Oh, wow.
Jeff
It would be Ryan.
I've always wanted to do a rock star. Baby.
Melissa
I said he is a purdy man. He is a purdy man.
Jen
Who would you choose and why?
Jeff
Instantly. I would do Stacy.
Melissa
Really?
Jeff
Oh, she's too cute. She's little, she's petite. I'd throw her around. I'd manhandle her. I would.
Melissa
I'm comfortable with this.
Jeff
Don't get me wrong. And it's funny because, I mean. And Jessica, you're very beautiful. I love you to death and everything. It's just that there's just something about Stacy that I think she's just ultra cute and sexy, by the way.
Melissa
I don't think Lee's ever coming home now because of that answer.
Jeff
Hey, you want the truth?
Jen
What you're saying is Stacy can get done.
Announcer
Now.
Jen
Do I keep doing. I forgot how he did this. Dude. Are we like I draw a bird again? So do I ask him again or do you?
Burt
No, we gotta. You gotta dig for one for Melissa.
Crash
Right?
Melissa
That would really be nice.
Crash
I thought you had one for me.
Melissa
I think everybody should have to ask. Yeah, everybody should just get one.
Jen
You've gone or. No.
Burt
No, I have not.
Jen
All right. So Melissa and Jenner left.
Melissa
Yup.
Crash
Yup.
Jen
Melissa.
Crash
Yes.
Jen
Oops.
Melissa
I'm very flattered, by the way. Just be gentle with her a little bit. I will bring her back just so I can. Over the next couple of months. She'll heal.
Jeff
Hey, you're the one that's buffing up there, big guy.
Burt
It'll take a while for it.
Melissa
I know.
Burt
Oh, my God.
Crash
See?
Melissa
Well, she's not used to anything like that. Right.
Crash
There's your vice president. Right.
Jen
Melissa, if a caller to the show retold the story of yours and not Lisa's breakup with every detail that you and she know, okay. Would you think the end of the relationship was more the fault of not Lisa or you and it was equal? Is not a possible answer.
Melissa
Wow. That is written by one Jeff Dollar, hands down.
Crash
So a listener knows the entire story, not just what I said on the air.
Melissa
100% truth.
Crash
I mean, not what I said on the air was a lie, but with.
Jen
Every detail that you and she know.
Melissa
For those of you in the office now, you know we've never revealed not Lisa's identity.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
No.
Melissa
If there's anybody in the office right now.
Burt
No, that's not fair.
Melissa
Turning up.
Crash
That's not fair.
Melissa
Turning up the radio or the computer could be her. Stop.
Crash
That's not fair.
Jen
If you're on the phone with someone and all of a sudden they stop.
Melissa
That could be not Lisa.
Crash
There's somebody, Blanche, in your office right now about to pass out if books.
Jeff
Come whizzing over your head from your. The partner in your next cubicle. It could be not Lisa, the only.
Crash
Reason I'm gonna say.
Cause Parvey wants to say me. I'd say me.
Burt
It's called. Let's be honest.
Crash
Yeah. I'd say me.
Melissa
Why?
Crash
Because I think that, you know, the true reason for our breakup is because of how things evolved after the illness. You know, like during the illness, our relationship was on a certain. At a certain speed. You know, it was at a certain, you know, had a certain routine going. And then after surgery, I'm the one that, you know, totally changed my vibe, my, you know, my actions, my. Because, you know, of course, you know, I had a new lease on life, and I would want to do all kinds of stuff, and I'm the only one that had that perspective of facing death and then coming out on the other side. And at least it didn't have that. So I would put the blame on me because I'm the one that initiated the change in momentum in our relationship. So I'd say me.
Jen
All right. All right.
Jeff
It just almost seems like you're. You're blaming your illness, which you really.
Crash
I'm not.
Jeff
No, you can't blame that. I mean, but I'm not.
Crash
I'm answering the question. I'm not blaming the illness, but that's how. That's reality. That's how you feel.
Melissa
Your perspective is different after the illness.
Crash
It has nothing to do with somebody else coming in our life. It has nothing else to do with the fact that we got in a fight over something that, you know, everything had to do with the fact that we didn't know how to handle how different our relationship was after I got well than before I got well.
Jeff
It has nothing to do with that manipulating, no good, cheating SOB woman named.
Jen
Oh, my God. You just gave it away.
Crash
I don't know.
Melissa
Yeah.
Crash
I don't know who you're talking about, but that's not Lisa.
Jeff
So right now, there's someone walking through the office going, I'm a not a no good. No good. That might be not Lisa.
Jen
Melissa just had to say the sentence. That's not. Not Lisa.
Crash
Yeah.
Melissa
Are you still hurting by the whole thing?
Caller/Listener
I'm.
Crash
I'm a lot better. I'm a lot better because I think once I. Once I started letting go because she let go before I did, and once I started letting go, I feel. I feel a lot. Not as. I don't know. It doesn't feel as heavy as it did before.
Melissa
What it was.
Jeff
It was just kind of funny that you actually said that. Are you still hurting?
Melissa
You're still hurting by the whole, yeah, I can be.
Burt
Not as.
Crash
Not as.
I can fight it in bird a lot. I know, not as much. I mean, I think I still have that cautious attitude going forward, but I'm not hurting regarding her as much as I was. Right.
Jeff
Well, I know she's getting better because I was. I was changing in our office that we share, and she took a double take at me. So things are getting better.
Melissa
Kids couldn't believe how small it was.
Jen
Yeah.
That was the back hair she was studying, not your ass.
Burt
She wondered how you got that swirl.
Jen
So the last man standing is one Jen Hobby.
Melissa
Oh, here come the tears. Oh, boy, here we go. Get ready.
Burt
You guys can't make fun of me anymore because I get really mean emails from people.
Jeff
All right, here's your question.
Melissa
When we talk about how sensitive you are.
Burt
Yes, I get really mean emails from people after we talk about how sensitive I am.
Oh, yeah, I mean, like really vicious, mean ones.
Melissa
Like, for example, really saying what?
Burt
I don't know. I could pull up one from yesterday. It was really mean.
Jen
What was the tone of it?
Burt
It was like, oh, first of all, they registered the domain name can't standjinhobbyahoo.com. oh, God, who would too?
And then they said, what time were.
Melissa
You on the computer yesterday, Jen?
Burt
And they just said. They just said really mean stuff. Every. It's funny because that person and like two or three others always email. Every time you guys talk about how much I cry on the radio or whatever, they're like, oh, you suck. Shut up.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
They're just.
Crash
They're jealous you're married.
Jen
Will you please send me an email from the address can't stand genhobby.com because that's funny to me.
Burt
Well, and I always think it's my old boss anyway.
Melissa
Oh, it could be. It could be.
Jen
You know, he's got plenty of time to register. Email address. What do you do in the privacy of your own home that you would never, ever do in front of us for fear of endless ridicule?
Melissa
Oh, I bet you've got a fistful.
Burt
Of these endless ridicule.
Jen
And I bet the answer involves the phrase fistful.
Burt
That I would never do in front of you guys.
Crash
Yeah.
Melissa
You know, like when we did Am I Normal? And that woman called up and she said before the Academy Awards, she gives a speech in her own house. Yeah. Or the woman that called up and said that she likes to tie herself up before her husband gets home and be rescued when he walks through the door. That kind of thing.
Burt
Not that weird. That was weird. I'm trying to think of something good. Cause I'm sure there's a bunch of these. But the first two that came to my mind were that I can sit in the. I can seriously sit in the mirror for hours and analyze and reanalyze my eyebrows and every little hair on my face. And seriously, like, I have. This is really gross. I have, like, man hairs that, like, come up on my face. And so I'm always checking it out to make sure that I can, like, pluck the random man hairs that come out of my face.
Melissa
I dated a chick like that one time, and we went skiing and the snowflakes were getting stuck in on her cheeks because of all the hair on her face.
Burt
No, it was.
Crash
It's not a lot that happens to.
Jen
Jen when she eats a powdered donut.
Burt
No, no, no. I'm just saying there's like, one or two which will sprout, and I.
Crash
Man hairs are different than peach fuzz. Peach fuzz is the one.
Burt
No, peach fuzz.
Crash
Man hair's like.
Burt
Man hair is like a coarse black hair.
Jeff
Man hair like fly hair, now that.
Melissa
I think about it.
Jen
I'm gonna snip them. Just for future reference, I will check.
Burt
My face every single day when I get home from work just to make sure one of those man hairs hasn't popped up.
Jen
For a future reference, that's called a face pube.
Crash
Is it a face pube?
Burt
And if you have them, if you get them on your nipples, they're nipple snakes.
Melissa
I think that might be a good.
Jeff
Time to.
Jen
By the performing at Music Midtown this year. Face pubes and nipple snakes on the same stage.
Burt
That's a weird thing, right?
Caller/Listener
That's pretty weird.
Melissa
Yeah.
I like the AFTER830 addendum to question.
Jeff
Do you have any nipple snakes?
Burt
Every once in a while? Yeah.
Crash
That is funny.
Jen
Neat.
Burt
But I checked for those, too. It's all about plucking.
Melissa
That's your introduction. Let's be honest.
Jen
Hey, I'm gonna go home and pluck my nipple snakes.
Burt
Get it?
Jeff
The bird show.

Jen
In case you didn't get a chance to hear the entire conversation on Friday, in case you just heard about this from your friends over the weekend or you heard our promo are running over the weekend, you don't know exactly what's going on here is in five minutes this is we'll flashback to Friday. This is Sarah on the Burt show on all the hits. Q100.
Melissa
Sarah, your coworker Jason called us up earlier this morning and he was telling us that we think that you have a really bad plan going down for your husband at the super bowl and you have his ticket, but you've decided to hold out on and not send it down there to teach him a lesson.
Sarah
That's right.
Melissa
So that's all accurate.
Burt
So Jason just, like, overheard you telling friends at the office this story.
Sarah
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure people at the office have been talking about it, especially guys, you know, because people have given me a hard time about it.
Melissa
But we're all trying to think what possibly he could have done over and over and over again for you to take such a drastic action like this. Because this is. I mean, this is really gonna be hurtful. You know that.
Sarah
Oh, you know what? I do know that. But that's, you know, unfortunately, the situation that he's presented for himself. You know what I mean?
Crash
Well, not really. That's what we're calling you. What is the situation?
Sarah
I've been married a year and a half to him, and he's great in every way except when it comes to, I guess, like, you know, adult house responsibilities. He really can't figure it out. And that's just a huge part of a marriage, in my opinion, and a huge part of a life with someone. But, you know, no one really understands what it's like to live with him. He basically. He starts things and doesn't finish them.
Burt
Like, what are we talking about?
Sarah
He can't finish anything.
Burt
What kind of projects are we talking about him not finishing around the house, off the bat?
Announcer
Okay.
Sarah
We have a loose tile in the entryway. Okay. And we've had it since we bought the place. It's a loose tile. It drives me nuts. He started work on the porch, on the back porch. Doesn't fix. I mean, I never finished it.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
So what?
Sarah
He never does the dishes. We will finish dinner. He'll put his dishes by the sink and doesn't wash them.
He'll go to the freezer and use up all the ice cubes of the ice cube trays and never refills them. He'll leave out his tools to fix something, and he just leaves them out, you know, and I end up picking them up. He can never, ever keep his office or the garage clean. It's like a pigsty. It's disgusting.
Crash
So have you spoken with him about these items that you've listed? And what has his response been on that?
Sarah
Constantly we speak about it. His big thing is, you know what? You know, I love you, but, you know, I'm sorry. I just. I don't have time, you know. Oh, my God. I got so busy, I forgot. That's the big thing. I'm just. I'm sorry. I'm so busy. I just forgot. I forgot to refill this or I forgot to do the dishes or I forgot to work on the porch or everything. You know, he's supposed to like, okay.
Melissa
He'S kind of irresponsible. He starts projects he doesn't finish.
Crash
And you've talked to him about it.
Melissa
And he doesn't respond. Okay, so that's the history here.
Burt
And this man is a faithful husband to you and treats you with respect?
Sarah
Yes.
Crash
So why, again my question, why this weekend?
Sarah
Because nothing else will get through to him to make him see that this is going to affect me in the marriage in the long run.
Melissa
You are gonna lose this guy. You are gonna lose a great guy.
Jen
Do you have the ticket in front of you or do you kind of seat it is in the arena in Houston.
Sarah
It's in a. What they. I guess a corporate section.
Melissa
It's gonna be a good seat.
Jen
Do you know what corporate section or where, where it is?
Sarah
No, it's just corporate section.
Burt
I don't.
Sarah
I know nothing about it. He told me it's like 12 rows back off the 40 yard line.
Jeff
Oh, God.
Melissa
Good morning, Annette.
Caller/Listener
Sarah, you have been married for a.
Crash
Year and a half.
Caller/Listener
I have been married for 21 years. Trust me. You keeping your husband's ticket while he's down with his friends causing embarrassment and unnecessary heartache behind some projects that have not been completed. He's only been married to you a year and a half, remember? A year before this he didn't even have projects. Give the guy a chance. This situation will stink like a stunk under the coffee table in your living room for the rest of your marriage. You cannot imagine the kind of harm that you are causing your relationship because you are upset about projects. You cannot marry them. Look, those guys that finish projects all the time are the guys that are on the tool show, the handyman show. That's not real life. Everybody's husband doesn't complete a project every time they start it. Give the guy a chance. But this is going to stink in your marriage. If you have one after this forever.
Burt
Wow.
Sarah
I'm sorry. I've made my decision. I mean, this is. I'm just gonna give back to him exactly what he gives to me right now.
Melissa
Hey, Angela, you're on all the hits Q100. Try to talk some sense into Sarah here.
Sarah
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Matt is not your child. He is your husband.
Caller/Listener
He left the house. It's not like he took off the toilet to replace it. And that's the only toilet she had and didn't put it back on. She has a house.
Sarah
She is well taken care of.
Melissa
And you've said. You have said here, right, Sarah, that he's great in every other way Way, yes, every other way you love. This guy's perfect.
Sarah
You know what I think? I think like it's hard because people don't understand. It's not like I want to do this, but I really.
Crash
You're such a parent, Sarah.
Burt
I think constantly getting.
Sarah
I'm sorry, I'm too busy. I forgot. And I just. I really feel that I need to throw that back in his face at this point because I'm sick of it.
Crash
I hope you enjoyed the year and a half you were married.
Melissa
Can we call you on Monday and at least find out how everything went? You gotta be honest with us about that. Yeah, okay.
Jen
I know how I. What do you. Did you talk about Sarah all weekend at your super bowl parties?
Caller/Listener
Yeah, that's what I was just getting finished telling my mother in law about it.
Jen
And what do you think she did?
Caller/Listener
I think she's terrible. I mean, if you have kids or you have a man, that's what you do. When she has kids, she's gonna pick up after her kids. I mean, you know, that's just terrible.
Crash
I mean, if you have kids and you have a man, that's just what you do.
Burt
Just finish their project so they get started.
Jen
Right. Hey, Holly, do you think she sent him the T or do you think he went without?
Caller/Listener
I think she's sending the ticket. She's decent.
Jen
All right, cool. Thanks, Holly.
Crash
She's a decent woman. She sent that ticket.
Jen
Hey, Sarah.
Sarah
Hello.
Jen
Anything you'd like to share with us about this weekend?
Sarah
No. I mean, I stuck to my decision. I stuck to my decision. No, I went to work on Friday after I had been talking to you and everybody was talking about it, trying to talk me out of it, you know, just friends. And even people that I didn't know would kind of try to throw in their two cents. I got so many phone calls. Phone calls from people I don't even remember meeting or knowing. My mother from Tampa called me.
Crash
Oh, really?
Sarah
And I don't even know how she found out. I got a lot of phone calls, but I really. I stuck to my decision. And I think that, you know, it's my relationship, you know, I know better than anyone else else how to work it. I do. Even though everyone else thinks they know. So anyway, on Friday, you know, that's what happened. But I decided to stick to my decision.
Saturday, you know, I just, you know, I went shopping. I avoided calls. Friday night I went out. Actually, Friday night I went out with my girlfriends, and they all agreed with me. Every one of them agreed with what I was doing and supported what I was doing. Saturday, I shopped. I avoided phone calls. I just couldn't take the phone calls anymore.
Jen
Just out of curiosity, percentage wise, how many of the girlfriends you were out with are married?
Sarah
Two of them. I was out with five girls and they all.
Jen
It was unanimous. Like, none of them said to you, sarah, you might be going a little too far?
Sarah
One of the married girls tried to talk me out of it a first, but then. But then she saw my point.
Jen
Okay.
Crash
So Saturday you went shopping to avoid.
Sarah
Avoided phone calls as best as I could. Sunday, I literally turned my phone off.
Burt
Well, I know you're trying to avoid the phone calls from, you know, the people, your friends, whatever, trying to convince you to send the tickets, but did you avoid the phone calls from your husband as well?
Sarah
I knew he wouldn't call me.
Crash
I mean, I'm kind of curious because, like, as of Friday, my perception was that Matt wasn't aware of what was about to happen, the fact that he wasn't going to get a ticket. So I'm curious.
Jen
Did he call you and say, where's my ticket?
Crash
How did he find out? And what.
Burt
What the.
Sarah
You know.
I wouldn't even know because I. I did not want to talk to him.
Crash
Okay, so you haven't talked to Matt all weekend?
Sarah
No, but here's the kicker. See, now this is where I'm getting. This is. This is why I'm getting skeptical on Friday during the day at work, okay? I'm sitting at my desk and what arrives but two dozen pink and white roses since my work. Okay.
Jen
From Matt.
Sarah
From Matt, saying, I love you and I miss you.
Obviously, I think he was buttering me up. I think he found out. I think he was buttering me up. I think he was trying to get his ticket because he knew what I was gonna do. I had talked to him on Friday, so I didn't talk to him, you know, over the weekend, which I considered more Saturday and Sunday, but I had talked to him on Friday, about a half an hour after he had sent me the flowers, and he didn't say a word about. About the ticket, about. Where is it? Nothing.
Jen
So you don't know if he knew or didn't know?
Sarah
I don't know.
Jen
Hold on. People want to talk to you. Not surprised. Surprising. Hey, Chris. Yes, go ahead. She's on.
Caller/Listener
Hey, Sarah. I'm just, I'm just curious. Do you ever get outside and help him dig the holes for the trees that he plants? When he does the landscaping outside, do you ever rake the leaves for him? Do you ever get out there and help him bag up the. The grass clippings when it's 155 degrees outside?
You know, women kill me with the. The expectations of a man having outside duties at the house, but yet they. You also want us to come in some and fold the laundry and do the dishes and also wanted to know, when you have kids, do you expect. You expect your husband to raise your child in like two weeks? I mean, because this is an ongoing project.
Sarah
I do help him as best as I can. Obviously I don't get out on my hands and knees because that's what he does.
Jen
That's what he, you know, apparently he's not doing it. So maybe you should.
Crash
When do you think you'll talk to Matt, you know, again? Do you think you'll talk to him today or.
Sarah
Oh, I'm sure I will. I'm sure I'll talk to him today.
Crash
Because I'm curious as how to. Because obviously this was done for. You did this for a reason. And I'm wondering how you're going to approach that reason or how that initial conversation is going to take place. You know what I mean?
Sarah
Well, I mean, I'm sure he'll call me when I'm at work and I'm.
Caller/Listener
Not going to be able to talk.
Sarah
So, you know, we're going to have to wait until I get home.
Caller/Listener
Home.
Crash
Is he coming home today?
Melissa
Yeah.
Jen
When does he fly home?
Crash
Okay.
Jen
All right. I know you've heard this all before. Can we each read you an email that we got?
Caller/Listener
Sure.
Burt
I got one from a woman who titled her email Sarah Wife from Hell. And it says, my husband and I have been married for 11 years for a reason in all caps. And then also in other all caps, we don't pull stunts on each other like this. If Sarah thinks that her husband is going to run home and fix that stupid porch and tell her that now he sees the. And that he's gonna most definitely do the dishes from now on. She lives in La La Land. La La Land in all caps.
Crash
And there was a woman by the name of Ann who sent an email that said, I've never been so bent on contacting a radio station as I am today. Is that woman effin nuts. What a prima donna. Send the man his ticket and deal with your lame ass issues later. How Smug is she? She knows he loves her, but not for long. And guess what? Every year around January, the Super bowl issue will come up all over again. If they are still together.
Sarah
You know what? Again, everyone else thinks they know how to run my relationship, you know, and that's fine. Everyone can have their opinions. Obviously, I'm. I'm still talking to you, so I don't mind, you know, hearing it or talking about it. But I do convince Sarah for that.
Jen
I know it's. Hold on, Sarah. I'm just gonna. We're gonna read you one more email, then we'll let you go. Okay?
Caller/Listener
Okay.
Jen
Hey, Jeff and Burt. My name is Kyle Blank and the woman you had on my radio this morning was my sister, Sarah. I just wanted to let you know that nobody in her family agrees with what she is doing. As a matter of fact, nobody even knew this was happening until we all started calling each other about 8am on Friday to turn on Q100. I spoke to her right after she got to work and she was as stubborn with me as she was with all of your listeners who called in. And all of you guys. There was no getting through her thick skull about how she wasn't teaching a lesson to her husband as much as she was asking for a divorce. I don't know that I have ever been as frustrated as I was with her Friday. And I've been married 11 years and have four kids. Anyway, I thought you'd be interested in knowing that. Friday after lunch, I went to Sarah's house and using the key that she leaves me for when they go out of town, I let myself in. I found the ticket and took it to FedEx and overnighted it to the hotel in Houston where the six of them are staying. Long story short, because I know you were busy, he got the ticket and went to the game. I got a message from him on my cell at halftime. And he knows that I hate. Because he knows that I hate the pain. I don't know if he knows what happened on Friday, and I don't know if I'll tell him. I do plan on letting Sarah know Monday afternoon when the game is safely over. What I did.
Sarah
Sarah, this has got to be a joke. That's got to be a joke.
Caller/Listener
That's.
Sarah
It's impossible. That's impossible.
Jen
Do you have a brother?
Sarah
I'm looking at the ticket right now. That's impossible.
Jen
Do you have a brother named Kyle?
Melissa
Yes.
Jen
Has he been married 11 years and have four kids?
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Yes.
Jen
And you have the ticket in your hand?
Sarah
I have the ticket in my. I'm looking at it.
Jen
You're looking at the ticket or you're looking at the envelope the ticket came in?
Sarah
Hang on, I don't. I don't know. Hold on.
Burt
Wow.
I like. Kyle.
Are you there?
Jen
She's to going to get that envelope.
This is the longest minute of my.
Crash
Life and the longest walk back to the phone.
Jen
I don't want to say anything cuz I want to hear what she's going to say in the background.
Crash
Time has just stopped for Sarah.
Sarah
Hello?
Jen
Yes.
Sarah
You know what? No, this is not.
Jen
Is the ticket in the envelope?
Sarah
No, it's not. You know what? I really don't believe that my brother would do this.
Jen
Is the ticket in the envelope?
Sarah
No, but this has got to be. That could not have been my brother. This has got to be. I think this is some big scheme that you guys planned up or something because I've got.
Jen
Look at. The email is right here.
Crash
There's no way we could come into your house, Sarah. We couldn't do that.
Sarah
I'm so angry right now. This is what I'm talking about. I know how to run my marriage. I know what to do for the situation.
Burt
It's not a business. Honey, you don't run a marriage. I mean that's just like the wrong way to look at it. Your marriage is a partnership. You gotta support each other.
Sarah
Well, I know how to be in my marriage and everyone else. And to step into my life, to step into my personal space, my house, without my knowing it, that's. I'm like beside myself. I'm so angry.
Jen
Call your brother.
Sarah
Okay, I'm going to.
Jen
All right, Sarah, we're let you go.
Crash
Thanks for taking the calls though, Sarah, seriously.
Jen
And thanks for coming on with us.
Sarah
Okay, bye.
Caller/Listener
Yeah.
Jen
Is it just me or was that the longest? How long did it take her to get to that envelope and back?
Burt
Like 30 seconds or so.
Melissa
90 seconds.
Jen
I was sweating.
Crash
Oh my God. So happy ending.
Jen
Hey, Terry.
Burt
Hey.
Crash
Hey.
Caller/Listener
I hope Sarah's still listening.
Jen
Hey, Shara.
Caller/Listener
Hey, how you doing?
Jen
I'm all right. How are you?
Caller/Listener
I'm all right. I am so glad that the brother saved her marriage because where I'm from, my husband, my ex husband, I'm gonna let. Listen, Sarah, ex husband, he didn't cut gr. He didn't wash a dish. He wouldn't do a family outing. He didn't do. Nathan, when I tell you nothing. Nathan. She don't understand that she had a good man that work every day and do this, that now don't get me wrong. Now me and my ex husband are best friends. But guess what he does now that we're exes? He redid my whole bathroom floor. Paint the walls. Put the borders up, sis. So y' all don't feel me.
He repainted my bathroom. He put the borders up. Please understand me when I tell you.
Jen
But you know what you did by making him your ex husband? Sher, you know what you did is you put the. You put the carrot back in front of the horse. Now he's got something to go after.

And she was so selfish that she was going to keep that ticket. She just don't know. I heard about in a beauty shop over here off of Camel, over off of Cascade Road. I said, she did what I said. See, they need to invite her to the studio and bring another sister or any woman that's been married or get married or had or is married and let her know how in the world did she think that she was gonna be right if everybody else was telling her how wrong she was? But big ups to her brother.
Her brother, her brother's wife. She got a good man. She better hold on to him.
Jen

Sister. Get out there and put a peel that you peel off the back of the towel. You slap it down. Sister. It'll be all right if you help out around the house.

Listener Tip:
[16:06 – 28:42]
If you could have lost your virginity to anyone you’ve since met, who would it be?
Jen: “Jessica Simpson.” [17:14]
Running Mate for President?
Burt, evaluating his castmates’ skeletons and personalities, humorously weighs his options before choosing Jen Hobby:
“I’d go with Jen Hobby as my Vice President. As soon as they dig up my past, you’re screwed!” [19:10]
If you had to sleep with another cast member’s significant other, who?
Crash jokes: “Ryan. I’ve always wanted to do a rock star,” but Jeff quickly chimes in with, “Stacy. She’s just ultra cute and sexy.” [20:13–20:28]
Relationship Reflection:
Questioned about past breakups, Crash admits the end of his relationship was “my fault,” citing how a near-death illness changed his life’s perspective and needs.
“I would put the blame on me, because I’m the one that initiated the change in momentum in our relationship.” [23:27]
Private Behavior Confession:
When asked what private act she’d never do in front of the group, Jen admits:
“I can sit in the mirror for hours and analyze and reanalyze my eyebrows and every little hair on my face… I have, like, man hairs that come up on my face. So I’m always checking.” [26:51]
The cast riffs on “face pubes” and “nipple snakes,” ending the segment on a hilarious, self-deprecating note.
[31:08 – 49:10]
Listener Sarah’s coworker calls in about Sarah’s controversial plan to withhold her husband’s Super Bowl ticket in protest of his chronic failure to complete household projects.
Sarah details a year and a half of marriage where her husband starts house projects (fixing a tile, cleaning, dishes) but never finishes them.
She sees withholding the ticket as a means to “teach him a lesson.”
The cast is incredulous—Melissa warns, “You are gonna lose a great guy.” [34:30]
Callers offer strong opinions:
Sarah remains unmoved, supported only by her single/married girlfriends and argues, “It’s my relationship… I know better than anyone else how to work it.” [38:42]
The cast reads an email from Sarah’s brother Kyle, revealing he found her hidden ticket, FedExed it to her husband, and her husband got to attend the game after all.
Sarah’s shock, denial, and fury at the (well-intentioned) family intervention is palpable:
Instant Nostalgia and Group Chemistry:
“This is like a surreal moment on the Bert Show. This is weird. This is worse than the football kissing game.” — Burt [07:03]
On Growing from Trauma:
“After surgery…I was the only one who had that perspective of facing death and then coming out. At least it didn’t have that.” — Crash [23:29]
On Relationship Overreach:
“It’s not a business. Honey, you don’t run a marriage, that’s just like the wrong way to look at it. Your marriage is a partnership.” — Burt to Sarah [46:40]
