• The wife’s angry reaction: the woman is a nurse, presumably coming to help the husband for health reasons.

Memorable Moment:
Whitney (04:29): “She just stared at me, and I, you know, could tell she got really angry, and she just said, well, I just want you to know that she's a nurse and walks off.”

3. Embarrassment and Co-hosts’ Responses (04:46–06:15)

[Host]

This is the Bird show.

[Main Host]

All right, so let's refresh your memory. Whitney last Friday calls us and this is what she says.

[Whitney]

I live in the townhouse. So it's like, you know, we share it, basically, and we're very, you know, so we're very close. And I've never really met them officially, and I'm not very super friendly about them. I've talked to the wife a few times at the pool, but, you know, not extensively, but I definitely think her husband is cheating on her.

[Co-host 1]

And do they live right next to you? Like you guys share a wall? Are they across from you?

[Whitney]

Yeah, yeah, we share the wall.

[Main Host]

Okay. Then two things came out of the conversation that we had with her when we followed up with her on Monday.

[Whitney]

You know, we did follow him when he left, but he didn't go anywhere suspicious. But again, nothing much happened because the wife was never gone.

[Co-host 1]

This alleged affair you think is only happening Monday through Friday.

[Whitney]

I mean, it must be because that's when he comes home from work and then this woman comes to the house.

[Main Host]

Okay, that was her first hint. And then the suitcases.

[Whitney]

A husband came out with two suitcases and put them in the back of one of their cars in the suv. And usually she drives that one. Someone must be leaving for the week or maybe, you know, I don't know how long. So if there's a wife, then I'm sure that the girlfriend's gonna come over, and then I'm probably gonna follow her and sort of see what her deal is if she, you know, when she

[Sponsor Narrator]

leaves, she doesn't even know there's a girlfriend.

[Main Host]

Doesn't have a clue.

[Co-host 1]

Just creating drama, that woman is. Yeah.

[Main Host]

Creating drama for the sake of creating drama.

[Co-host 1]

But I'm into it. What happened?

[Main Host]

Hey, Whitney.

[Whitney]

Hi.

[Main Host]

Hi. How are you today?

[Whitney]

I'm okay.

[Co-host 2]

Hey, what happened?

[Main Host]

Producer Tracy said this ends today. What'd you find out?

[Co-host 3]

Bless you.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Co-host 2]

Excuse me.

[Whitney]

So I. Sorry, I'm a little embarrassed.

[Main Host]

Well, that should have happened last Friday. What happened?

[Co-host 2]

Go ahead.

[Main Host]

Sorry. Mean guy.

[Whitney]

So I did make the decision that I thought it would be mature decision. I thought that if the lady did come over, it would be weird to trail her, you know, But I did think that the wife should know if something was happening. So yesterday. Yesterday, the wife came home from work, and I said hello, and I greeted her. And as nicely as I could, I said, listen, just so you know, when you're not here, a random lady comes over and spends an hour with your husband, pretty much. And she just stared at me, and I, you know, could tell she got really angry, and she just said, well, I just want you to know that she's a nurse and walks off.

[Co-host 2]

Oh, no, dude. Uh.

[Whitney]

Oh, yeah. So I. I don't, of course, know any of the details, but you should

[Co-host 3]

go over there and find out what's wrong with him.

[Main Host]

Yeah. What you ought to do, really now is start spining to find out exactly what's wrong with him. So you have all the details.

[Whitney]

I feel so bad.

[Main Host]

You should feel bad.

[Whitney]

You should feel foolish.

[Co-host 1]

Oh, my goodness. Did you just want to melt into the floor right there and disappear?

[Co-host 3]

So wait, now I don't understand why the fact that she's a nurse makes it okay that they're having sex every day?

[Co-host 2]

Well, nurses are special people, so they get a pass.

[Main Host]

Yeah, it's not infidelity if it's a nurse.

[Co-host 4]

Okay.

[Co-host 3]

Just dressed like a nurse on Halloween.

[Main Host]

Well, so now you know. I think it was one Bert show caller that said, you know, that whatever happens here, you're gonna end up messing up any kind of relationship you might have had with that neighbor. That's fried now. There will always be this weird tension because I've lived in townhome communities where we have had tension with a neighbor. And it's weird when you pass them in your car, when you see them in the townhouse community, there's always this tension. And now you got it. And you share a wall with them.

[Co-host 3]

Neat.

[Whitney]

No.

[Co-host 1]

Are you gonna move?

[Whitney]

I don't know yet. I haven't had enough time to think about it. But I mean, you know, I never really saw them that much beforehand, so.

[Co-host 1]

No, I think you should move. I really do. I think you should pack up and start looking on Craigslist.

[Co-host 3]

It's not a great real estate market, but that's, you know, you just gotta own it.

[Co-host 1]

Well, it's an apartment complex, isn't it?

[Sponsor Narrator]

It's a townhouse.

[Main Host]

Townhouse?

[Whitney]

Yeah. Well, yeah, it's a townhouse. So it's. I don't know, I'm just, you know, I'm humbled and I should never have stuck my nose there. And I will remember that for the future.

[Main Host]

Now, my guess is because you've shown that you have this dramatic streak in you, like, you like this kind of drama, that there's no way that you're going to be able to let this go. You're going to have to say sorry, right? You're going to either knock on the door, you're going to see around, and you're going to apologize. Right?

[Co-host 2]

Let it go.

[Co-host 3]

Do not.

[Whitney]

If. If the moment seems right, then I will apologize because I do feel so bad. But you know, I'm not going to force it. I'm not going to. I'm not going to go to their. I'm not going to knock on their door and apologize because that would be even worse.

[Main Host]

How about singing telegram? This has worked really well for us in the past.

[Co-host 2]

Don't say us. Don't include us.

[Co-host 3]

You're so sensitive. When things go great, you're on board and things don't. All of a sudden you're on board.

[Co-host 2]

I'm an opportunist. That's called opportunist.

[Main Host]

So what is the lesson here, Whitney?

[Whitney]

Don't go stooping in other people's business. You don't know what's happening in their lives.

[Co-host 2]

That's right.

[Main Host]

Totally sound like my two year old.

[Co-host 4]

Right.

[Main Host]

Okay. All right. And I think the advice across the board here is just let it go. You don't have to apologize. There's always gonna be tension and you can't. This is. This is not reversible.

[Co-host 2]

You've got a bad read on what. When the moment is right. So I. Yeah, Just let it go completely. Even if you feel the moment's right, just don't do it.

[Main Host]

Let it go.

[Co-host 2]

Yeah.

[Main Host]

Did we find out what the suitcases and all that were for? I guess it doesn't matter at this point.

[Whitney]

Yeah, they were. I mean, they were just. Were both gone again. You guys were right. They were both gone on Monday night.

[Co-host 3]

Portable dialysis,

[Co-host 1]

an overnight at the hospital.

[Main Host]

Maybe his oxygen pacemaker.

[Co-host 3]

They were just swapping out his artificial heart or not. Something like that.

[Co-host 2]

It was a cooler a part of it. Because, you know that's a dead giveaway right there.

[Main Host]

Okay, Whitney, I can't say. I can't say that I'm sorry that it ended the way it did. But thank you for sharing with us. Appreciate it.

[Co-host 2]

You learned your lesson.

[Co-host 4]

Bye.

[Main Host]

Bye. Don't be that way.

[Host]

Right? This is the bird show.
