Host 2
Because you can really get away with anything you want as a woman on two different occasions. When you turn 21 and when you fast forward to when you get married. Also, like, people are just throwing things at free things. They sit your first class. You get anything you want the day you get married. But then reality, then it's reality. That's not the real world. There's no other time in a woman's life after that. So before we even get into the voicemails, how do you think this is best? Do you think you just tell us about the night or should you tell us about the night throughout the entire as. As I play the cuts.
Reshma
Um, what was. Okay, the first call was at Twisted Taco. I mean, I think after the cuts, but up to this point. Okay, at this point, I guess the second voicemail, I went to dinner with my family. I had a pomegranate martini at dinner. Strongest martini. I've like, I don't. I'm not a martini drinker. Long drink.
Host 2
Did you order for the whole table too? Because you're.
Reshma
No, it was just my pants. And so then my friend took me to a liquor store and we bought a couple mini bottles and it was her half birthday. We have this big joke. So we took them in the car before we went in to Twisted Taco to meet up with everyone else. And we went to dinner and all of my friends were eating, but I had already eaten, so I was just throwing them back. They were all like, you're not drunk enough. Yeah, just keep drinking. So they're all eating and I'm like, can I just get another one?
Host 2
What was the drink of choice in the other places?
Reshma
Most places it was. It's my birthday. Surprised me.
Host 2
Oh, no.
Intern Reshma
Oh. So it's a combo.
Reshma
It was a big combo night. Big combo. It's like a buffet of drink.
Intern Reshma
Yeah.
Reshma
And I can say this now, but at Twisted Taco, every time the waiter would take too long to bring my drink. My friend, one of my friends got me like a bunch of mini bottles. She would pour a mini bottle into my glass and just be like, just drink this. And I would drink it straight.
Intern Reshma
Wow.
Host 2
So you went. You went hard. You went heavy. You were gonna do this, right?
Reshma
Yeah, you'll hear.
Host 2
Okay, so again, this is the first one from Twisted Taco. And this one's around, what, seven o' clock at night?
Intern Reshma
Is that what we established at 7:43pm? Hey, Burcho, it's intern Reshma. I am at Twisted Taco right now. It's Like. Like seven something. Finally met up with my friends and I'm Chef. I have been carded three times so far. I've had, I think two or three mini bottles since you've got. And I'm getting a surprise drink from Twisted Tacos. So I'm feeling pretty good. All right.
Host 2
Okay. Pre. So we're pregaming right now a little bit.
Intern Reshma
Yep.
Host 2
Okay.
Reshma
All right.
Host 2
You want me to go ahead and play second one?
Reshma
Yeah, I guess so.
Host 2
Do you remember leaving these?
Reshma
I remember most of them. Like I remember leaving all of them. I can't remember what I said.
Host 2
Okay.
Reshma
I remember the general content of all.
Host 1
See, I think it's going to be right now. It's easy to ask her ahead of time what they're about. But about two more messages, I think you're gonna say now what's the next one?
Host 2
She's.
Reshma
Next one I think is the one I'm most embarrassed. This next one, the one after is the one I'm most embarrassed about. Cause I can't believe I told myself I wouldn't do it because it's one of those drunk tendencies I always do. Oh, well, let's play it.
Intern Reshma
Go ahead.
Host 2
Yeah. There are gonna be mini stories, I think with each and every one.
Intern Reshma
Sent at 8:48pm what's your name? Jacob. Hey, virtual. It's Reshma. I'm a twisted taco still. And Jacob brought me some free drinks. So I'm awesome right now. I'm or some right now. But I'm feeling great. And I've had. What have I had? I've had a couple mini bottles, a couple of drinks, some stuff, some shots, some other stuff I don't remember. But I'll call you later back.
Host 2
Okay, so we're getting a little goofier here.
Host 1
All right.
Host 2
Starting to get a little looser.
Intern Reshma
Did that happen? Sentences don't quite come to a full
Reshma
closure, you know, I think Jen just
Host 2
said a curse word or two in there now.
Host 1
Okay, did that have what you said you wouldn't do in there or we have not got. Okay, here we go.
Reshma
It's definitely the next one.
Host 2
And that last one was still a twisted taco. So you're there for over an hour and a half.
Reshma
Yeah, everyone had dinner. I mean, when I. The first voicemail was right when I got there. Okay, so we were there, but we were there a good chunk of time.
Intern Reshma
Sent at 9:36pm Hi, Bistro, it's Reshma. I'm here at Reroll. Cause Melissa told me about it, but it's really, really hot in here. I'm kind of dying. No, I didn't. And so it's really hot in here, and I'm drinking some sort of surprise drink that the bartender gave me. And I apologize, Madonna. I ended up calling earlier. I think I was supposed to call earlier, but it's really hot in here. I wish there was. Turn some air conditioning on or something. Other than that, I'm doing great tonight. I hope you guys are having a good night. All right, bye.
Host 2
Okay, the accent. What's the story behind the English accent?
Reshma
My dad's British, so, I mean, I go to England a lot, but when I was in Spain this past couple of months, my friends and I, for some reason, one night, just all started talking to accents. And it was this giant thing.
Host 1
And it's not accent, just so you know, if you.
Reshma
That night was British.
Host 1
Hey, Reshma, if you're in Spain, you're already talking with an accent, right? So you don't have to pretend to
Reshma
do one around each other. It would be either a British accent, an Australian accent. Like, we would pull out the most random accents. So that night it was British.
Host 2
I assume at Rerah you would have done Irish.
Intern Reshma
But, you know, you look closely, not.
Host 1
I do the same thing. I think I'm doing Irish. And then people are like, why are you talking like you're from Jamaica?
Reshma
Like, huh? Well, my friend who's keeping my phone was being really nice, and, like, normally she, like, takes my phone, I told you guys. And doesn't let me drunk dial. But that night, she was being really nice, and she's like, it's your birthday. Call whoever you want. I'm sure people want to hear from you. So I called my friend who I always do it with, and she started talking like that just as a joke. And so I guess by the time I called you guys, I was still in it. And I didn't realize that my friends were like, what are you doing? And of course, they thought it was hilarious.
Host 2
So we've got time confusion going on now. Okay.
Intern Reshma
Sent at 10:40pm Okay. A short freshman. I'm having a great time. I like giving me free drinks. Apparently, free drinks till I'm 30s. I'm all good. So I love working at the show and I miss you all.
Host 1
Here we go.
Intern Reshma
But I love all of you, and I hope you all have a great night. Bye. I love you all.
Host 2
And where were you at that point?
Reshma
I was at Sutra, and they had free kamikaze and bubblegum drinks until 11:30. So everyone who saw it Was my birthday, brought me one over. And the next day I counted how much I drank. I cannot believe how much I drank.
Host 2
Crazy amount.
Reshma
Ridiculous. Ridiculous.
Host 2
All right, so in that one, our voice is getting a little louder. We're a little more touchy feely, a little more love, Getting a little more curse words.
Host 1
You are the stereotypical drunk girl. Oh, like the person starts with, oh, my God, the waiter's over here. Give me drinks. And then there was. I love Everybody.
Host 2
We have four more to go.
Intern Reshma
Sent at 11:27pm hey, it's fresh. What's out? This is J. Paul. I picked up your girl. Restaurant that just started. Street pretty drunk. I'm drunk. You know, we having a night. We doing our thing.
Reshma
Well, you're playing my song, right?
Intern Reshma
Restaurant is totally up right now. She's just with some guys. I don't know what the hell's going on.
Host 2
Okay, so message five. Now. You're not even capable of leaving your own message.
Host 1
Who's that dude?
Reshma
No, those were. Those were two of my really good friends. Those are people taking care of me. And they came over to me to tell me it was time to call. And I was at Sioux on a Monday, so it was empty. And I was dancing by myself. And my song was on, so I didn't want to leave. So they decided to make the call for me.
Host 2
Okay.
Host 1
Those are the people taking care of you?
Reshma
Yeah.
Host 1
Isn't that like asking a blind person to help you cross the street?
Host 2
Are they both pretty jacked up at that point also?
Reshma
No. One of them drank in the beginning. And then the guy, I think he was pretty. But the girl, she was completely sober. Hopefully ish.
Host 1
Well said.
Host 2
So you're in Sutra Lounge. They're playing your. Your jam, so you're dancing by yourself. All right, this is voicemail number six.
Intern Reshma
Sent at 12:09am.
Reshma
I don't remember that one. I'm not gonna lie. I have no rec. I thought she only called once, so I did not expect that that was
Host 2
her or was that you?
Reshma
That was her. And then I think I was in the background.
Host 1
You were the screamer?
Reshma
I think so.
Host 2
You were the wooer?
Reshma
I think so.
Intern Reshma
I think I was the woo girl.
Host 1
Anybody ever say woo sober, ever?
Host 2
Was that sutra also?
Reshma
Yeah, we say it's sutra the rest
Host 2
of the whole night.
Reshma
Yeah, because at that point, people were just kind of showing up randomly. And I think my friend was sick of telling people where we were. So it was just like people kept coming and leaving.
Host 2
If you're gonna see her, see her at Sutra.
Intern Reshma
Yep, at 12:53am it's intern Reshma here. I'm calling at the end ish of the night. I think this will be my last call, but I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. My cousin just met me at a bar and I was at a bar and I'm pretty drunk. They were like feeding me alcohol there. They like IV'd me and I alcohol there. But I'm feeling pretty good. My Dee is driving so I mean I can't tell if she's driving straight or not, but it's pretty good and I had an awesome night and I will see you guys tomorrow. Awesome, awesome, awesome night. Like memorable. Maybe not sort of memorable night, but I guess I talked to you guys at work. I'm so. Thanks. I love you guys. Reshma. Q100
Reshma
signing off.
Host 1
That guy making noise in the background, was he awake or were those sleep? No idea. I'm pretty retarding because that's the same noise that I make to indicate to the cab driver perhaps he should pull over. Hey, we end 285 now.
Host 2
What I'm hearing here also is like you're already. You're past the mountain of energy and now you start. You're ready to crash out. All right, this is the very last one of the night. And these are our intern Reshma turning 21 Monday night, leaving voicemails for us every hour.
Intern Reshma
Sent at 1:13am hey Virtual, it's intern Reshma here. I'm on my way home with my BFF and Keeper episode Rocky. I had an awesome night. The last place I went to they gave me like bottles and bottles and shots and shots of free. So it's been a pretty good night. Sutra gave me some good and I did it by myself and it was good fun. And so I'm hoping I'll wake up in time for my project tomorrow. But if not, I think I'll make it. Anyways, hopefully you guys will enjoy this. Until then, I'm gonna grab some food and get some Taco Bell and go home. But until then, have a good night.
Host 1
It's time for fourth meal.
Host 2
There did seem like another accent that kind of kicked in at the very very end there.
Reshma
Taco bell at 2:00am so good. By the way, I had a 1:00 clock class and a 5:30 and I made it to neither. Neither did you really. I Last night going to bed was still a struggle.
Intern Reshma
Oh really? Oh my God. This is my first birthday.
Reshma
I have never been that hungover. My ent my mom was the entire day just making fun of me. She was like, do you want to go here the entire day? It was horrible.
Host 1
Just so you know, the urban legend at my college was that you didn't have to go to class on the
Host 2
day after your 21st birthday.
Intern Reshma
Right, right.
Host 2
Because universities will honor that. Was your English accent Voicemail three or four?
Reshma
I think it was four.
Intern Reshma
It was the fourth one sent at 10:40pm That's a bad one, too. Okay.
Reshma
Yeah.
Intern Reshma
Having a great time.
Host 1

Original Air Date: May 5, 2026
Main Participants: The Bert Show Hosts (Host 1, Host 2), Intern Reshma
Theme: Reliving Intern Reshma’s wild 21st birthday through a series of drunken voicemails she left the show
In this episode, The Bert Show takes a nostalgic and hilarious trip down memory lane as intern Reshma revisits voicemails she left throughout her 21st birthday night. The hosts (Bert, Kristin, Abby, Cassie, Tommy, and the crew) play each message, charting her night from excited beginnings to her not-so-glamorous hangover. Through these increasingly slurry and loving voicemails, the show captures quintessential coming-of-age chaos—and the universal messiness of a first legal bar hop.
"You can really get away with anything you want as a woman on two different occasions. When you turn 21 and when you get married."
“I had a pomegranate martini at dinner. Strongest martini. I’m not a martini drinker. Long drink.”
“Most places it was, ‘It’s my birthday. Surprise me.’”
"Hey Bert Show, it’s intern Reshma. I am at Twisted Taco right now... I have been carded three times so far... I’m getting a surprise drink from Twisted Tacos so I’m feeling pretty good."
“Jacob brought me some free drinks. So I’m awesome right now. I’m or some right now. But I’m feeling great.”
“I’m here at Reroll... but it’s really, really hot in here. I’m drinking some sort of surprise drink... I wish there was, turn some air conditioning on or something.”
Host 2: “The accent. What’s the story behind the English accent?”
“I like giving me free drinks. Apparently, free drinks ‘til I’m 30... I love working at the show and I miss you all... I love all of you, and I hope you all have a great night. Bye. I love you all.”
J. Paul (Reshma’s friend): "I picked up your girl... Restaurant that just started. Street pretty drunk. I’m drunk. You know, we having a night. We doing our thing."
“I think this will be my last call, but I don’t know... My cousin just met me at a bar... They like IV’d me and I alcohol there. But I’m feeling pretty good... Like memorable. Maybe not sort of memorable night.”
“I’m on my way home with my BFF... Had an awesome night... I did it by myself and it was good fun... Gonna grab some food and get some Taco Bell and go home. Have a good night.”
“I had a 1:00 clock class and a 5:30 and I made it to neither... I have never been that hungover. My mom was the entire day just making fun of me.”
The show is energetic, irreverent, supportive, and full of inside jokes. There’s a blend of affectionate ribbing, real talk about growing up, and classic morning show camaraderie. The hosts have fun at Reshma’s expense but also celebrate the rites of passage every young adult experiences.
If you love stories of milestone birthdays, embarrassing voicemails, and the hilarious consequences of a night gone wild (with a bonus of college folklore and accents), this episode is jam-packed with laugh-out-loud, relatable moments. Reshma’s candor and the crew’s commentary make it a memorable Bert Show vault selection.
