Episode Overview

This episode dives into the realities of dating and relationship dynamics when physical attraction overrides reason. The discussion centers around one bold question to male listeners: “What would you put up with because she’s hot?” The hosts explore why men endure certain behaviors or inconvenience simply because they’re enamored with a partner’s looks, featuring confessions from callers and self-deprecating stories from the cast themselves.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Why Men Tolerate More from Attractive Partners

• Host Bird sets the stage by pointing out the gender split in radio honesty:

  “You ask women for honesty. Phone lines light up. You ask guys for honesty. They're like, I'm not calling my radio station. I'm not going to call myself out.” (01:33)

• Bird shares that men often stick it out “for bragging rights around your friends,” admitting these relationships don’t last but are validating in the short-term.

2. Caller Confession 1: Andrew’s Story

• Andrew admits he concedes to his fiancée’s demands, which include moving into a larger, more expensive place with amenities she insists on, even if temporary.
• He reflects:

  “If this was anybody else, I would never do this. But you were... she wasn't so hot.” (03:24)

• Despite being labeled a “pushover” by his friends, Andrew shrugs it off:

  “They're all like, dude, you know, you're such a, you know, pushover... but they're all like, I do the same thing.” (04:00)

3. The Cycle of Male Peer Support and Disillusionment

• Bird and Bert note that at first, friends encourage the tolerance (“Dude, look how hot she is... shake it up and put up with it,” (04:12)), but “they break with you” as frustrations accumulate.

4. Host Bert’s Amusing Story of Self-Sacrifice

• Bert recounts allowing a date to stop for a professional blowout after a theme park ride, something he never would have done otherwise:

  “I probably went window shopping while she went in there and did that. And I'm like, what was I thinking?... But with her, I was like, yeah. No problem.” (05:13–05:42)

• The hosts laugh at the absurdity of forsaking one’s principles when attraction is high.

5. Caller Confession 2: Josh’s Early Morning Pick-Ups

• Josh repeatedly retrieves his girlfriend from late-night bar shifts, even though it cuts into his sleep before a 6 AM job:

  “4, 4:30 rolls around, I'm getting a phone call, ‘hey, can you come pick me up?’... If you weren't... it always gets aggravating... but she's so hot.” (06:19–07:03)

• Josh admits he makes excuses to coworkers (“Oh well, you know, I have a headache or... I didn’t sleep good...” (07:21)) to avoid telling them the real reason for his exhaustion.

6. The Psychological Underpinnings

• The hosts and callers agree that the dynamic is less about true feelings and more about self-image and “bragging rights.”

  “It's not the way that you feel about her, but it's the way she makes you feel. It's not even... you make you feel like crap.” (08:07)

• Bert explains the mental cycle: men get angry by the inconvenience, but it vanishes as soon as they’re reminded how attractive their partner is.

7. Caller Confession 3: David’s "Deal Breaker"

• David describes shaving his pubic hair on request (“I gave it up for the team there, buddy.” (10:27)) because his girlfriend was so hot. The breaking point came, however, when she called him late at night from a bar, “three guys hanging off her.”

  “That was the deal breaker there. I can only go so...” (11:32)

[Host (Bird)]

The Bird show so far, only one guy willing to be totally honest. You ask women for honesty. Phone lines light up. You ask guys for honesty. They're like, I'm not calling my radio station. I'm not going to call myself out. But the truth of the matter is, if you're a guy and you're single, there have been times where you have been in a relationship with a woman. You know it's never going to work out, but she's so hot and it's like bragging rights around your friend that she will put you through the wringer and you don't care because she's just so hot. It's gonna it's not gonna last forever. Eventually you're gonna get sick of it. But until then, it's really nice to have her on your arm. That's just the way it is. That's how guys work. Andrew's one of these guys. Hey, Andrew.

[Caller Andrew]

Hey. How's it going?

[Host (Bird)]

What's up, man?

[Caller Andrew]

Well, just driving to work in this crappy weather like y' all been talking about.

[Host (Bird)]

Boy, it's really bad for y' all this morning, huh?

[Caller Andrew]

Oh, man, I'm in South Georgia going to Griffin right now, and it's crap.

[Host (Bird)]

Sorry. Thanks for calling, though.

[Caller Andrew]

Ain't no problem. I mean, I got. I gotta be honest. I mean, I don't care if I'm the only caller or what, but every other guy out there is probably doing the same thing right now or it's been in the same position.

[Host (Bird)]

I know, man. What is she. What kind of hoops does she make you go through?

[Caller Andrew]

Well, you know, I'm one of those guys who, you know, it's probably like your friend down in. In Florida there who, you know, thinks he can put up to, you know, put up to the woman and step up to the plate and say, I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do. But in the end, I mean, you know where you're going for that. You know, for that loving. And she's gonna, you know, she's just too high. I can't say no.

[Host (Bird)]

So you. Now, is this gonna last forever? Is this a woman you want to be with? Are you just, like, riding it out until it's over?

[Caller Andrew]

Well, you know, we're engaged right now. And I, you know, she's a. She's the best woman I've ever been with, and I love her to death. And, you know, despite the fact that I gotta, you know, suck it up sometimes and say yes to her, you know, I don't mind it because I know I'm in a better place. And so a lot of my friends, really. So I want to.

[Host (Bird)]

I want a specific situation where you.

[Co-host (Bert)]

In your mind knew.

[Caller Andrew]

You know, what? If I. If this was anybody else, I would never do this. But you were.

[Host (Bird)]

She wasn't so high.

[Caller Andrew]

Yeah, well, I'll give you the situation right now is that, you know, I just started a new job down here in Atlanta, and, you know, I had to move into a new place. And I was just thinking about something temporary until we got married, and after that, we'd move into something bigger. But she's like, no, no, we gotta do that. We gotta do it right now. I Want my own bathroom. I want, I want two bedrooms. I want this, I want that. And I'm just going, hun, you know, honey, we don't need that right now. You know, I'm only gonna be here for a couple of months and then after that we'll move once we get married. And yeah, that definitely didn't stand with her.

[Co-host (Bert)]

She's not having it.

[Host (Bird)]

And she's so hot that you don't even really put up a big fight.

[Caller Andrew]

Exactly. I mean, my friends are all the same way. I mean, they're all like, dude, you know, you're such a, you know, pushover. You're such a, you know, you got no balls and that kind of stuff. But they're all like, I do the same thing.

[Host (Bird)]

For a while there, when you tell your guys, like, when the relationship is new, if she is really that hot, if you start to tell your guys what's going on in the relationship and how it's getting crappy, they'll be like, shut up. I mean, shut up. Look how hot she is. Yeah, just shake it up and put up with it, dude.

[Caller Andrew]

But then after a while, exactly like that. In the beginning, I mean, all the guys were like, oh, dude, man, whatever. Hey, if she wants to eat chicken instead of steak, hey, man, no problem. You know, go out and get a bottle of Franzi or whatever.

[Host (Bird)]

But they break with you. Your friends break the same time you do I.

[Caller Andrew]

Exactly.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Jessica would tell this story better than I can. But there was this girl when Jessica and I were just friends, when I lived in Arizona, first moved there, Jessica and I were friends. And there was this girl that, for whatever reason, her name was Jody and I was into her. And looking back on it, she wasn't even that hot. But at the time I thought she was it. And we went on one of those radio broadcast trips to the Disney World in California and she. Or Disneyland, I guess. And she came along and we went on the water slide. What's it called? Thunder Mountain? No, that's a roller.

[Prolon Advertiser]

Splash Mountain.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Splash Mountain, right, the Disneyland version of that. And on the way back to the hotel, she passed a hairdresser and said, hey, could I run in there and get my hair blown out and set? Uh, and I said, no problem.

[Host (Bird)]

Of course not. She's hot.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Pulled the rental car over. I probably went window shopping while she went in there and did that. And I'm like, what was I thinking? Your hair got a little wet on it. Like, I don't date women like that. But with her, I was like, yeah.

[Host (Bird)]

No, Problem will sacrifice every ounce of who you are. If she's that hot, I mean every fiber in your body.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Sure, yeah, I think it's cool that we go to an amusement park. Then you have to have your hair professionally done. That's cool. No, that's how hot you are. That's why, that's why I love you, because you're so hot when you get your hair done. Money wasting, bitch.

[Host (Bird)]

Hey John, what's going on? John?

[Caller Josh]

Hey, good morning. What's going on?

[Host (Bird)]

You're here too, huh?

[Caller Josh]

What's that?

[Host (Bird)]

You're here too. She's so hot. You'll just be. You're willing to put up with anything, man.

[Caller Josh]

I tell you what, sometimes you just have to kind of suck it up.

[Caller Andrew]

And take one from the team, right?

[Caller Josh]

So my girlfriend now she's a bartender and so you know, she normally gives off about one o' clock and it's always, oh well, you know, I'll be home like around 1:32, somewhere around in there. Well, 4, 4:30 rolls around, I'm getting a phone call, hey, can you come pick me up? You know, she had a, she had a couple of extras at the Bottom bar and stuff like that. And I normally have to be at work at 6 o' clock in the morning, so I'm normally in bed no, you know, no later than midnight. So of course she comes up and she's all half snocker and all that kind of stuff and it's just like, you know, if you weren't, you know, it always gets aggravating because almost like clockwork. I know at least every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I want to get up at 4:30 in the morning and go bigger but up.

[Host (Bird)]

But she's so hot.

[Caller Josh]

Yep. You know, like I said, you've got to suck it up. Take one for the team.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Now when you're at work the next day and you're half dragging and you're, you know, taking a nap during your lunch rather than going out with everybody, do they all like, are they like, okay, we get it or are they at the point where they're telling you, come on dude?

[Caller Josh]

Actually, actually I try to play it off. I kind of, oh well, you know, I have a headache or you know, I didn't sleep good last night or something like that, you know, because I feel sure that if I tell them exactly what's going on they're going to be like, get out.

[Host (Bird)]

Yeah, you start to break. But I mean you can ride it out for a long time depending on how hot she is. And there's. I'm sure that one of these government studies should probably come out that will make. There will be a direct correlation of the time you will spend in the relationship to how hot she is.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Until your breaking point.

[Host (Bird)]

Until your breaking point. Yeah.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Do you guys do that? Because hot girls make you feel better about yourself.

[Host (Bird)]

You just know. It's, you know, it's like great bragging rights. It's like, yeah, you feel better about yourself. You've got one up on your friends. She's hot.

[Caller Andrew]

Just hot.

[Host (Bird)]

Just gonna take any kind of crap you want. Cause you're hot.

[Co-host (Bert)]

It's not the way that you feel about her, but it's the way she makes you feel. It's not even something you make you feel like crap. Yeah.

[Host (Bird)]

It's like publicly you look great while she's on your own.

[Co-host (Bert)]

It's not a conscious.

[Host (Bird)]

Your reputation is improved.

[Co-host (Bert)]

It's not a conscious equation where it's like, oh, she's so hot. So I'm gonna put up with this. It's like, like Bert said earlier when he was talking about Kevin, guys have like the short term memory thing going. So here's the deal. Like, she. She calls him up at 2 in the morning to come pick him up at the bar. Pick her up at the bar. You know the last guy we were talking to? So he gets out of bed and he's all mad and he's like, what the hell? It's two in the morning. Why can't you take a taxi? This is crap. And then he drives to the bar and she still looks good even though she's half drunk and she's been working for six hours. And he completely forgets that he was mad. He's like, you're pretty. Yeah. So then she gets in the car and they go home. He wakes up the next morning, alarm goes off. And the next. The whole day at work he's dragging. He's like, what the hell? I am never going to pick her up at 2. She can get a ride with somebody that she works with. This was crap. And then she goes home and you're pretty.

[Host (Bird)]

This wash of calm comes over you when she walks through the doors. Like, damn, that's mine. You can do anything you want right now. Hey, Josh. Good morning. You're on the Burt Show.

[Caller Josh]

Hey, what's going on?

[Host (Bird)]

You're there too, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, tell us about it. Oh, yeah, Josh is a good example. He's probably miserable on the inside 23 hours out of the day, but the one hour he gets to hang with her and look at her. He's like in heaven.

[Caller Josh]

Right?

[Caller Andrew]

Is that where you're at somewhere?

[Caller Josh]

Not to that extent quite, but pretty.

[Host (Bird)]

Much catering to her every need.

[Caller Josh]

Oh yeah. I mean, whatever she needs, you know.

[Caller Andrew]

It'S like I'm there for. I'm always doing it.

[Caller Josh]

But then when I'm trying to get something, you know, it's always like pulling teeth.

[Host (Bird)]

What celebrity does she most look like?

[Caller Josh]

Oh, goodness. Tara Reid.

[Host (Bird)]

Yeah. Man, you do a lot for Tara Read for a while. Yeah, a lot for Terry for a while. Maybe former terror, right?

[Co-host (Bert)]

Terror read when she was hot. Sober Terror read. Right.

[Host (Bird)]

I applaud you, Josh. Ride it out. But. But it's like a wave, man. Eventually it's gonna crash around you, but ride it while it's good, bud. David, the girl that you're going out with is so hot. So hot. You sacrificed what?

[Caller Andrew]

Oh, she come in one evening and said, honey, I need for you to do something. And I said, what? And she whipped out some shaving cream and a razor. And I go, what's this for? And she goes, you need to shave down there. I was like, okay. So I, I gave it up for the team there, buddy.

[Host (Bird)]

Of course you did. Of course you did.

[Caller Andrew]

She was hot, I'm telling you.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Did you, did you do it like in the shape of a little playboy bunny or a heart? No, she.

[Caller Andrew]

All the way.

[Host (Bird)]

All the way. Really?

[Caller Andrew]

All the way.

[Co-host (Bert)]

So wait, did she make you shave her or were you manscaping?

[Caller Andrew]

Manscaping.

[Host (Bird)]

Yeah. So he shaved everything down there bald.

[Caller Andrew]

You still with her? No. The real deal breaker is when she calls me at 2 o' clock in the morning. She's at a bar, totally plastered and three guys are hanging off of her. And I was like, eh, I'm done.

[Host (Bird)]

Yeah, that'd do it.

[Caller Andrew]

That was the deal breaker there. You know, I can only go so.

[Co-host (Bert)]

Far if we get to bright side. There's three more well groomed men in Atlanta.

[Host (Bird)]

The vert show.
