Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Gift That Keeps Giving (01:16–04:22)

• The Setup:
  Brianna recounts her thoughtful plan: collect her mother’s old VHS family tapes, have them digitized onto DVDs as a Mother’s Day gift, and even request a “montage” edit.

  • “She has VHS tapes, like tons… of family gatherings and family moments. I thought, okay, I’m going to get all of her VHS tapes and…convert them to DVD.” – Brianna (01:40)

• The Discovery:
  She receives her DVD set early from the transfer service and spots one labeled “Intimate moments.” Expecting a sweet montage, she discovers, to her horror, it’s an X-rated home video made by her parents.

  • “No, no. Was not a montage of family moments. It was an adult entertainment tape that they had made back in the day.” – Brianna (04:07)

Processing the Horror (04:22–06:18)

• Collective Gasps & Jokes:
  The Bert Show crew oscillate between sympathy, comic relief, and playful ribbing.

  • “That's awesome.” – Dave, laughing (04:22)
  • “I mean, seriously, you watched your own conception.” – Frank (05:17)

• Parental Dread:
  Brianna is mortified for her conservative mom and herself.

  • “She’s not gonna be absolutely humiliated that she’s gonna know that I saw that.” – Brianna (04:42)
  • “It’s horrible. God, I can’t even describe it…Not something you ever wanna see in your whole life.” – Brianna (05:05)

“How Do We Fix This?” Solutions Frenzy (06:18–11:01)

• Ideas Fly Fast:

  • Try intercepting the package before her mom opens it (06:18).
  • Play it cool: “She does not have to know the daughter saw it." – Dave (07:04)
  • Tell her mom the digitizing company warned her about a “different” tape but insist she (Brianna) never viewed it, stretching the truth but sparing embarrassment (07:53).
  • Have the company call the mom, claim an “accidental mix-up” with someone else’s tape (08:52).
  • Enlist dad: “Call your dad and say, ‘Hey, Dad, there’s a DVD in there you might want to take out before you show the family.’” – Unnamed caller (09:46)
    • Both Brianna and the hosts agree: this would be even more mortifying!

• Countdown to Catastrophe:
  The crew likens the situation to a ticking time bomb, referencing pop culture (the movie "Heathers," TV show "24") to emphasize Brianna’s panic.

  • “It’s like the end of Heathers when the bomb was in the basement counting down.” – Frank (08:31)
  • “It’s all gonna end Sunday, 3 o’clock in the afternoon.” – Christina (08:38)

Shared Embarrassment & Listener Tales (11:01–12:29)

• Empathy from Listener Wendy:
  Wendy calls in with her own embarrassing parental discovery—a nude photo of her parents, leading to family laughs after initial shock.

  • “I found a picture of my mom and dad… both of them naked, and we ended up laughing about it. She was embarrassed, but it wasn’t a big deal.” – Wendy (11:06–11:19)

• Putting it in Perspective:
  Dave tries to reassure Brianna that, embarrassing as it is, one awkward tape won’t ruin her thoughtful gift.

  • “I don’t think it’s going to be as disastrous as you think…I know you don’t want your mom to be embarrassed, but… it’s just going to be uncomfortable.” – Dave (11:36, 11:51)

The Aftermath & Cliffhanger (12:29–12:41)

• Final Thoughts:
  The hosts propose reconvening after Mother’s Day for a post-mortem:
  • “Christina, let’s talk to you on Monday morning. Find out how it all went down.” – Host Christina (12:35)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On seeing parents’ home movies:
  “You watched your own conception.” – Frank (05:17)

• Essence of horror:
  “It’s horrible. God, I can’t even describe it…Not something you ever wanna see in your whole life.” – Brianna (05:05)

• Pragmatic denial:
  “She does not have to know the daughter saw it.” – Dave (07:04)

• Listener empathy:
  “I found a picture of my mom and dad… both of them naked, and we ended up laughing about it.” – Wendy (11:06)

Tone & Takeaways

The episode delivers equal parts cringe and camaraderie, balancing Brianna’s mortification with the show’s trademark humor and supportive banter. While there are no easy answers for family TMI, laughter and a little shared embarrassment go a long way—especially on live radio.

Key Lesson: Sometimes the best-intentioned surprises lead to the most unintended revelations—and all you can do is laugh, own the awkward, and hope your Mother’s Day isn’t too memorable… for the wrong reasons.

[Host Christina]

All right. Christina here thought she was doing a great thing. She knew Mother's Day was this weekend, so she sends mom out a package early. So it's there on Sunday.

[Co-host Dave]

Perfect.

[Host Christina]

Sounds great.

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah. Thought ahead, puts it in the mail. Very good.

[Host Christina]

Starts to panic a little bit. Hey, Christina.

[Caller Brianna]

Good morning. Good morning.

[Host Christina]

How are you?

[Caller Brianna]

I'm doing good. Doing good.

[Host Christina]

This has the potential to be an awful Mother's Day.

[Caller Brianna]

It really does. And I have no idea what to do. I'm freaking out a little bit.

[Co-host Dave]

Why'd you send her?

[Host Christina]

And we're. Let me just say this too. We're going to have to handle this very delicately. So let's pick and choose our words very carefully. Because it's before 8:30.

[Caller Brianna]

Okay. Okay, here's a story. So I was visiting my parents, they live in St. Louis. Visiting them a couple months ago. And I thought ahead because I've been wanting to do this for many years for my mom. But this was the year that finally, you know, I was like, okay, I'm going to do it. She has VHS tapes, like tons of VHS tapes of, you know, like, family gatherings and family moments. And I thought, okay, I'm going to get all of her VHS tapes and I'm going to take them to get converted to dvd.

[Co-host Dave]

Sweet.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah. I mean, no one uses VHS anymore except my mom. And so anyways, I went to this company that's right by their house, actually, and asked the people there. I mean, I had gathered so many vhs, they had them everywhere. I mean, her place was a mess. But I gathered all of these VHS tapes, take them to this place. And I asked them to do, you know, to convert them to DVD and to maybe do like edit a little montage or something that would be good for her for Mother's Day.

[Host Christina]

Awesome idea.

[Caller Brianna]

Great, right?

[Co-host Dave]

Fantastic idea.

[Caller Brianna]

That's what I thought.

[Host Christina]

I can't think of anything that a mother would want more than those kind of memories.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah.

[Co-host Frank]

Other than scratch off lottery tickets.

[Caller Brianna]

So everything was good. I asked them because they are like literally probably four blocks from her house. I asked them if. Cause I was coming back to Atlanta. I asked them if they could deliver it to her, you know, a couple days before Mother's Day. And I had written her a note and I, you know, I put, hey, mom, happy Mother's Day. Don't open till, you know, until Mother's Day or something. I hope you enjoy it. Well, they did exactly what they said they were going to do. And they also sent me a copy of the DVDs. I guess out of courtesy to me. I got them a couple of days ago. And one of them said, because they labeled them, one of them was labeled Intimate moments. And I thought, okay, this is probably the little montage that I asked them to do. And I popped it in and no, no. Was not a montage of family moments. It was an adult entertainment tape that they had made back in the day. So my mom's gonna open up? Yes, exactly.

[Co-host Dave]

That's awesome.

[Caller Brianna]

That's not awesome. I don't know what this is. Oh my God.

[Co-host Dave]

That's better than I thought. I thought it was gonna be something of you. Yeah, it's your mom. That's awesome.

[Caller Brianna]

I think she might actually like that. Oh my gosh.

[Co-host Dave]

She's gonna be so. You don't know my mom.

[Host Christina]

She's really conservative.

[Co-host Frank]

You saw your daddy's job.

[Co-host Dave]

You sound like it.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah. You don't know my mom. She's not gon gonna be absolutely humiliated that she's gonna know that I saw that.

[Host Christina]

I want you to give us a little bit of a play by play as you're watching TV and what you're. You gotta be careful about what you see, but like just the emotion that you have when you realize, oh my.

[Caller Brianna]

It's horrible. God, I can't even describe it. It's horrible. It's not something you ever wanna see in your whole life.

[Co-host Dave]

Very few people get to actually on D when they were created.

[Co-host Frank]

I mean, seriously, you watched your own conception.

[Caller Brianna]

I never thought my mom and dad were those kinds of folks that would.

[Co-host Dave]

But my thing is that you know the beginning of your story like she does never. She never has to know that. You got copies of these. Maybe. I don't know how you can do that. But I'm thinking that, like you said, you just gathered all her VHS tapes and send it. The only people that she has to be embarrassed about is the people that convert the company. She never has to know that. Maybe not saw it.

[Host Christina]

So let's say Mother's Day rolls around, and you got all this family there, and she gets this great gift, and she's like, oh, we gotta start watching this now. And the whole family is around the tv, and it's labeled Intimate moments.

[Co-host Dave]

It doesn't matter how old you are. A woman, she knows that that was in that group. So as soon as she sees that her daughter grabbed all her VHS tapes and sent it to be converted, that's gonna pop in her head. She's gonna know that she's gonna. That's the first thing she's gonna search for is through the tapes. Like, because she knows that's in there.

[Host Christina]

Is there any way to get to the package before your mom gets to the package? Like, can't you go over to Mom's house and go, oh, I wanted to add something to it.

[Caller Brianna]

I'm gonna fly back to St. Louis.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller Brianna]

Just to do that. Yeah.

[Co-host Dave]

I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't act like you saw. Actually might be glad to have it on dvd. Yeah. I mean, why?

[Co-host Frank]

Because it ends the hassle of rewinding?

[Co-host Dave]

No, I'm just saying because if it were from back in. She said, back in the day. Well, it can't be that long ago because they had a video camera. But she might like the way she looked 15, 20 years ago.

[Co-host Frank]

Big over the shoulder, camera.

[Host Christina]

Horrifying.

[Co-host Dave]

But you know what I'm saying, Like, she might be like, oh, I'm glad that's archived. I was looking hot back then.

[Host Christina]

She said that her daughter saw it.

[Commercial Voice 2]

Horrified.

[Co-host Dave]

She doesn't know that her daughter saw it. That's what I'm saying. She does not have to know the daughter saw it. If you tell her I just grabbed everything, put it in a bag, and sent it to this company. Happy Mother's Day. And then if she asks. Because she's gonna ask you. We'll get you.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah. But here's the problem with that, is that it is humanly impossible for me to lie to my mom. Like, I can't. I know I wouldn't be able to.

[Co-host Frank]

You know, and even if you were the best liar in the world, and she comes out and asks, have you seen any of these videotapes once you've seen your dad's penis?

[Caller Brianna]

Oh, God.

[Co-host Dave]

Then if you want wanted to use the truth with your mom, why did you call us? For advice? You know what I mean.

[Host Christina]

Well, is there an honest way around it then?

[Caller Brianna]

Maybe.

[Host Christina]

Hey, Brianna. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller Brianna]

Good morning.

[Host Christina]

Hi.

[Caller Brianna]

Hi. Tell your mom that the company called and said there was one DVD on there that was a little bit different from the rest and they wanted to give you a warning. She knows you know you're not lying to her, but you've never seen that. Oh, that's a really good idea. That could help. Or you could just have the company, if they're delivering it, say, hey, you know, we sent your daughter a copy of the dvd, but there's. There's one we didn't send her. It was a little bit different from the rest.

[Co-host Frank]

Is it already been delivered?

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah, it has.

[Co-host Dave]

She's already. So she always has the shipment, but

[Host Christina]

she's not supposed to open it until Monday.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah, because she told me. She's like, like, I got the box.

[Co-host Frank]

It's like having a bomb with a time. It's like the end of Heather's when the bomb was in the basement counting down.

[Co-host Dave]

That was a good movie.

[Co-host Frank]

Just get everybody out of the school.

[Host Christina]

This is like an episode of 24. It's all gonna end Sunday, 3 o' clock in the afternoon.

[Co-host Frank]

Jack Bauer. The following takes place between 1979 and 1980. Oh, Henry.

[Host Christina]

What if you call the production company. Production company calls mom and goes, we accidentally put somebody else's DVD within yours

[Co-host Frank]

because she doesn't know what it is yet.

[Co-host Dave]

She doesn't know what the gift is.

[Host Christina]

That's right.

[Co-host Frank]

And where are these?

[Caller Brianna]

But I really would not mind if that's surprise. At least of that is messed up.

[Co-host Frank]

Like, okay, where are the VHS tapes right now?

[Caller Brianna]

The VHS tapes are in a box they were supposed to deliver. Like, put the old VHS tapes in just like an unmarked box and then wrap the DVDs in like a nicer gift type box.

[Co-host Dave]

They're all there at her mom's house.

[Co-host Frank]

Even if they do that and they pick up both boxes, once your mom realizes what it is, she's gonna go look for that VHS tape.

[Co-host Dave]

She knows that's in there.

[Co-host Frank]

She knows that people have seen it.

[Co-host Dave]

She knows that's in there. I don't know why everybody thinks she's gonna for forget her tape. No. Hey, Shay, the tape's in there.

[Host Christina]

Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller Brianna]

Hey, I was just wondering, why don't you call your dad and say, hey, dad, there's a DVD in there that you might want to take out before you show the family. And you can watch it on your own time and make a little happy Mother's Day.

[Host Christina]

I'm not exactly sure who would be more humiliated in that situation.

[Caller Brianna]

I'm more embarrassed to talk to my dad about that.

[Co-host Dave]

No. Oh, no, no. I could not make that phone call. I just can't imagine me seeing my parents.

[Host Christina]

Would that be an easier call for you to make to your dad or your mom?

[Co-host Dave]

Mom, for sure.

[Host Christina]

I think for guys, it would probably be easier to make than a dad.

[Caller Brianna]

Exactly. But I'm a girl, so my mom

[Co-host Dave]

is telling my dad. Oh, that's funny. I think it's funny.

[Host Christina]

I've got no real good advice lined up for you on the phone. I think this is just.

[Co-host Dave]

I don't think it's gonna be as disastrous as you think. I just think it is gonna be embarrassing for her. And you know that the entire company saw that when they were transferring that tape. I mean, that was the entire company.

[Co-host Frank]

And, you know, they call people in. Yeah, because there are weird things. I mean, there was an ideal image. There's all sorts of stuff going on.

[Co-host Dave]

That's her parents.

[Caller Brianna]

Stop.

[Co-host Frank]

I'm just saying, like, there are things that you don't see in this day and age happening on that tape. They're probably smoking cigarettes while they're doing it.

[Co-host Dave]

Stop. That's her parents here.

[Host Christina]

Wendy here is hilarious, though. Wants to ease your mind a little bit. Go ahead, Wendy. You're part of the bird show.

[Caller Brianna]

I found a picture of my mom and dad about, I guess, five years ago. It was a picture of both of them naked, and we ended up laughing about it. She was embarrassed, but it wasn't a big deal.

[Host Christina]

Was it a picture just of them, like, holding hands naked? Or was it a picture of. You know, I'm talking about.

[Caller Brianna]

It was a picture of my mom kneeling down like she's about to do something.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, no,

[Host Christina]

no, no. Oh, no.

[Co-host Dave]

I will say that I think that this is not gonna ruin the entire idea of your gift. Like, I don't think it's. Like I said earlier, I don't think it's gonna be as disastrous as you think. I know you don't want your mom to be embarrassed, but I don't know. I just. I.

[Host Christina]

It's just gonna be uncomfortable.

[Co-host Dave]

It's gonna be for a moment. But I think that one tape out of. How many DVDs are there in this collection?

[Caller Brianna]

There were, like, six.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, just six. Okay.

[Host Christina]

How. I'm curious how many seconds into watching what you were watching, did you stop it pretty quickly?

[Caller Brianna]

I was.

[Co-host Dave]

How many seconds?

[Caller Brianna]

I don't know. I didn't count them. But just like a. You know, as soon as I realized that it was.

[Host Christina]

That I would pull every muscle in my body moving that fast to hit the off button.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah. Well, no, I mean, once I realized what it was, I did.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller Brianna]

Yeah. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that.

[Host Christina]

Of course. Of course.

[Co-host Frank]

It's not even debatable from a female point of view. What did you think of your dad?

[Caller Brianna]

Stop.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, God.

[Host Christina]

Hey, Christina, let's talk to you on Monday morning. Find out how it all went down.

[Caller Brianna]

Okay.

[Host Christina]

So to speak.

[Caller Brianna]

All right, guys.

[Host Christina]

All right. Good luck. Happy Mother's Day. The Bird Show.
