The segment explores issues of communication, respect in dating, and the fallout from a less-than-courteous confrontation.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lindsey’s Story (00:01–00:43)

• Lindsey recounts a successful date with KB at Music Midtown, where they mingled with friends from school and spent the day together.
• After the event, KB stopped communicating ("two weeks now, he hasn't called you back?" – Bert).
• The show sets up the call to KB, promising Lindsey honesty, whether the relationship continues or not.

2. Group Commentary and Setup (00:44–01:27)

3. The Call to KB—The Confrontation (01:27–02:17)

• KB joins on air, responding mainly with the repetitive phrase, “The Bert Show,” making communication awkward and stilted.
