Host/Interviewer
Hey, the bird show. Right now we are gonna focus on our intern, Brandon. Now, have you turned 21 yet or
Brandon (Intern)
you are turning 20? I turned 21 last June.
Host/Interviewer
You did? And you're a guy that doesn't drink much?
Brandon (Intern)
No. One night I had way too many Jager bombs not drinking that much ever.
Host/Interviewer
And it just took one night for
Brandon (Intern)
you to realize it took one night?
Wingman/Coach
Yeah, that's it.
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah.
Host/Interviewer
I wish I'd learned that lesson when I was 21, dude. And Brandon told us that off the air that, you know, he just doesn't have a whole bunch of experience when it comes to women.
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah, yeah. You know, I played baseball for most of my life, so that's been my love you know, that's what I focus on all growing up. So while most of my friends were out chasing women, I was playing baseball.
Female Commentator
Have you ever had serious girlfriends or dated a lot?
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah, I had one serious girlfriend senior year of high school. But before that it was just like normal school relationships, you know, nothing serious.
Wingman/Coach
Where you hold hands and you're quote unquote going out.
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah, like the check box. Do you like me? Yes. No.
SpinQuest Promoter (Female)
Maybe.
Brandon (Intern)
You never put the maybe on there because that looks great. Or you have your friend go up and ask her and be like, hey, do you like him? That kind of stuff. In eighth grade, ninth grade.
Host/Interviewer
That's cool when you're 12, but not so much when you're 21.
Brandon (Intern)
Well, when you're a junior in high school too, Right? I'm just saying.
Host/Interviewer
So now from high school to now, how many women have you dated?
Jen (Female Commentator)
One.
Host/Interviewer
One? Yeah. Long term relationship years.
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah. And I didn't ask her to move in and fear that she was going to live with some guy. Yeah, you know.
Host/Interviewer
So have you gone on many dates but just not relationships or is it pretty much just that one girl and that's it?
Brandon (Intern)
Well, yeah, pretty much that one girl and that was it. You know, like all my friends come to me for advice because I'm more of the type to sit back and watch our other people react and then be able to help with that. But rather than implementing it myself, I can't do that. So.
Host/Interviewer
So what happens normally? Let's say we are at Havana Club now, right? And you're in the lounge by yourself or with a couple of dudes and there's a hottie across the bar.
Caller/Listener
Okay.
Host/Interviewer
And she sort of gives you that.
Brandon (Intern)
The look.
Host/Interviewer
Just the look, you know, it's just.
Wingman/Coach
She flips her hair a little bit.
Host/Interviewer
It's the look. What do you do?
Brandon (Intern)
I check my shirt to make sure I don't have a stain on it because that's probably why she's looking at me. What is he wearing? You know, I'm checking him like. So lie on the wall. No.
Host/Interviewer
Are you confident? Do you want my friend? Is it my friend you're looking at?
Brandon (Intern)
No, I'm not. I don't me.
Spanish Commercial Announcer
Him.
Female Commentator
Him?
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah, it's like him pointing back and forth. I don't know.
Host/Interviewer
You must have some kind of experience like approaching a woman in a bar though.
Brandon (Intern)
No, none.
Wingman/Coach
Never? You've never just walked up to a girl and tried to start a conversation?
Brandon (Intern)
No, I never pulled the hey, how you doing? You know any of that? No.
Wingman/Coach
Okay, step by Step help on how to do that.
Brandon (Intern)
Basically, I need, like, the Pocket Manual.
Host/Interviewer
Okay, well, I'm glad you said that because I think we have him here today.
Wingman/Coach
Yeah, that's his name actually on Twitter.
Brandon (Intern)
Pocketmanual Dating.
Wingman/Coach
Pocket Manual.
Host/Interviewer
This is one of my best friends, Dolvett, here, and we are in very different parts of our life right now. But if I was a single guy, this is the dude right here that I want as my wingman every night that I go out.
Wingman/Coach
He's your Mr. Miyagi.
Host/Interviewer
He should be right here, man. So really our hope today, Dolvett, was that Brandon here in a weekend coming up, could just sort of hang with us when we go out one weekend. Mostly. You, us, us. Well, we'll all go out and get our drink on and stuff. But, I mean, you are. You're gonna be his Mr. Miyagi.
Caller/Listener
Okay.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Daniel's son, Danielson wax on.
Host/Interviewer
Wax on. But I was trying to think, like yesterday we started talking about this and let me pose this to the women in the room again. And I'm not exactly sure how to phrase it. Like, I've seen you in clubs and I've seen you in bars when Dolvette walks into a place. This is one of the things about Dolvett that I really admire. Like, all eyes on Dolvett. He just has an attitude and a charisma and he's a good looking guy.
Jen (Female Commentator)
So I paid him so much money
Brandon (Intern)
to say that, I swear to God,
Host/Interviewer
it's all eyes on Dolve.
SpinQuest Promoter
All right.
Host/Interviewer
We joke that if we go out in Atlanta, I'm Vince from Entourage, but if we go out anywhere else, all eyes are on Dolvett and I don't get any attention at all all night long.
Wingman/Coach
Well, he's a confident guy.
Host/Interviewer
Well, this is what I want to ask. Like, does the confidence, does the game and the confidence come because he's a good looking guy, or would he. Would he have that if he was an average looking dude?
Wingman/Coach
I think it comes from inside. I think confidence, regardless of what's on the outside. I mean, Dolvett is a really good looking guy and he takes good care of himself. But. But I think it's from the inside out is where confidence comes from.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
I think good looking people have an edge. I do agree with Jen. I do think average looking people probably have to build that a little more than good looking people. I think naturally good looking people, they get a point, have an edge. They have an edge because they get attention even without doing Anything. I've seen this. I've seen this.
Host/Interviewer
Like really good looking dudes have zero games, stumbling all over themselves, acting stupid and still end up with the girl at the end of the night. Cause they're hot.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
But then they may not keep her, you know, or you know, like it can only take them so far. But I do think, you know, good
Jen (Female Commentator)
looking people, people are insecure. I mean, first and foremost, make no mistake about it, because they, they're looking at themselves all the time, so to speak, like trying to find that perfect.
Host/Interviewer
Are you talking from experience here?
Jen (Female Commentator)
Yeah, yeah,
Wingman/Coach
but Brandon's a good looking guy.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Problems getting women. He'll attract a lot of women. I think once that confidence bar raises in terms of who he is, like Jen said, inside, what he has to offer, he'll be fine.
Host/Interviewer
And you got, I mean, you're not a bad looking dude.
Brandon (Intern)
Thank you. Quality of yourself.
Wingman/Coach
You're a cute guy.
Host/Interviewer
I don't think you're a hot piece of ass.
Caller/Listener
I think what it is is he
Wingman/Coach
doesn't have the experience.
Brandon (Intern)
You hear that, Alana?
Wingman/Coach
He doesn't have the experience of going up to a girl. So he doesn't know how it's gonna go, how it's supposed to go. So it's like the nervousness of approaching any new thing that any of us. I've never done fill in the blank before. You're nervous about it before. You've never, you know, before you've ever done it. Then once you get some practice at it, you're like, oh, I can do this.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Let's practice real quick. Brandon, practice on Jen real quick.
Narrator/Advertiser
What would you say?
Wingman/Coach
His boss. That's weird. Practice on Wendy before you practice.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
I do want to also commend you. I do think it takes a little confidence to come forward and be honest. Like, I think there's so many guys that would have never come on and said, you know what? I've been with one girl, you know, seriously, I haven't really dated outside of that. And I just want to, I want help. So many guys would have never said that. So I do think that you have that seat of confidence that we can build on.
Brandon (Intern)
Thank you.
Host/Interviewer
I wouldn't use it.
Brandon (Intern)
Hey, guess what?
Narrator/Advertiser
Guess what?
Host/Interviewer
You're the first girl I've ever approached in a bar.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Isn't this great?
Yvette (Female Commentator)
You will be the second girl I ever French kissed. It's gonna be so exciting. I'm just kidding.
Host/Interviewer
So what would you say? Okay, here's Wendy.
Brandon (Intern)
I've kissed at least three truth or dare in the Back of the bus counts in this situation. Spin the bottle yet? Seven minutes in heaven. At least I thought it was a girl. I don't know.
Host/Interviewer
So you're in a bar. There's Wendy. What's your. I mean, theoretically. What's your opening line?
Brandon (Intern)
I mean, I don't know. That's the problem. I don't know. Like, for me, like, I go, how you doing? That's. And I said. But mostly it's just the fact that you say, how you doing? I'm from New York. That's how I like. Then the attention turns to the fact that you say, how you doing? Weird.
Female Commentator
But that's good, though. I mean, that sparks conversation right away, even if you say it different.
Host/Interviewer
Icebreaker.
Wingman/Coach
Yeah.
Female Commentator
It doesn't matter how you say it. It just sparks some sort of interest in who you are. And she's gonna get to know you that way.
Host/Interviewer
What's he gotta do?
Jen (Female Commentator)
Dhalvette, first thing you say, just introduce yourself. Say, hi, I'm Brandon. Just say your name that way. It automatically. That's the first thing you say, you know? I mean, you're not. You're not, hi, how you doing? And then waiting for her to say something, she might say, I'm fine, and walk away. You say, brandon. Now, you identified yourself. You're hoping that she's gonna respond by saying her name. Now Brandon meets Wendy. And now Wendy and Brandon have a relation or a conversation about the spark. You know what I mean?
Wingman/Coach
It's so simple, but it's so true.
Host/Interviewer
And you don't have a name that you have to hide from. Like, I used to, like, make up another name because I didn't want to say, hi, I'm Burt. I used to have to say, like, hi, I'm Ian.
Spanish Commercial Announcer
Are you serious?
Wingman/Coach
That was a cool name.
Host/Interviewer
That was hilarious.
Brandon (Intern)
Because no one wants to hang out with a Bert.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
I want to ask Yvette a question about Brandon, too, because now Brandon, you know, I have been at events with him that I've hosted in social, events in which he's not trying to approach women. And he comes across as confident. Very entertaining. He gains attention without really having to do anything. Like, he naturally is a great.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Charismatic.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
Very charismatic and has a great personality. Do you think he overthinks when it comes to, oh, I gotta approach a girl now? Do you think he freezes himself out? What advice would you give him on taking that I'm not trying confidence into the I'm trying confidence?
Jen (Female Commentator)
You just said it. The key is, don't try. Don't try so hard when it comes to. I have to, you know, just be yourself. You have all the tools, obviously. You know what I mean? Just. Just be yourself.
Brandon (Intern)
Well, for me, at events, it's just like a switch goes on. Because my philosophy going in events, like, half these people I'll never see again. Most of these people I'll never see again, so what do I care what they think about me?
Host/Interviewer
Same thing in a bar.
Female Commentator
Same thing in a bar.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Just be yourself. I mean, don't, you know, confidence shouldn't be cocky. Confidence should be you just being relaxed. And, you know, you never lose because you have nothing to lose.
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah.
Jen (Female Commentator)
You know what I mean?
Brandon (Intern)
Yeah.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Just be yourself and you always win.
Host/Interviewer
Here's Ricky. Hey, Ricky. Good morning. You have some. Some advice for our intern, Brandon here?
Ricky (Male Commentator)
I do indeed. And Brandon, I think you've gotten great advice, but I've been listening to you. You have everything I was going to suggest. And Dolvett, I'm sorry to disagree with you. I think cocky and arrogance are two different things. Cocky to me, is a little bit of self. You make fun of yourself a little bit and you have a good time because you're confident. So I say cocky, sensitive, and funny. You get those three things in the first 15 minutes, she's yours.
Host/Interviewer
You got them all, dude. You got them all. You are funny.
Brandon (Intern)
Thank you.
Jen (Female Commentator)
You're good.
Host/Interviewer
You got them all. You're gonna be fine.
Wingman/Coach
You just gotta practice it.
Brandon (Intern)
That's the. How do you go and practice? Like, I can't look at myself in the mirror and work on a line.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Cause you gotta develop that muscle, so to speak.
SpinQuest Promoter (Female)
You can't help. Get out there.
Wingman/Coach
Trial and error.
Host/Interviewer
Like a trainer.
Wingman/Coach
Yes.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Who's a trainer in this room?
Yvette (Female Commentator)
Who said that?
Host/Interviewer
Here's the thing that will happen when you go out with Delve, and I'm serious about this, is that you're forced in a conversation with women. Because, honestly, I'm speaking for him, so he doesn't sound arrogant. So many women come up to him that if you don't engage with them when they come up, you look like an idiot. So. Which will be great for you because you'll be forced into conversation from his leftovers, which is fine. You want to practice on the leftovers, man, the runoff. That's where you want to be.
Brandon (Intern)
That sounds.
Narrator/Advertiser
Yeah.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
You're like the gutter to his roof.
Safeway/Albertsons Announcer
Yeah.
Brandon (Intern)
It's a vital part to the building.
Wingman/Coach
But I just put myself in the wives shoes, like your wife and all of your buddy's wives going Wait, what? Who are you talking to when I'm just.
Host/Interviewer
I'm just forced into talking to the leftovers, honey.
Ricky (Male Commentator)
That's it.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Wow.
Brandon (Intern)
Wow is right.
Jen (Female Commentator)
That's all I got.
Wingman/Coach
What do you say to that?
Caller/Listener
Wow.
Host/Interviewer
Hey, Edward, what's going on? You're on Q100.
Caller/Listener
Oh, what's going on, man? I'm just listening. First of all, I love you guys, man. You guys are triple. Thank you. But it is. It is rough out there. If you're not good. Look, if you're not so called good looking, especially in this society, man, you. You have to work twice or three times as hard, man, just. Just to get anything from the job to the female. And then. Why am I stuttering? This is my first time on the radio
Jen (Female Commentator)
at home.
Caller/Listener
Just to touch on. Oh, my goodness. I'm still stuttering.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
Just start singing. Nobody stutters what I'm saying.
Caller/Listener
Look, you just have to work too hard, man. It sucks. It honestly sucks. And it's just. You can't just approach a female these days neither. That's something y' all were talking about a while ago. I just believe it just isn't no more old school.
Ricky (Male Commentator)
It isn't.
Caller/Listener
Hey, how you doing? My name is Such and Such. You know, they either holding out their hand or they judging you off the rip.
Ricky (Male Commentator)
Say that.
Host/Interviewer
The one thing he is saying here, which I think is true, is when a guy like Dolvett approaches you and you're already physically attracted to the guy, it is way easier for Dolvett than if it's going to be for somebody that's not Dolvett. Someone like, if I was single, it's gonna be different.
Jen (Female Commentator)
I disagree. I disagree from the perspective of. Cause you don't know what Jen said.
Host/Interviewer
You don't know what it's like to be ugly.
Jen (Female Commentator)
Don't judge me if you have confidence. Honestly, no matter how you look or I don't think it's about looks' cause I've. I know guys that aren't the most handsome guys or women that aren't the most beautiful to look at aesthetically. But that confidence goes so far. You make me believe what you believe in based on what comes out of your spirit.
Wingman/Coach
Yeah, I agree with that. Absolutely.
Female Commentator
And all women are approachable. For him to say, you can't approach a woman, any guy who approaches you in general is confident guy, because that takes a lot of guts just to start a conversation. So, yeah, no matter what.
Jen (Female Commentator)
That's Brandon. I already gave him a nickname already.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
And if you go to a woman and say, hey, my name is Brandon. No woman's going to be offended by that. Especially in a bar. No woman's going to be offended. I'm being approached because that's one of the reasons she's there. Right?
Jen (Female Commentator)
You know, as opposed to hi, how are you doing? You don't want to do that. I don't introduce yourself. You're that confident that you want to give that attractive woman your name?
Host/Interviewer
Hey, Anna, good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller/Listener
Good morning. I love you guys. I just want to ask Dovette can he make an itune and I can just download his voice to my
Host/Interviewer
see how the rich get richer man.
Yvette (Female Commentator)
I want you to know too, what I love, I love doing because when he gets on the radio, then all of a sudden his voice gets, you know, and part of that game.
Brandon (Intern)
He also channel my dairy white.
Jen (Female Commentator)
This is my Denzel right here.
Host/Interviewer
So sometime over the next couple of weeks, our assignment is to take Brandon out and he's just. I mean, he's going to be your wingman for a night. Okay?
Brandon (Intern)
No jer bombs. That's just my no y practice makes perfect.
Host/Interviewer
Using a baseball analogy, now you are like going to the batting kit. You are playing in a game with Chipper Jones.
Brandon (Intern)
Okay? Yeah. He's like BP with the Braves.
Wingman/Coach
You need real confidence, not liquid confidence. Because these two, they're gonna pretend to drink and they're gonna have club sodas in their hand all night.
Host/Interviewer
Okay?
Jen (Female Commentator)
Don't tell them the tricks. Don't tell them the trick.
Host/Interviewer
The first show.

Main Guests: Bert (Host), Intern Brandon, Jen, Yvette, “Wingman/Coach” Dolvett, Callers
This episode of The Bert Show centers around intern Brandon, a young man who admits to having little experience with dating and approaching women. The cast and guest “wingman/coach” Dolvett band together to offer Brandon advice, encouragement, and practical steps to improve his confidence and skills in social interactions with women. The conversation is light-hearted, supportive, and full of humor, with input from both the cast and audience members.
Introduce Yourself:
Jen: "First thing you say, just introduce yourself. Say, hi, I’m Brandon. Just say your name. That way it automatically... you’ve identified yourself." (09:05)
Confidence Comes from Within:
Dolvett: "I think it comes from inside. I think confidence, regardless of what’s on the outside... it’s from the inside out is where confidence comes from." (05:58)
Be Yourself:
Yvette: "Don’t try so hard when it comes to—I have to—you know, just be yourself. You have all the tools, obviously." (10:22)
Mock Approaches:
Brandon, prodded by the group, awkwardly practices on Jen and Wendy, met with laughter. They encourage him not to overthink it and keep things simple. (08:01–08:45)
Bert’s Admission:
Bert confesses he used to make up fake names at bars because he was self-conscious about "Bert." (09:31)
Memorable Quotes:
“I check my shirt to make sure I don’t have a stain on it, because that’s probably why she’s looking at me.”
— Brandon (03:36)
“All eyes on Dolvett. He just has an attitude and a charisma and he’s a good-looking guy.”
— Bert (05:10)
“Don’t try so hard... just be yourself.”
— Jen (10:22)
"You just gotta practice it."
— Wingman/Coach (11:30)
"He's like BP [batting practice] with the Braves."
— Brandon (15:42; comparing his upcoming "training" with Dolvett to sports practice)
The show wraps with plans to help Brandon get real-life social "reps" by going out with more experienced friends, learning through practice—not overthinking, but simply building his confidence muscle. The cast is supportive, the mood playful, and the advice both practical and encouraging: be authentic, introduce yourself with confidence, and remember—everyone is working on something.
The Bert Show cast reminds listeners that being real, vulnerable, and willing to learn is a strength—and that even the most daunting social skills can be developed with the right support and a bit of practice.
