[Host Burt]

Acast.com get it the Birch show let's go ahead and give out the warning right now because this is the time of year where everybody's taking vacations, for one, you know, at one point or another.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Right.

[Host Burt]

And I think when you're single and you go on vacation, like, nothing makes the trip more perfect than when you hook up with somebody.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Exactly. This just happened to a friend of ours. We all went on vacation to Charleston, South Carolina for Memorial Day weekend. Friend of ours met, he's a single guy, met this really cute girl, and they had what we're now coining a vacation ship where they met and hung out and then hung out again the next day and the next night. And he actually extended his vacation ship by like three days and so they could continue dating or whatever, have this little romantic love affair or whatever. And then we were asking him and following up, like, is anything gonna happen with this? And he said, no, it was just a locationship. And I said, what about a vacation ship? And so that's what we're coining his relationship with this cute girl in Charleston just a vacation ship. But I was wondering about vacation ships gone wrong, like ones that follow you home.

[Host Burt]

Yeah. Because it's a completely different animal.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Then they become stalker ships.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

Right.

[Co-host or Contributor]

The vacation ship that turns into something else because maybe one person wants it more than the other one does. Like, once you come home, like, your.

[Host Burt]

Standards are just different when you're on vacation. Also, like, the Circumstances, things that you normally would not accept on your home base. If it's an away game and you're on vacation, you may just go, you know what? I'm only hanging out with this person for three or four days. She's so hot. Or he's so hot that even though he smokes or drinks or is married, I. I can get past this for three days. Yeah, sure, three days.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Intern Jennifer was just telling us about one of her friends just went on a cruise, met a guy, had a vacation ship, and now they're trying to date when they came home off the cruise.

[Host Burt]

Never works.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Keep it on the boat.

Plus, I think the majority, more people than not tell little fibs.

[Host Burt]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host or Contributor]

When their, you know, vacation ship is going on and, you know, like, I'm sure your buddy who is hooking up in Charleston was probably, you know, had to get back to Atlanta to study for the bar exam.

Sure. Beefing up his job. Yeah, exactly.

[Host Burt]

So I want to know how your vacation ship kind of haunted you when you got home. So things were great. In this case, you went to Charleston for two or three or four days. In his case, he meets this girl. She's cool enough to hook with and hang with for a couple of days, so they spend four or five great days together. Right? But let's say he comes home and he's ready to move on with his life and she somehow like googles him or finds him, keeps calling, keeps calling, texting or something, just not into it. Like, it was fine while you guys were on vacation, but it's haunting you now that you get Back to Atlanta. 404-741-1005 I can share this story that happened a long time ago when I was in Hawaii. I went down there for my 21st birthday with two other guys and we were all down there just doing the drinking thing, the partying thing, and my. My boy Johnny hooks up with this girl from Seattle, Allison. I'll never forget her. And, and she was hot. She was way smoking, and she had the non smoking friend with her, but I had to be the good wingman because if my boy is about to hook up and she won't leave her friend.

[Co-host or Contributor]

So sometimes the grenade is a little bit chunky and has a lot of moles.

[Host Burt]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Hop on.

[Host Burt]

But it wasn't a one day deal because we weren't just. I mean, he was like really digging her. So he's having this vacation ship and here I am hooking up with this, this girl that I have no interest in whatsoever for Four days just so Johnny can get him some. But at least when the trip's over, I'm like, okay, you know, I get points for being loyal. I had your back all week. So we get back to San Diego, and I'm thinking the whole thing is over. He wants to continue this relationship with Alison, but the only way that she'll come back to San Diego she lived in Oregon, is if her friend could come also.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Oh, no.

[Host Burt]

So he asks me, dude, look, I know you jumped on the grenade for four straight days in Hawaii. You gotta hook me up again. So sure enough, I have to spend another three days with her, like, every month for three or four months.

[Co-host or Contributor]

You're like, this was a vacation ship.

[Host Burt]

Leave it there. It haunted me. Totally haunted me.

[Co-host or Contributor]

It's funny.

[Host Burt]

Jessica, good morning. You're on the virtual on all the hits. Q100. What's going on, Tana?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Guys?

[Host Burt]

Hey, your vacation ship haunts you when you got back to Atlanta?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Yes. I actually lived in Virginia at the time, though I didn't have a vacation ship. I had a drunk hookup with just a total dog ugly guy. So apparently I had told him where I went to college and everything, and I had given him my number.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Uh.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Oh, well, I was on spring break in Panama City, and he kept calling me, and I was like, oh, you know, his name was Spencer. And I was like, you know, I have a boyfriend. And I did have a boyfriend at the time, too. I was like, I have a boyfriend. I really can't do this. You know, I was drunk. Whatever. A month later, after spring break is over, he shows up at my door at college. He had looked me up on our student directory and shown up. He lived in New York and I lived in Virginia.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Oh, worst.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

He came all the way from New York to see me. So I ended up having to tell my boyfriend about. And it was horrible.

[Host Burt]

Now, he never gave you any warning he was showing up, nothing. Just ends up knocking on the door. There he is.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Just knocked on the door. And I didn't really realize who he was at first. And my roommate was like, oh, my God, isn't that that guy from spring break? And I'm like, no, no way. And it was.

[Host Burt]

That sucks.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Oh, my God.

[Host Burt]

They're great at the time, Gary, but they can come back and totally, totally haunt you. These are vacation ships. You know, standards are just a little different when you're on vacation. Stay on vacation.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Is there anything more awkward? And this is such a college thing, but hooking up with somebody.

[Host Burt]

Hey, Linda, hold on one sec.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Doing the hookup. Like the bar hookup, not the sex hookup. Because there's different, you know, making out with somebody and then you run into them like seven days later, and it's in your mind somewhere that they vaguely look familiar, but they usually.

You don't remember them.

They usually remember.

[Host Burt]

They always say.

[Co-host or Contributor]

And they want to talk to you like, oh, yes. Aren't you. I know you. You are the waitress at the Pizza Hut on campus. No. Okay, how do I know you? Let's keep playing. Oh, you're my cousin. No. Okay, let's play again.

[Host Burt]

Linda, good morning. You're on the birth show. All the hits. Q and A.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

Good morning, guys. I was actually the haunch on a vacation ship when I was in high school. I was going into my senior year and I was on vacation with my family in the Caribbean. This guy was on vacation with his family. We hooked up. Nothing major, but I ended up moving to where he lived. I was from the northeast, he was from the southeast. Moved to where he lived, went to college there. His best friend. My best friend hooked up, was like crazy, psycho in love with him. He ended up deflowering me and basically dumped me and never saw him again.

[Host Burt]

So you specifically went to this college because he was in that town.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

It definitely helped in making that choice.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Wow.

[Host Burt]

Oh, that hurts.

[Co-host or Contributor]

So you were the haunting vacation ship.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

I was.

[Co-host or Contributor]

I was.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

I became a professional stalker. I since now been reformed.

[Host Burt]

Oh, that sucks that you were how old at the time when we met?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

I was 17.

[Host Burt]

And you wouldn't leave him alone. You should have left the vacation ship at the vacation.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

Yeah. Hindsight. 20.

[Host Burt]

Yes. How long ago is this?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

Oh, this is 14. No, 17 years ago.

[Host Burt]

Probably took you about 16 years before you could actually start laughing about it.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

I actually started laughing about it once I graduated. But, like, when I moved, when I was looking for a place to live when I was moving down, I called him and he's like, come pick you up. He left me stranded on the side of the road. And still, you know, I kept coming back more until it, you know, became very clear that he wanted nothing to do with me.

[Host Burt]

I swear, I Wish I had $500 if he called up right now just to give us his side of the whole story.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

He knows he was evil. But the thing, you know, it's that those things, like girls. His friends told me, do not continue to pursue this guy. Because I became friends with his friends. I didn't know anybody in the city where he lives.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

And I was like, no, you know.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 1]

We have A lot of common. And then when my best friend hooked up with his best friend, that was the ticket to, you know, keep us together, keep seeing each other. And it just, you know, just blew up in my face.

[Co-host or Contributor]

You don't know him like I do. I love him and he loves me.

Say that.

[Host Burt]

I think based on what we're hearing here, that your wingman ship, I mean, it has to be said that it's on vacation. And if you want to continue the vacation ship, that's fine, but you can't expect your wingman to continue that for you when you get back home. That's just unfair. Totally and completely invert.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Speaking from personal.

[Host Burt]

Totally. I'm still scarred. Gosh, it was so obnoxious. Awful. Rafael, Good morning. You're on the Burt show. All the hits. Q100.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

Hey, guys. How you doing?

[Host Burt]

What's up?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

Well, my vacation was. It was great. It went down to the Dominican Republic, and I met this girl on the beach, and she was basically one of these. Basically kind of like a Jessica Alba. Like, if you're walking back, like, oh, my God, she's. Oh, well, what happened was we hung out. It was an all inclusive place. And, you know, we were drinking, everything was free. We hung out all the time. Went to the, I guess the discotheque or the club they call down there, and we hung out. And she was like, hey, look, I'm from North Carolina. I live in Wilmington. My cousin lives in Wilmington. And I was like, that's awesome. Like, we can meet when I go back. So I go, I come back home, call my cousin, I go over there and meet him there and tell him about the chicken. We meet at this restaurant over there and come to find out, the girl, she told me on the trip she was 19 and I was 20 at the time. It comes to find out she was 15 years old.

[Host Burt]

You were hooking up with her all week.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

Yeah. Well, okay. No, I didn't get too far. I mean, like, we just, I guess, kind of, like made out and like, stuff like that didn't get too crazy. But the thing was that she. Girls nowadays, I'm sorry, but they lie about their age. It doesn't matter. What. Because they all look like they're 20 years old now. They can be 12. And I'm like, hey, what's up? And they're like, oh, I'm 12. I'm like, oh, I thought you were 18.

[Host Burt]

That's true. I'll give you that. I will give you that.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

And it's kind of frustrating, but the thing that made the worst feeling in the world is that I walked in there and she's with her dad. Oh, no, no. And I'm looking at this, my cousin's like, bro, what are you doing? And I'm like, dude, I have no clue what the heck's going on. So we walk up and he's like, so you were with my daughter in the trip? And I was like, yeah, we, you know, hung out. Great. She says a lot about you. And she was like, so when are you gonna graduate? I'm looking. I'm like, graduate? And he's like, yeah, are you gonna go to. Are you planning to go to school? And basically, I guess she had told his dad that or her dad that I was in high school as well.

[Co-host or Contributor]

And what was she doing with her dad? Were they going over homework or something?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

Yeah, I was like, oh, Lord. So it was a. It was a complete nightmare. And it was basically terrifying because. And I was thinking, because, you know, like the whole thing now with like, Dateline where, like, catching guys, like, being the big perverts now.

[Host Burt]

Right.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

That's the only thing that's crossing my mind. I was like, oh, God, I'm gonna get arrested.

[Host Burt]

This is a totally different conversation for another time, and maybe we'll do it tomorrow. But to take stories just like that from both ends. Like the girl that was 15 that told the 25 year old she was 21 and he still doesn't know. Or in Raphael's case, when she says she's 19 and he finds out later that she's 15. That's a big gap. We could stay on that topic probably for an hour and a half. Good morning, Sarah. You're on the bird show. All the hits. Q100. Hi. Hi.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

This is Sarah. I went on vacation to London with my girlfriend and I met a guy in a bar and he followed me back to the States. I married him, and as soon as he got his green card, he left. He disappeared.

[Host Burt]

So your vacation ship continues here. You guys claim you love each other, you get married, he gets his green card. And how far. How long after that did he take off?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Less than a year. Oh, after the green card?

[Host Burt]

Yeah.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Immediate.

[Co-host or Contributor]

That's it, huh?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 4]

Mm.

[Host Burt]

Like the next day?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Wow. So how long was your vacation ship? And then how long was your whole relationship?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Vacationship was a week. Relationship was less than a year.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Whoa.

[Host Burt]

And the day after he gets his green card. Buh. Bye.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Mm. He was a grenadier guard. You know, one of the guys that guards Buckingham Palace.

[Host Burt]

Right. That's why this. These are great things. That's better.

[Co-host or Contributor]

On vacation, you can trust those Buckingham palace guards. That's what my dad always told me.

[Host Burt]

They just don't translate when you get off a vacation. Hey, Amanda, good morning. You're on the bird show. All the hits. Q100.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Good morning. I love you guys.

[Host Burt]

Thank you.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

I went on a cruise with my family when I was a junior in high school, which was about five years ago, and I met this guy named Daniel. And families went on little excursions offshore and everything. And when the cruise ended, he asked for my phone number and everything. And I said, well, you know, I'll just give you my screen name. So I gave him that. And still to this day, I will sign online and he, he will have sent me a message saying, hey, I might be coming through Atlanta. And this guy lives in California. Five years ago. Yeah, it was about five years ago. And I told him that I have no interest in him. And he still continues to try and pursue it.

[Co-host or Contributor]

In five years. You could be married with a three year old by now.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

I know.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

Yeah, but to him, you are the one that got away.

[Host Burt]

Well, she hasn't got away yet.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

She's not going anywhere.

[Host Burt]

She's stuck.

[Co-host or Contributor]

She's the one that's wiggling but just can't quite move. Make her hand small enough to slip out of the handcuff.

[Host Burt]

Casey, you'll be the last call.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Hi, Good morning. How are you?

[Host Burt]

Good, how are you?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Good. This is actually not something that happened to me. It happened to my brother in law about three years ago. He ended up going on a cruise he wanted cruise through his job and he ended up hooking up with this girl who looked much older than what she was. And they ended up hooking up having a great time for four days. And at the end of the cruise, she tells him that he needs to move to Green Bay, Wisconsin. And he says, you know, I live in Florida. I'm not moving to Green Bay, Wisconsin for you. You know, this is a vacation thing. And she says, well, I'm 17. If you don't move to Green Bay, Wisconsin, I'm gonna file statutory rape against you. I'm dead serious. So he ends up telling us, you know, hey, I met this girl, I just love her, you know, this big long story while he's moving in Green Bay, Wisconsin and ends up moving there. And that ordeal, he was there for eight months and he finally ended up saying, you know what, forget this. You know, do what you got to do. You're 18 now, you know, if you want to put me in jail, fine, go for it, but I'm out of here. Because he couldn't take his car. And obviously it's, like, so cold in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He ended up having to walk to work every day in the snow. And, I mean, he ended up living in her mom's basement for a while. I mean, it was like this horrible nightmare for him.

[Host Burt]

And they met where?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

On a cruise.

[Host Burt]

That's beautiful. Keep the vacation ships on vacation. We have learned that today.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Absolutely.

[Host Burt]

Thank you for calling.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

All right. Thank you.

[Host Burt]

Massey. Annie.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 3]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host Burt]

Massey.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Vacation ship.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

I went to Alaska on a fishing trip with my father and my brothers and got there and met. We were. We were like, in the woods. I mean, camping in the woods. And we had, like. We had a fishing guide, and he was so cute. And I never. I didn't hook up with my family. I didn't hook up with him or anything like that. But when I flew back, got back to Atlanta, he and I wrote letters. We started writing letters for, like, six months. I mean, the guys in the woods, I would send, like, care packages.

[Co-host or Contributor]

What do you mean? Write letters? Like, with a pen?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

Like with a.

[Host Burt]

No, with my blood.

[Co-host or Contributor]

Like on a piece of paper?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

Yes, like pen to paper.

[Co-host or Contributor]

And what did you do? So, like, did you spray perfume on those letters?

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

Took it to the mailbox? No, I did. We just. But it was like really beautiful, romantic love letters written back and forth and, I mean, I never even gotten closer than a handshake to this guy. So he decides he's gonna come visit over Thanksgiving.

[Host Burt]

Oh, good God.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

And it seemed like such a good idea because six months of letter writing, it was this whole room. My grandmother's like, I met your grandfather. And we wrote letters for a year. She's like, you're gonna marry this guy?

[Co-host or Contributor]

And blackberries. Exactly. Well, he flew here and he was gonna stay for two weeks. That's a really long time. Two weeks. And I was doing mornings, and I'd come home from getting up at 3:30 in the morning and he'd be like, on my couch, like, burning one. He had no money whatsoever. I was, like, buying every meal. He flew here, seriously, with nothing. But apparently some pot.

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

Well, I'd say the first three days.

[Host Burt]

[Caller - Vacation Ship Story 2]

No, he stayed the whole two weeks.

[Co-host or Contributor]
