[Host 2]

The Bird show this was supposed to be stepping into psycho, but there's really nothing psycho about sue at all.

[Caller 3]

I know she's actually doing this chick a favor.

[Caller 4]

Yeah, she called us on Friday and we weren't really sure if she was truly legit or not, but basically she said that that her ex boyfriend was. Was with this other girl, then with her, then with the other girl and was marrying the other girl this weekend, but had been trying to cheat and was cheating with her the entire time of their relationship. So she was like, I'm gonna go and wreck up the wedding after she already marries him. Well, we told her on Friday. We said, you know what, you're really taking it all out on the bride instead of the groom. And the groom is the one that you're mad at. That's the exact. So she updated us today on what she did on Friday or what happened after she came on the show on Friday. And that was basically that one of the groomsmen called her and said were you on the radio? And she. They talked about it. He knew exactly the situation. He said, well, you should do it at the rehearsal dinner and not the wedding. Give her the chance to Back out of the wedding. So she does. She goes to the rehearsal dinner. She talks to the bride's sister and the bride's mother.

[Caller 3]

The sister's waiting for her in the parking lot. When she pulls up, you think there's

[Host 2]

gonna be a throwdown at that point, right?

[Sue]

So.

[Caller 4]

So they talk about everything. The sister and the mother are open to it and say, come over to the house later to the night because the bride's gonna wanna talk to you. They sit down at the bride's house where they are all, like, exchanging the information about it. And the bride said, I'm sorry, and hugged her and said, he always told me you were psycho. I had no idea all this was going on. She found out he went to both of their houses on Thanksgiving and was lying about where he was. And so we're at the point in the story now where they are all at the bride's house with the bride, her sister, her mother, and her father. Then. Then Sue. Then also, the groomsman is driving the dude home, is on the way to bring the groom over to the house. And the groom said, on the way, I should call her and maybe see if we can hook up one last time before I get married tomorrow.

[Sue]

And groom's mom is there too.

[Caller 4]

Oh, yeah. Groom's mother's there, too. Thank you, God. That was a lot.

[Host 2]

I think you got them all. The greatest story ever told.

[Caller 4]

Craziest story ever told.

[Host 2]

All right, Sue. So there you guys are. You're at the house. Groom and tool bag show up.

[Caller 3]

Well.

[Sue]

Well, first, the. His mom set up first.

[Host 2]

His mom shows up first. Okay.

[Sue]

And his mom actually brought his grandma with her.

[Host 2]

Oh, no.

[Caller 4]

Grandma's there.

[Caller 3]

No. Here comes grandma.

[Sue]

Hell no.

[Caller 4]

There we go.

[Sue]

And the br. Actually has two other brothers, so he. They were there too.

[Caller 3]

The brothers.

[Caller 4]

Wow.

[Host 2]

Everybody is there.

[Sue]

Yeah. Except for my mom wasn't there. She wishes she was. So she was.

[Caller 3]

Conference called in.

[Host 2]

We're gonna Skype in.

[Caller 4]

Mom.

[Sue]

But when the groom's mom got there, she. I mean, she knows about Emily. We dated for a long time. And she was like, what are you doing here? And I was just like, don't. She's like, did you not know that he was dating both of us? And she said, well, he told me that he was trying to feel out who he wanted to be with more because he loved you both. Or something like that. And we were like. Because, like, when I was with him, when he was still with her, we. I would go out to lunch with his mom, and she knew that he was dating her too. And so the bride's mom was just like, so you knew he was dating two people at once? And she was like, he told me that they both knew about it. And so finally, when the groom got there, he walked in and he saw me, and he kind of knew, like, what was. He knew, like, what was up. And he was just like, what are you doing here? And I was like, I mean, she deserves to know the truth, doesn't he? And he's like, whatever she's telling you, it's not the truth. And then that's when the groomsman said. His friend said it is the truth. He was like, he's been playing both of you guys for about a year. And he literally flipped a coin at a football game to decide who he was gonna marry.

[Host 2]

Oh, my God. Now the groomsman says this in front of the entire room of people that are compiled there?

[Sue]

Yes.

[Caller 3]

Wow.

[Host 2]

I feel like cursing and hitting delay on myself. Wow.

[Caller 3]

Wow.

[Host 2]

S bomb. Totally. Wow.

[Sue]

D. And so the groom. That's when we're like, well, are you gonna admit it? Are you gonna keep lying to us? And he was like, I don't see how this is any of your business. He's like, I'm marrying her. You need to get over the fact that I chose her. And then that's when she said, oh, you're not married. She's like, we're not getting married ever. And she was like, I want you to get all your stuff for the honeymoon, and I want you to get out. And that's when I was kinda like, do you think I should leave? And she's like, no, you stay. And she's like, if you. And she's like, if you wanna answer all our questions, you can stay, but if you don't wanna answer our questions, you better call all your family and tell them that the wedd. Because my mom's already called off all of my family.

[Caller 4]

Wow.

[Caller 3]

Is grandma saying anything at this time?

[Sue]

Yeah, his grandma just kind of sat there and stuck her head and what? Like, kept saying his name over and over again and shaking her head.

[Caller 4]

Man.

[Caller 3]

What? Do you disappoint grandma?

[Host 2]

Oh, no. Oh, my God. And this again. This is 24 hours before the wedding's supposed to take place.

[Sue]

Yeah, well, I mean, because it was probably like 11:30 at night by then, so less than 24 hours.

[Advertiser]

Wow.

[Caller 4]

So at this point, he's still blaming you for being psycho? He hasn't admitted to anything yet. Yeah, sociopath.

[Sue]

Saying it over. You keep saying you're such a psycho. You're such a psycho. And his. It's so hard not to say their names. But then she was like, she's such a psycho. She's like, look what you sent her on October 5th. You said that you loved her and wanted to be with her forever and don't ever leave you.

[Host 2]

And he was with you on that date, and he was with. I mean, his. He was with her on that date?

[Sue]

Yeah. Like, he was with her and was sending me those messages.

[Advertiser]

And then what do you say to that?

[Sue]

He just was like, she called me those up. And that's when his friend was just like, stop lying. He's like, just tell the truth. He's like, you've been playing her forever. And you told me just the other day that you still love sue more than you loved her, but she just was the better choice because Sue's still in college and doesn't graduate till May. Oh. Oh, boy.

[Host 2]

Wow.

[Caller 3]

So it is pretty bad when the guy. When he's standing in front of everybody and telling the truth on his guy because he has been feeling guilty for so long. Being an accomplice.

[Host 2]

Yeah. What's their relationship? This couldn't be a best friend, right?

[Sue]

They're best friends. But then he started to see, like. Because his girlfriend is my best friend, and I'm not. Like, I'm not. I don't want to, like, say I'm a good person, but I'm not a psycho, so I wouldn't keep acting this way, you know? And he was seeing how much it was hurting me. I mean, I wouldn't get on it. Like, when I found out, I didn't get out of bed for, like, a week because I was so depressed about it.

[Caller 3]

Sure.

[Caller 4]

Is this guy, the groom, really hot or something?

[Sue]

He. Yeah. I mean, he's middle king. I mean, he's not, like, drop dead gorgeous.

[Host 2]

I think you owe him something. What? I think she should sleep with him.

[Caller 3]

Jan or Sue?

[Host 2]

No, I think sue should. I think she owes him something. I mean, he's the one that drove her over there, and he's the one that was coming clean.

[Caller 4]

Oh, you mean the groomsmen. Not the groomsmen.

[Host 2]

Not the groomsmen.

[Caller 4]

I was asking about the groom.

[Host 2]

No, the groomsmen.

[Caller 4]

I was asking all this hype around, you know, all this hoopla around the groom and these two women putting up with this crap for so long. He had to be hot.

[Caller 3]

Well, they both loved him.

[Host 2]

Did he ever. Did he ever just finally throw his hands up and go, okay, okay, I did it. I'm sorry.

[Sue]

Yeah, He. He just said. He said, okay, I did it. He didn't say, okay, I did it. But he's like, okay, everything's true. He's like, on Thanksgiving, he's like, I chose the one I wanted to spend more time with, so that's why I spent dinner at her house. He's like, I asked her mom, her dad and mom for permission to marry her. And he was like, but she found out that I was. Because the next day after Thanksgiving, all my friends kind of. They knew he was cheating on me just because of things that were going on behind the scenes that he was saying to me and stuff. And so I found out, and I broke up with him and kind of called him and told him I knew everything and that I was gonna tell her everything. And so he just was like, I. He's like, I love her more, but I knew she would never forgive me for this. So then I just went through with marrying you. Holy crap.

[Caller 2]

Wow.

[Host 2]

So then they have to get on the phone with everybody that's flown in for the weekend and all that and break it off.

[Sue]

Yeah. And they broke it off. And then he eventually left with his mom and his grandma, and she looked at me and she goes, well, I have two tickets for honeymoon. She's like, do you want to be the one that goes with me? And I was like, I have school. I can't go. But I would.

[Host 2]

She was gonna take you on her honeymoon destination to hang out and party with you.

[Sue]

Yeah. And then the best part is that the next day, I had, like, four missed calls from him, and I had a message from him and him begging me to take him back and saying that things.

[Caller 3]

No. Are you kidding me? Come on.

[Host 2]

Come. No.

[Caller 3]

How pathetic.

[Caller 4]

So as soon as he knew that it wasn't going to ever happen with her because they canceled the wedding, he came back to you.

[Sue]

Yes.

[Host 2]

And my dad was the one who

[Sue]

called him to tell him he better stop calling me.

[Caller 4]

Your dad did?

[Sue]

Yeah, because he called me, like, four times before I woke up and then called me eight more times and just kept texting me and being like, please just give me another chance. I love you so much. And I made a mistake.

[Host 2]

Oh, my God.

[Caller 3]

Whatever.

[Host 2]

Oh, my God.

[Caller 4]

Psycho. He is crazy.

[Host 2]

Swear to me on your family this whole story is true.

[Sue]

I swear to my family. My girlfriends were like, they're not gonna believe you because it's so crazy. And they're like, we'll call in for you and tell you and everything.

[Caller 4]

Unbelievable.

[Host 2]

This is one of the most bizarre stories we have ever had in the nine years we're doing this show and had a complete end closure on. We had a whole bunch of people that were calling us, suggesting that we put his face up on our website. So nobody ever goes out with this guy ever again.

[Caller 2]

Yes.

[Host 2]

He's such a tool.

[Sue]

What?

[Host 2]

People want us to put his picture up on our website because he's such a tool.

[Sue]

He is a tool.

[Host 2]

Wow. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So as it stands now, he's on his own, the wedding is off, you're not returning his calls, and he got what he. It finally ends up good. Cause he got what he deserved.

[Sue]

Yeah, basically.

[Caller 4]

I'm so glad you did it on Friday. So she didn't marry him.

[Caller 3]

Yeah, me too.

[Caller 4]

I think that was the best decision he made.

[Host 2]

Have you been in contact with her since she offered to take you on her honeymoon destination?

[Caller 4]

That's crazy.

[Sue]

Yeah, she texted me and she just thanks me over and over again. And she was just like, it's so crazy because she's like, I seriously thought you were such a psycho. And like, we. We've seen each other before, like, out and stuff, and there's been, like, words between us. So she was just like, I'm so sorry for everything I said. And, you know, I was sorry. Cause I hated her so much too. But really, it was like him making us hate each other so much. Wow.

[Caller 3]

Wow.

[Host 2]

And that, my friends, is the most unbelievable story ever told on the Burke show.

[Caller 4]

She's gonna tell some of her friends in the future this story, and they're

[Caller 2]

not gonna believe her.

[Host 2]

Well, there's a whole bunch of people calling up right now that say they can't find anything wrong with the story, but it's just too perfect that they don't believe you. But I'm not even gonna put the call up.

[Caller 3]

Families gathered and waiting on him to show up. And.

[Caller 4]

Wow.

[Host 2]

Unreal. What an emotional roller coaster.

[Caller 4]

Kidding. Somebody needs to, like, get in touch with you guys and write the movie script.

[Host 2]

Serious, right? Nobody would believe it. Sue, thanks for. For letting us come along with you on this whole thing.

[Sue]

You're welcome.

[Host 2]

All right. Good luck.

[Sue]

Hey.
