day begins at the Chase Sapphire lounge by the club at Boston Logan Airport. You get the clam chowder. In San Diego, it's Tostadas New York Espresso Martini. It's 10:00am why not? It's the quiet before your next flight, the shower that resets your day, the menu that lets you know where you are. This is access to over 1300 airport lounges and every Sapphire lounge by the club. And one card that gets you in Chase Sapphire Reserve now even more rewarding.

[Burt Birch]

Learn [e-mail] Sapphire Reserve cards issued by JP Morgan, Chase bank, and a member FDIC subject to credit approval. This is the Birch Show, Burt's Big Adventure 2026. Just to break away from Burt's Big Adventure for just one second. So on Sundays, we let the families hang by themselves, all right? We have been escorting them and hanging with them for days and days and days. We kind of feel like, you know what? They probably are sick of us.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Yeah.

[Jason (Brooke and Eliza's Dad)]

So.

[Burt Birch]

So let them go into the parks and they can go ahead and do whatever they want. And then the Burksburg Adventure staff gets together also. And then we usually go to Epcot and we start working our way around the world.

[Jason (Brooke and Eliza's Dad)]

Right?

[Burt Birch]

Have a drink here, have a drink there. So yesterday I thought, you know what? There's so much goodness and so much positivity going on on the Burt's Big Adventure trip. It's time for some darkness. Okay, so where is this going? And it backfired on me. So we all get together in the usa, had just beaten Canada in hockey in the Olympics. Our first gold medal since, like 1980 or something like that. So I'm like, you know what, let's go over to the country of Canada in EPCOT and give them a bit of a hard time about America beating them in hockey, right? It couldn't have backfired. It backfired in the most Canadian way possible. So we get in there, and the guy that's at the front, first of all, I've never been into Canada in the 24 years we've been doing around the world. You usually just bypass Canada. So I've never even gone into it.

[NBCUniversal Olympic Advertiser]

Right.

[Burt Birch]

We go into. There's like a waterfall back there, this beautiful, beautiful rose garden, Right? Yeah. Never even seen it. So as soon as we pull up, we start giving the first guy, the first Canadian, a hard time about the game. And in the most Canadian way possible, he's like, oh, that's okay. Congratulations to you guys. What a wonderful game you guys played. Congratulations to the United States of America. So that was no fun. And because we thought we. We had bragging rights for the first time in 40 something years. So then they have this big presentation of Canada and they are showing you all the beauty right in Canada. And you know who's narrating it? Catherine o'.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

Hara.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

And we just love National Treasure.

[Burt Birch]

National Treasure. We couldn't even give a hard time about that. Like, almost started crying in the middle of Canada, man. Now I know better. Darkness on Virtual Big Adventure. I learned my lesson. All right, so we got to introduce you guys to Brooke and her mom, Ashley and Jason and Eliza. Also, Eliza said that she was. She wants to be the only one talking on this segment. She has been like, I do not want to talk on the radio. How are you guys doing?

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

We're great.

[Burt Birch]

Good.

[Jason (Brooke and Eliza's Dad)]

Awesome.

[Burt Birch]

Brooke told me in the beginning of this trip, maybe you want to tell them what you told me, because sometimes I feel like it's unfair. Like I. Sometimes I get love that I want everybody else to feel.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

What do you mean?

[Burt Birch]

When you were going through a really tough time, you were listening.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

Listening to the Burke show. Oh, yes. Every time. Like when we were going through treatments and having all this dark times when we would listen to the Burt show and listen to Yalls days and about your pregnancy and all the happiness that brightened our days for those treatments, it was something that me and my husband, on the way to the. To the hospital, we could get our mind off of it just for a little bit. So thank you so much. It's a huge compliment.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Huge compliment.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

It really did help us also.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

So, yeah, the bird show is one thing, but Bird's Big Adventure. Did that help get your mind off of everything to.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

Well, I'm not. It did, but when it would come on, it would hit so close to home, I would have to, like, change the no fence.

[Burt Birch]

Yeah.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

But what you guys do is amazing. It's absolutely amazing. I couldn't ask for a better group. Thank you, family.

[Chase Sapphire Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Burt Birch]

And that's all because of the staff, and I just want them to really, really feel that not only the bird show, but the Birch Big Adventure staff also. A lot of times, I think a lot of people come up to me and thank me, and the truth of the matter is, my name's on the T shirt, but everybody else does the work.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Well, Asher's mom, Brianna, was telling me. She's like, everybody just fits so perfectly. Like, every single Burt's Big Adventure staff member and volunteer.

[Lala (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

It's.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

It's like, you guys couldn't have handpicked people better. And I'm like, yeah, they were handpicked. Like, this whole entire group has been curated to make sure that we put our server hearts forward. We are here for the families. We're here for the kids. And that.

[Rocket Money Advertiser]

That was.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

That's, like, the best compliment we could ever get because we. This group is very tight, and we just want to make sure that we. We fold you right in.

[Burt Birch]

So, Brooke and Eliza, we were all staring at you guys on the flight because it's always something special to watch a First Big Adventure kid when they're on their very first flight. So, Brooke, what'd you think of that. That flight, that Endeavor flight? Excited? Excited. Are you scared at all? Not at all.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

She wasn't. She was sitting. Brooke was sitting right in front of me on our Endeavor Air flight. And I. Like, my. My eyes were just on her, and I peeked over, and I looked at her smile, and she's taking it, like. And then we got above the clouds, and she's looking at the clouds, and I tell you, I was watching her, but then I moved over to dad, and your smile was twice as big as Brooks. Just watching her enjoy her first flight. It was so sweet.

[Jason (Brooke and Eliza's Dad)]

Yeah, she had a great time.

[Burt Birch]

I saw his sunglasses.

[Rocket Money Advertiser]

Yeah, you did.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

It was too bright up there. Yeah, it was okay. Yeah.

[Burt Birch]

Eliza, how about you on that first flight? I liked it. She was asleep.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

That's some sisterly love right there.

[Burt Birch]

So, Jason, what was your impressions of the weekend? You look like you were having a blast.

[Jason (Brooke and Eliza's Dad)]

We had a great time. I mean, every day was jam packed. And I mean, we had so much more fun than I anticipated. And the staff, everybody that came with us was just like you said, they fit like a glove with everybody. I mean, it was just like it was meant to be.

[Burt Birch]

There was a word that I heard over and over and over again about a bunch of the burst Big Adventure kids. But I heard it more than once about Brooke also. And that word was brave and courage. And Lala was hanging out with you guys and she saw some of that also.

[Lala (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Totally. And I think we started off in Star wars and Brooke mustered up some massive courage to get on those Star wars rides with some encouragement from her lovely family. This family is a family that encourages one another. It starts with Jason. He is Prince Charming and the knight and shining armor all wrapped up in one. He takes care of his girls. And Brooke's big sister, Eliza is the big sister of all big sisters. She encourages her sister and supports her. And we got the slinky dog and Brooke could see what was ahead of her. And it's a little scary. That's a roller coaster. And Brooke and Eliza grabbed hands and they got on that roller coaster. And man, when she came off, she was 10ft off the ground. But the problem is, after being 10ft off the ground, what's next? Tower of Terror?

[Burt Birch]

Did you.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

She jumped from one to that.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Brookie, you did Tower of Terror.

[Burt Birch]

What?

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

What was it like?

[Burt Birch]

Terrible.

[Rocket Money Advertiser]

Terrible.

[Burt Birch]

Totally agree. I could have told you that.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

But you did it. And you can tell everybody you did it.

[Burt Birch]

Yeah, that's what my dad said. Yeah, and then you can say that you're never doing it again. See, when I was like when I was saying aswe, I don't want to go on this. See this how God said there's no way back. Eliza said that every year there's a kid on the trip that I take pride when I see smiles on their face. And Eliza was that this year. She's tough to break, but when you break her, she's got a great smile.

[NBCUniversal Olympic Advertiser]

There it is.

[Burt Birch]

You can't hide it. You can run and you can hide, but I can see it. All right, which one of you guys want to read your letter to your Burks Big Adventure kid.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

So is it okay if we tattoo you?

[Burt Birch]

Do whatever you want.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

Okay. I'll start off and then I'm not

[Burt Birch]

on the radio anymore. I got nothing to lose. Do whatever you want.

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

Okay.

[Burt Birch]

You want to stay on till 12?

[Ashley (Brooke and Eliza's Mom)]

It's long. I'm warning you. All right, I'll start. Dear Brooke, from the moment you came into our lives, you filled our world with a light that only you could bring. On April 23, 2018, when you were just two years old, our hearts stopped in a way we didn't know was possible. That was the day we heard the words no parents were ever prepared for. Your daughter has leukemia. In that instant, our world changed, and we began a journey filled with fear, faith and tears. Strength and more love than we could never more than we knew our hearts could hold. Our sweet little soul at just two years old had to overcome so much more than any child should at that age. At times where we were lost and didn't know what to do, we just prayed and prayed that you would be able to live a normal life after all the treatments. The hardest part for us as. As a parent is not knowing or being able to control the outcome. Thankfully, some of the hardest parts of your you were too young to remember. These memories will forever be etched in our souls. From hearing you crying and screaming so loud every time you felt the car into the parking garage at Choa. To us having to lay you down on a hospital bed while you were given the propanol countless times. And you squeezing our fingers so tight with your little hands, Having to watch you drift off to sleep for each spinal tap procedure. We cried our eyes out every time we had to leave you in the room so the doctors could start. Your favorite part was getting to pick your toy from the treasure box. Afterwards, you were just so small and innocent. There were nights we slept just listening to you breathe, praying, hoping, wishing we could take your place. But even in the middle of all that pain, you showed us something incredible. Courage. Real courage. That kind of doesn't come from being big or strong, but from having a brave heart. And yours, Brooke, has always been the bravest heart we know.

[Jason (Brooke and Eliza's Dad)]

On July 21, 2021, when you rang that bell, time stood still for us. That sound was more than. More than a bell. It was a triumph. A relief and gratitude and victory. Victory all wrapped into one beautiful moment. It was the sound of prayers answered, battles fought. And a little girl proving she is stronger than anything life could throw at her. That day, whatever. That day will forever be one of the proudest days of our lives. Your grandparents had a miniature bell made with the date of your final treatment on it that hangs in our living room forever. To remember that glorious day. You may not remember every detail of what you went through, but we will never forget. Not because of the Fear of the pain, but because of the strength you showed. You taught us what resilience looks like. You taught us what faith looks like. You taught us that even the smallest person can be the strongest in the room. Now, watching you grow, laugh, play, give your, live your life in remission, it's a gift we never take for granted. Every smile of yours, it's a reminder of how far you've come. Every laugh is proof of your victory. You are our miracle, our inspiration, our greatest blessing. You are not the only brave little girl in the family. Your sister Eliza has watched you endure all of this. And through that process, the two of you have been become so close. She loves you unconditionally. Eliza has the sweetest soul, the sweetest soul you've ever met. Brooke, we want to always. We want you to always remember this. You are stronger than you know, braver than you think, and more love than words could ever fully explained. No matter where life takes you, your story will always be one of courage, hope, and victory. We are endlessly proud to be your parents. And we thank God every single day for you. We love you more than all the stars in the sky and more than all the grains of sand on every beach. Love always, mom and dad.

[Burt Birch]

Man, that's beautiful. That was really, really beautiful. And I love this line, too, when you're talking about Birch brick adventure kids. And this is one I'm going to use quite a bit over the years. The smallest person can be the strongest in the room. That's awesome. Thanks for being part of our Burt's big adventure family, you guys. Very touched by your family, very touched by everybody's family. This has really been a special one. I, as I said earlier today, I was really nervous about this trip having so many boys on it, and I just thought it was just going to be a fight fest, and I could not have been more wrong. And the attitude of you guys and the love that all of you guys have had and all the bravery and the courage Brooke like you show every single day is so inspiring to all the adults around you.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Also, we have a lot of big, loving, kind hearts in this room. And I mean, yeah, it was just. That was so beautifully apparent on this trip.

[Burt Birch]

I just want to express a lot of gratitude again for everybody on this staff that works day in and day out to make sure that this trip is perfect each and every year. To Q997 for allowing us to do it. This is so unheard of. Like, when somebody leaves a radio station, you're basically. You're Dead to me. But Q997 has said, look, we're going to support Burke's big adventure for as long as you want to. So thank you for that.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

And to all the listeners who donated

[Burt Birch]

and to all you guys that donated, without you guys, we have none of this zero. So thank you to you guys. Also, for me, this trip again was all about focus and living in the now. I promised myself at the outset of this trip that I was going to put my phone down and I was going to let the photographers do the job that we don't pay them to do. And I was just going to go ahead and share their photos. And I put my phone down and really just watched this year and I observed. And what I saw was just a bunch of families coming together and supporting each other and sharing with each other in intimate ways that I don't know that I've ever seen on this trip before.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

It was next level.

[Burt Birch]

Maybe it's happened, but I've been on my phone sometimes taking pictures of other people, so I didn't see it. So to absorb it this year was really, really a beautiful thing. And you guys listening have allowed us to do this for 24 years.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

Yeah, there was. It was the bonding and the connection, the kinship, the friendship that all of these families formed that was just so beautiful to see. So for anybody listening, if there is somebody in your life that you haven't reached out to recently, or if there's a friend that you have on your mind just watching all of these bonds, I think it's really important that you reach out to that person today and tell them you love them.

[Burt Birch]

The smallest person could be the strongest in the room. That's awesome. That's really awesome. Okay, how you want to end this

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

thing this year, we're going to end it with an olay. All right. Yeah. So for the families are very well aware of this. We are a loud, loud group. And everywhere we go, every morning in our hotel lodge lobby, we kick it off with an olay.

[Burt Birch]

So we're in a manager this year tell us to keep it down. I swear to you. So I think he, it was, he was feeling really good for the payback because somebody was drilling at 5:15 in the morning. So I went to the manager as soon as I got up and I'm like, we got a bunch of sick kids on this floor. Can you make sure the drilling's not happening at 5:15 in the morning? And he looks through his log and he's like, are you sure that happened? No, it's not on my maintenance log. And I'm like, I got four families and a staff member that have seen it, right? So he's like, I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. And then after we do this olay that you're about to hear, the manager runs up to me and he goes, hey, Bert, can you guys keep it down? Well, we're not sure did.

[Zach (Burt's Big Adventure Staff)]

We're not gonna keep it down. All right. So the loudest mouth of the group, Mr. Zach.

[Burt Birch]

Yeah. Let's go, man. You're our leader. Spurt's big adventure 2026. This is the Birch Show.
