Burt
Purch the Bird show we're gonna get.
Jeff
Sarah, the wife who we truly believe is the worst wife in the world on the phone here in just a couple of seconds. This guy Jason called us up a couple of minutes ago and told us that he works with this woman and her husband is down in Houston this week and he's got buddies that are coming in from all over the country to all party together this week in Houston and then go see the game on Sunday. But they sent his ticket to his house so he doesn't have it down in Texas right now. The wife has it here in Atlant Atlanta and She's holding onto it and she's planning on not sending it to Houston just to teach him a lesson because of some stuff that's been going on around the house, or not going.
Melissa
On because he's not holding up his end of the bargain, like with house projects or whatever. And I think it's important to point out because of course Super Bowl's been here in Atlanta and anybody that tries to score super bowl ticket, you know how difficult it is to get a ticket to that game because that game is really not for the average Joe to walk in and get a ticket. I mean, it takes a lot of work and know a lot of people to get a ticket.
Burt
Super bowl tickets, this. We're going on ebay for up to eight grand.
Jeff
Is that right?
Burt
Eight grand.
Jeff
Alright. So her name is Sarah and she's been cool enough to actually come on with us this morning. Hey, Sarah.
Jen
Hey.
Melissa
Hi, Sarah.
Sarah
How are you guys?
Jeff
I'm good. This is Bert, and this is Melissa and Jen and Jeff, and this is the Bert show on all the hits Q100.
Sarah
Hey, what's up?
Jeff
Hi. Thank you for coming on with us.
Sarah
Sure.
Jeff
All right. We're kind of seething. We're kind of like ready to pounce. Or we can look at this as an intervention.
Jen
Okay.
Burt
Or. Or you might, or you might be right and we might be crazy and that might be a Billy Joel song.
Jeff
Sarah, your co worker Jason called us up earlier this morning and he was telling us that we think that you have a really bad plan going down for your husband at the Super Bowl. He told us that your husband's down there right now and he's with a whole bunch of friends and everybody has their ticket except him. And you have his ticket, but you've decided to hold out on him and not send it down there to teach him a lesson.
Sarah
That's right.
Jeff
So that's all accurate.
Melissa
So Jason just like overheard you telling friends at the office this story.
Sarah
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure people at the office have been talking about it, especially guys, you know, because people have given me a hard time about it.
Jeff
But we're all trying to think what possibly he could have done over and over and over again for you to take such a drastic action like this. Because this is, I mean, this is really gonna be hurtful. You know that.
Sarah
Oh, you know what? I do know that. But that's, you know, unfortunately, the situation that he's presented for himself. You know what I mean?
Melissa
Well, not really. That's what we're Calling you. What is the situation?
Sarah
Well, I mean, okay, I love him. He's great. I've been married a year and a.
Burt
Half to him now, just so you know, what you're selling into. Burt is standing back from the microphone. Like, there's this pad on the floor that's, like, in front of the microphone, and he's off the pad sparring with the microphone. Like, if he steps on the pad, he won't be able to hold back.
Jeff
And he'll yell at you.
Burt
So he's standing actually away from the.
Jeff
Trying to keep an open mind, though, and hear what his track record is here, his resume.
Sarah
You know, there are two sides to every story. But, you know, I've been married a year and a half to him, and he's great in every way, except when it comes to, I guess, like, you know, adult house responsibilities. He really can't figure it out. And that's just a huge part of a marriage, in my opinion, and a huge part of a life with someone. But, you know, no one really understands what it's like to live with him. He basically. He starts things and doesn't finish them.
Melissa
Like, what are we talking about?
Sarah
He can't finish anything.
Melissa
What kind of projects are we talking about him not finishing?
Sarah
Around the house, off the bat? Okay, we have a loose tile in the entryway, okay? And we've had it since we bought the place. It's a loose tile. It drives me nuts.
Burt
Here goes Bert again, off the mat.
Melissa
What else? You gotta make it better than a loose tile.
Sarah
He won't fix it. He started work on the porch, on the back porch. Doesn't fix. I mean, it. Never finishes it.
Jeff
So what? So what?
Sarah
I understand two or three things. You know, I've actually got, like, a full list of things. You know, he never does the dishes. We will finish dinner. He'll put his dishes by the sink and doesn't wash them.
He'll go to the freezer and use up all the ice cubes of the ice cube trays and never refills them. He'll leave out his tools to fix something, and he just leaves them out, you know, and I end up picking them up. He can never, ever keep his office or the garage clean. It's. It's like a pig sty. It's disgusting.
Melissa
Sarah, let me stop you for a second. Let me ask you why. First of all, let's. I want the history of the conversations you've had with him based on this and his reaction to it and then why you chose this weekend and The super bowl, to have to put punishment on him. Okay, so have you spoken with him about these items that you've listed? And what is his response? Been on that constantly.
Sarah
We speak about it. His big thing is, you know what, you know, I love you, but, you know, I'm sorry, I just. I don't have time. I got, you know. Oh, my God, I got so busy, I forgot. That's the big thing. I'm just. I'm sorry. I'm so busy. I just forgot. I forgot to refill this or I forgot to do the dishes or I forgot to work on the porch or everything. You know, he's supposed to, like, he'll. My mom will call and she'll need some help at the house, and he'll say, oh, definitely, you know, I'll go to your mom's place and do it.
Jeff
Okay. You can kind of stop with the history, because we get it. Okay? He's kind of irresponsible. He starts projects he doesn't finish.
Melissa
And you've talked to him about it.
Jeff
And he doesn't respond. Okay, so that's the history here.
Melissa
And this man is a faithful husband to you and treats you with respect?
Sarah
Yes.
Burt
Would you consider him. Other than the errands, would you consider him a good husband?
Sarah
Absolutely.
Melissa
So why. Again, my question, why this weekend?
Sarah
Because nothing else will get through to him to make him see that this is going to affect me in the marriage in the long run.
Jeff
You are gonna lose this guy. You are gonna lose a great ticket.
Burt
In front of you. Or do you know what kind of seat it is in the arena in Houston?
Sarah
It's in a. What they. I guess a corporate section.
Jeff
Gonna be a good seat. It doesn't even matter. I mean, if you have a Super bowl ticket, you just want to be.
Melissa
In the stadium and the nosebleeds. I'd still be just as mad. I don't think this is gonna change his behavior. I think it's going to really damage your relationship.
Sarah
I don't know. I don't. I see any other way to get through to him. And, you know, the big thing is I know he's gonna. He's gonna wanna know why and how it happened and this and that. And I really plan on saying exactly what he always says to me, which is, you know what? I'm so sorry. I'm too busy. I completely forgot. I completely forgot to send them to you.
Burt
Do you know what corporate section or where it is?
Sarah
No, it's just corporate section. I know nothing about it. He told me it's like 12 rows back off the 40 yard line.
Jeff
Oh, God. Good morning, Annette.
Jen
Sarah, you have been married for a year and a half. I have been married for 21 years. Trust me. You keeping your husband's ticket while he's down with his friends causing embarrassment and unnecessary heartache behind some projects that have not been completed. He's only been married to you a year and a half, remember? A year before this, he didn't even have projects. Give the guy a chance. You give that ticket to the Burt show, let them call a company that can get that ticket to him before Super Bowl Sunday. This situation will stink like a skunk under the coffee table in your living room for the rest of your marriage. You cannot imagine the kind of harm that you are causing your relationship because you are upset about projects.
Sarah
It's a year and a half actual projects. And it has more to do with. This is not the life that I want. I don't want, you know, someone who can't finish anything. What's going to happen when I.
Jeff
When I want to House.
Jen
I understand, Sarah, but he will grow into being able to finish those projects. He will grow into the husband that you marry. You cannot marry him. Look, those guys that finish projects all the time are the guys that are on the tool show, the handyman show. That's not real life. Everybody's husband doesn't complete a project every time they start it. Give the guy a chance. But this is going to stink in your marriage if you have one after this forever.
Sarah
Well, I'm sorry. I've made my decision. I mean, this is. I'm just gonna give back to him exactly what he gives to me right now.
Melissa
Sarah, Sarah. I mean. I mean, honest, honestly. I mean, my concern is the fact, like you said, this is not what I want. There is no I in a relationship. I'm sorry, it is you. You have committed to this man. He's committed to you. And it's about compromise and that. And I think the fact that you're gonna make such a stance on the woman that just calls married 21 years. If you. If you go through with this, you won't be married to this guy for 21 years.
Sarah
Well, you know what he has thought about I. You know what I mean? So now I'm gonna show him what it's like when I think about I.
Melissa
And then hopefully that's not gonna make a good marriage.
Jeff
He. You're on all the hits. Q100. Try to talk some sense into Sarah here.
Andrea
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Matt is not your Child, he is your husband. Okay? And I'm going to tell you one thing. It's one book called Men are from Mars, Women are From Venus. You married a man. That's the first thing you got to realize.
Jen
2.
Andrea
I used to do that. We've been married for a year. We've known each other for 11 years, but we've been married for a year. I nagged and nagged and nagged. I'm telling you, you stop nagging and you'll get your results. Because he is more scared of me not saying anything than me saying something. When I be quiet, he tells his friend, oh, God, I'm in trouble.
Burt
Something's brewing.
Andrea
He freaks out if I'm hot.
Burt
It's like when you come home late at night after curfew, and your dad's sitting in the living room and he just looks at you and shakes his head and goes up to bed.
Hers Weight Loss Advertiser
Yeah.
Burt
Like, you don't sleep at all that night. Cause you know some sort of insane ass whooping's coming tomorrow.
Hers Weight Loss Advertiser
Yeah.
Jeff
If you.
Andrea
Also, she's gotta realize he left the house. It's not like he took off the toilet to replace it. And that's the only toilet she had and didn't put it back on. She has a house. She is well taken care of.
Jeff
And you've said. You have said here, right, Sarah, that he's great in every other way.
Sarah
Yes.
Jeff
Every other way. You love this guy. He's perfect.
Sarah
You know what I think? I think it's hard because people don't understand. It's not like I want to do this, but I really.
Melissa
You're such a. Sarah, I think I'm constantly getting.
Sarah
I'm sorry. I'm too busy. I forgot. And I just. I really feel that I need to throw that back in his face at this point because I'm sick of it.
Burt
What. What is the.
Like, your last memory of him either good or bad? Like, has he done something really nice for you lately? Or has he done something, like, really bad? Like what. What's the last. What in your. What is the last really nice thing he did for you?
Sarah
The last really nice thing he did for me. He came home with. I love white roses. Those are my favorite.
Burt
How long ago?
Sarah
Maybe, like, two and a half weeks ago.
Burt
What was the occasion?
Sarah
There was no case in doing.
Jeff
What are you doing, woman?
Burt
He brings you flowers for no reason less than three weeks ago.
Sarah
Mm.
Burt
And this is.
Sarah
He was also supposed to, like, right before he left, he was supposed to go to my mom's and help her with something in the house.
Melissa
Oh, my.
Jen
Okay.
Sarah
And he didn't go. He's been putting. He's been putting it off. She's been asking for a very long time.
Jeff
Okay, hold on. Look at Jen.
Burt
Jen, what were you saying?
Melissa
I can't handle it. I can't handle it.
Jen
I want to strangle her.
Jeff
You know what? You're not alone in this, though, Sarah, because at least Bonnie here agrees with you. Hey, Bonnie.
Jen
Hey, guys.
Andrea
Hey, Sarah, I do agree with you.
Jen
Because I have a husband who.
Sarah
And I've been married 10 years now.
Jen
And I have a husband who. I get the constant. I forgot, I forgot, I forgot.
Andrea
And unfortunately, the super bowl is a once.
Burt
It's a once in a lifetime. Twelve rows off the field. That's not.
Jen
Yeah, that's a golden freaking ticket.
Andrea
But her side is, this is everyday life.
Jen
And men get treated like their children.
Andrea
As you guys said earlier, and they.
Jen
Get all these allowances and all these opportunities, and the women in the marriage have to do all the responsible things.
Andrea
And it's okay to do.
Jeff
I'm not saying it's right, what he's doing. What I'm saying is her course of action is so harsh that she is going to ruin her relationship with a really good guy.
Melissa
This is an inappropriate time to try to bring this point up.
Jeff
This is shocking. This is super bowl shock and awe, what you're doing.
Burt
Punishment does not fit the crime.
Jeff
Right.
Burt
This is locking him up for five years because he got a jaywalking ticket.
Sarah
Right. But you're not in the marriage, so you can't really see that.
Melissa
Sarah, honey, you said nobody understands. I think every married couple understands what you're saying. You've only been married a year and a half. And when you hear women call you up who have been married for 21 years, there's a reason they've been married for 21 years. And I'm telling you, if you say because it bothers me that you even use the word, I'm going to throw this in his face. That relationship won't last.
Jeff
Andrea, you're on all the hits. Q100. You're gonna be the last call. Because there's, like she said, there's nothing that we can say over the next three hours to make her change her mind. Go ahead, Andrea.
Andrea
Sarah, honey, let me tell you something. I've been married for 10 years. I have two daughters.
Not quite. Eight years ago, six weeks after my second child was born, my husband had an affair. A minor little thing.
He had tickets to a NASCAR once in A lifetime chance to drive an official NASCAR race car. He left the day that I found out. Had I done what you're proposing to do to your husband, I wouldn't be married. And mind you, we're happily married now.
Jeff
So what you're saying is even. Even if this guy screwed around.
Melissa
Well, I would have. Now I have to disagree with her.
Jeff
I would have held the ticket.
Melissa
My spouse screwed around. He ain't getting the ticket.
Jeff
Yeah, I think I got to go with you on where it goes with.
Andrea
The fact that, you know, you have children involved at this point.
Melissa
Well, he should have looked at the fact you had children, didn't have the affair, but that's a whole different story.
Andrea
But, no, I agree. But what my point is, is that what she is proposing to do is so ridiculously stupid. She's going to cost herself, her marriage, her life. It's not going to be the same. He will never forget this, ever. Even if he decides to stay, you're right. He will never ever forget it.
Melissa
Right.
Andrea
Ten years down the road, if they're absolutely still together, miraculously, he will never forget it.
Jeff
Sarah, there's nothing that we can say to make you change your mind on this?
Sarah
No. Well, I'm positive that I'm doing the right thing.
Melissa
I hope you enjoyed the year and a half you were married.
Jeff
Yeah. I mean, because now if he finds out what you're going to do, he's going to end up getting a ticket and there's going to be no lesson learned here whatsoever. And he's going to. I mean, he's already going to be upset. So you're gonna lose on a bunch of different accounts here. Can we call you on Monday at least find out how everything went? You gotta be honest with us about that. Yeah, okay. Okay.
Melissa
Well, Sarah, we do appreciate you coming on and talking to us and taking the phone calls.
Sarah
Sure.
Jeff

Release Date: December 9, 2025
Host: Pionaire Podcasting
Cast: Bert, Kristin, Abby, Cassie, Tommy, Jeff, Melissa, Jen, Callers
Main Guest: Sarah (the wife in question)
This charged and dramatic episode centers around Sarah, a wife who is contemplating withholding her husband's Super Bowl ticket as punishment for his ongoing failure to complete household tasks. The show’s hosts and listeners discuss whether this act makes her "the worst wife ever," delving into relationship dynamics, communication pitfalls, and the risk of punitive behavior in marriage. The episode features passionate advice, debate, and listener call-ins representing both sides of the issue.
The episode is energetic, judgmental, and deeply invested in the idea of fair conflict resolution in marriage. Hosts and listeners alternately admonish and empathize with Sarah, with the overwhelming consensus being that her plan is counterproductive and potentially disastrous for her relationship.
Final Note:
Sarah remains undeterred by the hosts and callers' criticisms, setting the stage for a dramatic follow-up episode on the aftermath of her controversial decision.
