The Burt show okay, I have some advice for parents. And my advice to you is, especially if you have multiple children, even though that Bert has already done this. But by naming your children, the same first initial might come to haunt them in the future. And let me tell you why. As you know, my name is Melissa. My sister's name is Melanie. They both start Mel, and they both will come one right after the other on your phone, on an email. And so if you are just thumbing through a text, you know, let's say we want to send a quick text, you might get it wrong. Just like Katie Jo did the other day. So Katie Jo decided she's gonna send me a little lovey dovey message and let me know that she's coming home. Baby, for a little love. And I love you. No way. And send it to Melanie Cotton.

[Bubba Wallace]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. How graphic was the text? Or was it just a flirty, flirty.

[Melissa]

Send it to your sister. She sent it to my sister. Letting my sister know I'm on my way home, baby, for a little bit of loving. I love you. Do be. And my sister wrote her back and said, wrong, baby, but I love you too. That is awesome. So did she call you right away? It was the look on her face. She came in and looked at me and said, oh, God, I just sent

[Bubba Wallace]

a text message to your sister. This one here. This has got to be pretty common if you miss text somebody something really inappropriate because it just takes one letter like you said. One letter.

[Melissa]

Yes. And again, Emmyl. Emmy L. Both last name Carter. It's gonna happen. And sure enough, it happened. So my sister. My sister had full knowledge of everything that was going on. You know, the other afternoon, I told

[Bubba Wallace]

these guys a while back that Stacy and I were in Charleston, South Carolina, for a weekend by ourselves. And we ended up over at a Wild Wings and we were getting our drink and getting our party on pretty good by ourselves without the kids and stuff like that. So I went to go text her brother, my brother in law, because he loves Wild Wings. That's where you can find him on Fridays and Saturdays. That's where he goes. So my text was something like, I know you're jealous I'm at Wild Wings. And then I started to detail all the partying that where you were doing. And I accidentally sent it to her dad. This one name off.

[Melissa]

Just one name off.

[Bubba Wallace]

Brandon. Don. Don. Brandon. Just one name off.

[Melissa]

Did Don respond?

[Bubba Wallace]

No, he never did. I think it's one of those things, like, I'm gonna pretend I didn't get it and why don't you pretend you didn't send it?

[Melissa]

Right, right. That's terrible.

[Bubba Wallace]

Hey, Jessica, good morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller 1]

Good morning.

[Bubba Wallace]

Good morning.

[Caller 1]

My boyfriend yesterday accidentally texted my mom telling her that we should get a hotel room this weekend and that we would have a lot of fun.

[Tyler Redick]

Do we want to ask how old you are or is that going to be really uncomfortable for us?

[Caller 1]

I'm 20.

[Melissa]

Okay, because you sound like you're about 15.

[Bubba Wallace]

Yeah, if you said 13, I get that so much.

[Melissa]

Did your mom write him back?

[Caller 1]

No, she just acted like she never got it. And he texted me like, oh, sorry.

[Bubba Wallace]

And you're absolutely sure he accidentally sent that to your mom? Because you may be on the voice disguiser come Monday morning and she may

[Melissa]

be sending her picture in for our MILF madness.

[Bubba Wallace]

Melissa, good morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller 1]

Good morning.

[Bubba Wallace]

Good morning.

[Caller 1]

Perhaps a year ago, I sent a text message to my friend Lindsey by mistake. She had been getting on my nerves all week long, just ranting and raving, going crazy, being obnoxious. Just totally getting on my nerves. I meant to send that text message to my boyfriend. I sent it straight to her. She questioned it. I completely lied. Told her that it was one of my cousins that was staying with me for the week.

[Bubba Wallace]

So you never listed her by name? It was just sort of a, she's driving me absolutely crazy today.

[Caller 1]

No, I definitely said Lindsey's driving me absolutely crazy, but I made her believe that it was my cousin.

[Melissa]

You made up a cousin named Lindsay?

[Caller 1]

I don't have a cousin named Lindsey.

[Tyler Redick]

And you have to remember that for as long as you're friends is how jacked up is it a big how's your cousin Lindsay Who.

[Bubba Wallace]

Hey, Kelly, good morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller 1]

Good morning. I had text my cousin Jamie. You know how you get those texts

[Caller 2]

that are forwarded all the time and

[Caller 1]

they're really raunchy and nasty? Well, I had been sending her these texts for, like, the past month, and two days ago, I got a phone call from somebody named Jamie saying, I don't know who you are, but these texts are absolutely hilarious. Come to find out, it was a business associate.

[Melissa]

Oh, no.

[Caller 1]

She went on to just tell me about all of the texts I've been sending her, because I'm like, I don't know you. I didn't send you anything. And she just, oh, yeah, you sent me the one about Ms. Pac Man. And you know how, you know, she swallows for 25 minutes.

[Bubba Wallace]

Good morning, Ashley. You're on Q100. Hi.

[Caller 1]

Hey, guys. Sent a text message to my boss when it was supposed to go to my boyfriend. And I had just started working, like, a week. A good little come home, can't wait to see you, want you to kiss me, blah, blah, blah. And got one back saying, are you sure you sent this to the right person? See you Monday morning. Little awkward Monday morning.

[Bubba Wallace]

Yeah, these are. These are starting to heat up now. Chris, go ahead. You're on Q100.

[Caller 2]

I'm a chef.

[Caller 1]

Okay.

[Caller 2]

I was at work Friday night, and me and a guy that were working in the kitchen together were texting each other back and forth, and we were talking just the most horrible trash about a guy that was working in between us. I mean, and this was our. This is my boss, like, the main guy. And we're in the middle of sending these texts back and forth, and my boss leans over and taps me on the shoulder and turns around and goes, did you mean to send this to me? And I turn around, oh, my God, man. Like, no, I meant to send that to. Blah, blah, blah. I ended up spieling for about three or four minutes and got away with it, but I was on the edge of. Of getting in a lot of trouble.

[Bubba Wallace]

These are turning from texts into pictures now. And this is. This is when the whole. Hey, Hope. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller 1]

Yeah. My sister. I have a twin sister, and she sent me a picture of herself when she was supposed to be sending it to her husband.

[Tyler Redick]

Oopsie.

[Bubba Wallace]

It was a naked picture of herself.

[Melissa]

Yeah, My eyes.

[Tyler Redick]

I can't see. At least she sent it sister to sister, not sister to brother, because that would traumatize you. Imagine if your phone and you open it up and it's a naked picture of your brother with a Note that says, like, this is waiting for you.

[Bubba Wallace]

Come and get it.

[Caller 2]

Come and get it.

[Melissa]

Stop. I'm gonna vomit.

[Bubba Wallace]

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

[Caller 1]

Good morning.

[Bubba Wallace]

Hey.

[Caller 1]

How are y' all doing?

[Bubba Wallace]

Okay.

[Caller 1]

All right. I have a cousin who has a wife named Nina. And I had been with this guy for about three months, and I had taken a naked picture of him. Well, in. I have Nina, then I have my grandmother, which is Nana. I text the picture to my Nana. She's like, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? You need to go pray right now.

[Melissa]

You know what?

[Caller 1]

I'm so embarrassed. I still can't even hardly talk to her about it.

[Melissa]

I know, but the thing is, she kept those pictures, you know?

[Bubba Wallace]

She did. Come on.

[Melissa]

She kept those pictures.

[Bubba Wallace]

Now, what were you doing sending the naked picture of the boyfriend to another friend?

[Caller 1]

Because I wanted her to see how big he was.

[Bubba Wallace]

Well, hold on. Why don't you do this?

[Tyler Redick]

Well, that's gonna guarantee.

[Bubba Wallace]

Yeah. This is gonna take us into a totally different direction. And let's try to be as PC as we can. Are women sharing their pictures of their naked men with other women?

[Caller 1]

I've never done it.

[Tyler Redick]

That means you're definitely not.

[Melissa]

I've never shared it. I don't even have a camera phone. But I have seen them.

[Caller 1]

Yeah.

[Bubba Wallace]

So girlfriends of yours will show you pictures of their boyfriends naked?

[Caller 1]

Well, not so much if. Let's say this guy was hung like a horse. So, I mean, you had to show it off.

[Bubba Wallace]

You're bragging more than anything else.

[Tyler Redick]

Isn't it true that you're definitely not gonna marry the guy?

[Caller 1]

Like, if the guy's not, he's long gone.

[Bubba Wallace]

I got questions now. I've got questions about that that are gonna really scare guys.

[Tyler Redick]

Jen doesn't have a Came, but she's actually done a pencil sketch, the Birch Show.
