Get it the bird show the

0:02

talent the creativity is Three-dimensional

0:06

this morning on the bird show not only doing

0:09

a radio show But

0:11

also creating I was gonna say

0:13

beautiful art, but it's not This

0:16

show is really getting in the way of my painting So

0:20

I can focus on my masterpiece that is

0:22

Abby's face I'd really appreciate it So there's

0:24

been a viral trend and it's

0:26

it's turned into like a date night for

0:28

couples so a couple

0:31

sits across from each other and they

0:34

have a canvas with a mini easel

0:36

and Paints and they are painting

0:38

each other's likeness So she

0:40

will paint a picture of him or her

0:42

and vice versa and you sit there and

0:45

you have a glass or two or

0:47

ten of wine and then you unveil

0:49

the portrait of your significant other and

0:52

The reactions have been stellar and I

0:54

put I was cracking up at the

0:57

reactions mostly the women Weezing at how

0:59

horrible this is So

1:01

I was like I shared it to my insta store and

1:03

I go I really think the birth show should do this

1:05

and everybody was like Absolutely.

1:08

So right now throughout since the beginning of

1:10

the show. I've been painting Abby Abby's

1:12

been painting me like one of Jack's French girls And

1:15

then mo is painting Bert and Bert is painting

1:17

a mo because that's who's like directly across. Yeah

1:20

Go ahead. I've even got you in the nude like one of my

1:22

French girls as well Why am I

1:24

wearing that giant blue diamond? Yes your night you're

1:27

sprawled across the nice shade lounge here I

1:30

am trying to paint Moe's

1:32

face with his headphones on

1:34

but it this point it's

1:36

looking like Princess Leia Why

1:43

mo was giving Mo

1:46

gives a lot of things he's not giving white

1:48

woman I Just

1:51

so we get kind of a halfway point Reaction

1:54

all of you to close your eyes

1:56

and I want all you to hold

1:58

up your paintings to me And he

2:00

just did you really just drop the f-bomb

2:02

on the radio? Wow. I

2:07

don't know if it was reaction to

2:09

what she dropped or if she actually

2:11

saw your picture, Burt. I'm

2:14

sorry. I just got paint all over

2:16

me. Oh no, in your mouth? No.

2:19

No. I'm just gagging the fact

2:21

that I just cursed on National Race. Yeah,

2:25

most of the time we have to dump it. It's not

2:27

for you guys calling in. It's for people on the show.

2:30

Mo, you're going to be highly insulted. Abby,

2:32

I would say, has the, wow, Kristen. Kristen

2:38

and Abby are the most artistic, I would say.

2:40

Yeah, I hope it was worthy because I'm pretty

2:42

sure Burt and that relationship was done. It's

2:44

not a good show. It would never be the same. Still

2:46

got two hours to clean this thing up. You

2:49

guys did. Still got two hours. All right,

2:51

so the debate, Mo, on is this

2:53

in the moment? What? This

2:56

was going on? A viral post that I saw

2:58

in which it started to pick up some traction

3:00

because of a lot of the back and forth

3:02

that was happening in the comments. But

3:05

it was a Twitter

3:07

user named useccnandy. And

3:09

she tweeted that a man

3:11

will put his happiness aside for his

3:14

woman, but a woman will

3:16

put her man aside for her

3:18

happiness. And she said harsh, but

3:21

a sad reality. It

3:23

basically is saying a man will sacrifice

3:26

his happiness to be with a woman, whereas

3:29

instead of a woman doing the same, she's

3:31

going to sacrifice her man in order to

3:33

find happiness. Well, good for you guys. Good for

3:35

women. I

3:37

want to teach you our

3:39

way. In

3:42

my world, I have found this to be true. So

3:44

that's what kind of shocked me is when I went into

3:46

the comments, which is what I always do first to see

3:48

how people feel about it. I thought

3:50

I would see a lot of women disagreeing

3:52

with it, saying, oh, that's not necessarily true.

3:55

But there were a lot of women who completely agree.

3:57

Like there was one woman who said, I do believe.

4:00

a lot of men will stay where they aren't

4:02

happy because they feel it's the right thing

4:04

to do, whereas men won't typically

4:06

put their self first and realize that their

4:08

happiness matters. A woman is usually a little

4:11

quicker to feel like her happiness

4:13

matters and if she is not happy, she'll leave

4:15

first. That's why it's a known fact that a

4:17

lot of the women will initiate the divorce. When

4:19

you look at the divorce rates, it usually comes

4:21

from women. Men tend to stick it out, but

4:23

there were also women saying on a flip side

4:25

of that, when men tend to

4:27

be unhappy, they'll take it out on

4:29

women a lot, whereas it's cheating or

4:31

it's abusive. When women tend to be

4:33

unhappy, they'll kind of just more so

4:35

hold it down and not really allow

4:37

it to come out. So there is

4:40

two sides to the coin, but most of

4:42

the women did agree that typically a woman

4:44

will leave a relationship that she's unhappy in

4:46

before a man would. What do you think,

4:48

Gabby? I wonder if it's just because men

4:51

need women in a way that women don't

4:53

need men and I don't mean that to

4:55

be like snarky in the sense that men

4:57

need women, but when I

4:59

hear you talk about some of your

5:02

married friends, I wonder sometimes why they

5:04

stay because they don't seem like the

5:06

relationship is a benefit to them, whereas

5:08

I'm always the first person to bounce

5:11

if I feel like this isn't something

5:13

that's going to enrich my life and

5:15

make either of us better. I can say

5:17

that in my world, outside of the psychological

5:19

stuff I've had to deal with and the

5:21

reason why I stay in relationships too long,

5:23

but another part of that is a sense

5:26

of duty. Like I committed

5:28

to this thing, so I am

5:31

going to be absolutely miserable until

5:33

I leave and I've learned that

5:35

you don't have to do that, but it's a sense

5:37

of duty. At least it always has been for me.

5:39

The majority of the comments were men saying that, that

5:41

they just stay because they feel like it's the right

5:43

thing to do and when I do speak to my

5:45

married friends, a lot of it is that even if

5:47

they're unhappy, they feel like they made a commitment. I'm

5:49

in this because I said I would be a lot

5:51

of men that are raised in good homes are raised to be

5:53

a man of your word that means something when you tell somebody

5:56

you're going to do something, you should do it and

5:58

I think a lot of men have that mindset of even if I'm

6:00

unhappy, happiness, I owe it to my family more than I

6:02

owe it to myself. I also think

6:04

you have a duty and a personal responsibility to

6:06

take charge of your own happiness though. So if

6:08

you're in a marriage, I think it's incredibly, I

6:10

think the fact that you have that integrity is

6:13

incredible. The fact that you want to stick to

6:15

your commitment that you're going to stand by your

6:17

woman, but at the same time you got into

6:19

it assuming that you're going to have some kind

6:21

of happiness in this relationship. I hope, I hope

6:23

that's why you decided to get married. And so

6:26

I think at some point you've got to take

6:28

responsibility for that and figure out if I'm not

6:30

happy in this relationship. Why? And

6:32

then what can I do about it? So this duty doesn't feel

6:34

like a chore. And you also have to say,

6:36

I mean, if you're a dude and you're sticking

6:38

it out because you're feeling this sense of duty,

6:40

but when she's not around, you're doing things that

6:43

are so super shady, but you're giving yourself some

6:45

credit because you're still in the relationship and you're

6:47

doing it out of duty. No,

6:49

it don't work like that. You know what I'm saying?

6:51

You've said duty so many times. You're so happy right

6:54

now. I'm getting duty. Get it, the virtue. All right,

6:56

let's get Ashley on here. She's

7:00

confused, man. Whenever you get ghosted, of course there's

7:02

some confusion. I always say at the end of

7:04

the day, doesn't matter. He's telling you everything you

7:06

need to know. He's not interested. So why

7:08

do you even want to know why he

7:10

ghosted you? But in this case, it's a

7:12

little bit different because they were sweet high

7:15

school sweethearts that kind of rekindled thing. And

7:17

then he goes away. Hey, Ashley.

7:19

Good morning. Good morning. Good

7:21

morning. Okay. And here's what

7:23

got us here. Well,

7:27

I started seeing my high school

7:30

sweetheart again after 10 years. We

7:33

ran into each other at a friend's

7:36

wedding and it just felt so kiss-met.

7:39

I thought, oh my god, we're seeing

7:41

each other again. This

7:43

has to be what I've

7:46

always wanted it to be, you know? And

7:48

we were seeing each

7:50

other for about five months. We were

7:52

together. And

7:54

then, you know, he stayed

7:57

over one night and I never heard back

7:59

from him. again and I just want to

8:01

know why he ghosted me. I want to

8:04

know why he's not responding to any of

8:06

my texts or my calls and

8:09

you know if he's still trying to

8:11

be the scumbag he was in high

8:13

school. Oh wow. Wow okay um

8:16

it sure sounds obvious to me as a

8:18

dude, Mo. Uh well

8:20

for five months that's the the weird

8:22

part of you. You're all together for

8:25

five months right? Right. And so

8:27

for who? I was saying that

8:29

things have changed and he was

8:31

different. That's the part that

8:33

that's weird to me because if it was less than

8:35

five months then I think it would be an open

8:37

shut case. We would know what time it is with

8:39

this but for five months then to have been around

8:41

and then just up and suddenly decide this

8:43

isn't what I want anymore in that way. I don't

8:47

know what caused them to leave. Something is not right.

8:49

Yeah and Ashley I mean Tommy reached out to him.

8:51

We have some answers for you here in a couple

8:53

of minutes so we don't have to guess too much

8:55

but you have any ideas? Ashley you said that you

8:58

hooked up the night of the wedding and

9:00

then for five months you guys were together

9:02

after that. So what was your understanding of

9:04

the relationship? Were you guys trying to make

9:06

it work from a more serious standpoint or

9:08

did you just assume that oh because we're

9:11

hanging out we're hooking up we're gonna date

9:13

again? No no

9:16

not at all. He was saying that he

9:18

messed up that he's missed me and that

9:20

he thought about me during the course of the

9:22

10 years and I thought oh

9:24

wow okay it feels different and

9:28

you know we were talking about the future and

9:30

so I mean I knew we were hooking up

9:32

and I knew that there was still a chance

9:34

that things could go a different

9:36

direction because it was still fairly new but

9:39

I mean it was going fine so

9:41

I'm really lost. And I'm sure you

9:44

have gone over that last day and

9:46

night over and over in your head

9:48

and the night that he left

9:50

in the middle of the night and you never heard from

9:52

him again. There's nothing

9:54

that stands out to you? No but

9:58

I mean I'm thinking like was it an another woman,

10:00

like what's going on? And I just want

10:02

to know. Yeah, the

10:04

getting up and leaving in the middle of

10:06

the night is a really harsh thing for

10:09

five months. Yeah, it is. That usually happens

10:11

on a one night stand when you hook

10:13

up and you wake up before she does

10:15

and you're like, oh, that's not what I

10:17

remember her to look like a couple hours

10:19

ago. You gotta go. I mean, at

10:21

least Berger left a post-it note for Kerry. That's

10:24

right. You know what I mean? I don't know which is right.

10:26

I'm sorry, I can't, please forgive me. All right. I'm in

10:28

the middle of the night, but he left a post-it on

10:31

her laptop. It feels like in a case like that,

10:34

he either something either disgusted him so

10:36

much that he had to immediately get

10:38

out of there or he had an

10:40

obligation somewhere else that maybe he had to tend

10:42

to quickly. When you guys broke

10:44

up the first time, what was the reason? I mean, I

10:46

know it was in high school, but like was he also

10:48

very shady kind of like this back then? I

10:52

mean, you know, the

10:55

ladies liked him. But it

10:59

was really indecisive and we were just talking

11:01

about going to different colleges. And

11:03

so, you know, it

11:05

was probably bound to happen at that point, but

11:07

yeah, there was a little shadiness. I mean, we're

11:09

young, we're 17, 18 or so, but

11:12

now, you know, we're a

11:14

little more mature and I just thought things

11:16

are different, right? All right, so I reached

11:18

out to him yesterday. We're gonna call him

11:21

Jonathan. And the

11:23

reason that he left in the middle of

11:25

the night has something to do with him

11:28

being embarrassed about

11:30

something. I want Bert Christamoe,

11:33

Abby, I want you to guess what

11:36

you think he's embarrassed about, why

11:38

he left. And ultimately,

11:40

this is why he ghosted her because he's

11:42

so embarrassed about it. Were you guys drinking?

11:48

Yeah, yeah, we had gone out for a

11:50

few drinks. So you're thinking of whiskey tea? Mm-hmm. Was

11:53

he able to perform that night? No!

11:58

Did he? No! Win

12:00

a winner chicken dinner. Alright. We'll see.

12:03

She got no dinner. One out of

12:05

the game. Had no chicken. He was

12:07

very hungry that night and very unsatiated

12:09

and unsatisfied. That man got out

12:12

of the head quick as he could. Alright, so

12:14

we're all assuming that he was so incredibly embarrassed

12:16

after five months that he took off in the

12:18

middle of the night. Let's see if that's true

12:20

or not because like Tommy said, he reached out

12:22

to this guy. This is a personal closure call.

12:24

We'll give you your closure here in just a

12:26

couple of minutes, okay? Got

12:29

it. The bird

12:31

show. Getting ghosted sucks.

12:34

We have a platform on this

12:36

show. There is absolutely no need

12:38

for it at all. Leaving the

12:40

other person hanging. It's just

12:42

real. It's kind of a cruel thing to do. All you got

12:44

to do is send a text these days just saying, hey,

12:46

not feeling it. That's it. So at

12:48

least I know that this isn't going anywhere, right?

12:51

So in this case, though, we had Ashley on

12:53

and she's going out with this dude for like

12:55

five months. Things seem to be going fine. She

12:57

spends the night at her house and

13:00

then right after that completely ghost her. He

13:02

woke up in the middle of the night

13:04

and just took off and

13:06

ghosted her with no reason at all. We

13:09

were just questioning her a couple of minutes

13:11

ago and we found out

13:13

that they went out drinking. They

13:15

went back to her place. Dude

13:17

couldn't perform the way that he wanted to.

13:20

We're thinking maybe he got embarrassed, took off

13:22

and is too embarrassed to text her and

13:24

say anything about it. That's our

13:26

assumption. We don't know that aspect.

13:28

Hey, Ashley. Hi. Hey,

13:31

all right. I'm going to turn this one now

13:33

over to our show director, Tommy, who is the

13:35

one that reached out to your, I

13:37

guess we can call him an ex. We don't know just

13:39

yet to find out exactly what happened that night. Okay.

13:43

Okay. Yeah, you can call him

13:45

an ex and to answer your

13:48

guess, it was not whiskey B.

13:50

Not at all. Bourbon.

13:53

It did involve him being embarrassed. So

13:55

I reached out to Ashley's ex via

13:58

text. We'll call him Jonathan. I

14:00

explained who we are, what we're doing, and

14:03

if he'd be willing to give Ashley

14:06

some clarity on what happened to cause

14:08

him to ghost her. And

14:11

his initial response was, I don't really

14:13

understand, what does she want to know

14:15

and why are you the one asking

14:17

me? Valid question.

14:19

Very valid, valid, valid question. That's fair. Well,

14:22

I mean- I'll call them on that. Well, we

14:24

can answer the first one because you aren't returning your text, so

14:26

somebody asked you. Yeah, I said, well, she's been trying to reach

14:28

out to you. She's kind of confused about what happened between

14:30

you two. She says that you just left in the

14:32

middle of the night and ghosted her. She's

14:35

tried texting you, but has no idea why you took

14:37

off. And he said, I guess I just wanted to

14:39

go back to my own place. I felt like he

14:42

was just trying to blow me off there. And

14:44

I said, well, she thought it was odd that you just left in

14:46

the middle of the night. Then

14:49

you wouldn't find her after that, so she

14:51

just stopped trying, but it's been really bugging

14:53

her and she wants to know what happened.

14:56

Since you won't respond to her, she contacted us

14:58

because we do these kinds of things as a segment

15:00

on our show. And he said,

15:02

look, man, I don't really want to

15:04

get into it. And I

15:06

said, I didn't give up. I said, I get

15:09

it, but she's really hurt and

15:11

I think she deserves some closure, you

15:13

know? And he said,

15:15

just reassure her that it really wasn't

15:17

her. It was me. Oh,

15:19

come on, bro. And I wasn't

15:21

giving up on that either. I said,

15:24

I could tell her that, but that's pretty cliche.

15:26

I said, I'm not sure she believed

15:29

that and it still doesn't answer her

15:31

question. If it was you

15:33

and not her, then what was it about you?

15:36

And I wrote you in capital letters, so he

15:38

knew I meant business. And

15:41

then he responded, I don't really know what

15:44

that I want to air my dirty laundry on

15:46

a radio show. It's kind of

15:48

embarrassing. And I said, look,

15:50

if it makes you feel better, we use fake names. Nobody

15:53

knows who either of you really are. In fact,

15:55

I'm the only person even associated with our show

15:58

that even knows your real names. So

16:00

then it took some himming and hawing from

16:02

back and forth for me to convince him

16:05

So I'm gonna jump to the part

16:07

where he's finally willing to admit what

16:09

happened I can't believe he hasn't blocked you at this point. All

16:12

right, and he said seriously,

16:14

it's really embarrassing Yes,

16:17

I know I handled it the wrong way.

16:19

However, even in retrospect. I'm not sure what

16:21

I should have done I don't

16:24

know what anyone else would have done

16:26

and I said, well now I'm

16:28

really intrigued I promise no

16:31

judgment and he said well

16:33

first you need to know that I'm

16:35

normally a Really deep

16:37

sleeper and I said, okay And

16:40

he said I often do things in my sleep

16:42

and not even realize it sometimes I don't ever

16:45

know unless someone tells me or in

16:47

some rare cases. I wake up while

16:49

I'm doing them I have been

16:52

I went through a cycle where I did

16:54

that also really where you are living out

16:56

in your dreams in real life What's happening?

16:58

Um, I fell asleep on Washington subway

17:02

DC subway and I was playing

17:04

baseball in my dream and I had chewing tobacco in

17:06

I'm spitting in my dream And

17:09

I wake up on the subway covered in my

17:11

own Where

17:14

do you So

17:17

he tells me that and I say like talking

17:19

in your sleep and he said

17:21

that yes But other things and I said

17:23

like what? Did something

17:25

happen the night you left in the middle of the

17:27

night actually didn't tell us

17:29

about anything She specifically said she has

17:31

no idea And

17:34

he said I really can't believe she

17:36

doesn't know And

17:38

I said she said you she just woke

17:40

up and you were gone. So

17:43

how would she know? What did you do? He

17:45

said well, I have

17:47

an issue with sleepwalking sometimes on

17:50

now and I said, okay

17:52

I was like that That's

17:54

not bad. And he said no

17:57

not that bad until you're dead asleep and

17:59

dreaming back that you're in the bathroom." And

18:02

I said, okay. And

18:05

he said, only you aren't in the bathroom. You're

18:08

standing in front of the linen closet with the

18:10

door open. And

18:12

I said, okay. And

18:15

then he said it. He said, I woke

18:18

up mid-P, freaked out

18:20

and just bolted. I

18:22

was so humiliated, man. I didn't know how

18:24

to face her after that. And

18:27

I said, wait, you woke up

18:29

while peeing in the linen closet? I had

18:31

a roommate that used to do this, man.

18:34

And he said, yep. And

18:36

I said, like, you'd literally pee on

18:39

our towels and stuff. And

18:41

he said, repeating it doesn't make it less

18:43

embarrassing. I said, dude, I'm

18:45

sorry. He

18:49

said, so I panicked, didn't know what to do.

18:51

So I just left and was too embarrassed to

18:54

talk to her again. I don't know how she

18:56

didn't know. And I said, I don't

18:59

know how she didn't, but I'm not sure I would

19:01

have done anything differently if I'd been in your shoes.

19:03

And he said, hi. Well, not sure that makes

19:06

me feel better, but thanks. And

19:08

I said, so if I tell her and she can

19:10

overlook that and still wants to hang out, would you

19:12

be open to that? And he said,

19:14

I highly doubt she would want to, but

19:16

maybe either way. I said,

19:18

either way, I definitely think that this

19:20

gives her some closure. And he said,

19:22

good, I guess. First

19:24

of all, actually, did you even know any of this happened? I

19:29

am mortified. I

19:31

thought it was my pug. Oh,

19:34

that explains it. Okay.

19:38

So you're reprimanding the dog. It

19:40

was a dude that took off. Wow.

19:43

Okay. So now knowing that, I mean, this

19:45

is five months in. If it was like

19:47

the first night or second night, I could

19:49

understand it, but I'm not bailing after five

19:52

months on something. It's really embarrassing, but I

19:54

would also hope the girl that I'm seeing

19:56

could laugh about it. Yeah, for

19:58

sure. Whiskey

20:00

D too. So if you did both of those,

20:02

you know. Oh that's right. Oh my goodness. I

20:06

forgot about that. That

20:08

was both of them. For

20:10

dude. Not about whether or

20:12

not she wants to take him back. He's already like changed his name and

20:14

moved him into the country. The

20:18

Bird Show. Alright, I just want to, I

20:20

guess, give a trigger warning out now. Like if you've

20:22

ever lost a dog before, this could be kind of

20:24

painful. Ma'am,

20:26

I've been trying to figure out, and there's

20:28

a reason why I'm asking this question.

20:31

Over the last couple of

20:33

days, if it's worse, to

20:36

watch a dog deteriorate, then

20:38

have it pass away on you. Or have it

20:41

happen suddenly where you don't really have

20:45

time to prepare for it. I'm

20:48

not sure which is the better of those scenarios

20:50

right there. I've gone through it

20:52

both ways, and they both suck just for different purposes. Yeah,

20:55

at least with my last English Bulldog, Riggins,

20:57

he had cancer. And I think you emotionally

20:59

and mentally prepare for something like that while

21:01

you're trying to take care of them. You

21:03

know, they're starting to lose weight. You can

21:05

see they're not going to be around real

21:07

long. And then you start to pay

21:09

attention when like, okay, maybe it's time for me to

21:11

make the call on this. I'm

21:14

not sure which one is worse, but our

21:16

family dog, and I say our family dog, because I'll

21:19

give you a history here in just one second. Passed

21:22

away out of nowhere the other

21:24

day, absolutely out of nowhere. Years

21:28

ago, when Stacy and I

21:30

were married, she won a

21:32

dog in a charity auction, Paulie, that

21:35

has been in our family for 12

21:37

years now. And this

21:39

is one of the dogs that I've been watching for

21:41

her when she goes out of town that I've been

21:43

house-sitting for. And I mean, he grew up with all

21:45

of us, right? It was really a

21:47

dog for Hollis, our now 16-year-old. We

21:50

got it for him when he was five. And Stacy

21:52

was smart enough to hire a photographer for

21:54

the day, so when we surprised Hollis with

21:56

this little cute little puppy, Paulie, we

21:59

have all the pictures. He was so happy that

22:01

day, so it really he's grown up with this

22:03

dog So

22:06

he was at a church camp over the

22:08

weekend and Hollis was not

22:10

the dog, right? You

22:13

don't send your dogs to church camp So

22:17

Hollis was at church camp and Stacy

22:19

was dropping our oldest off in Savannah

22:21

at SCAD and didn't have anywhere to

22:23

leave the dogs So she

22:25

brought the dogs with them. Not a big deal. They've gone

22:27

on this trip before right there are two dogs So

22:30

they drive down to Savannah She

22:32

helps Hayden out get all of

22:35

his stuff in his apartment and then on

22:37

the way back same day They're

22:40

driving back and she

22:42

hears Polly Panting

22:45

and then a light cough Then

22:48

he was gone In

22:50

the back of the car just like that and you said that

22:52

she had just taken him to the vet and he had a clean

22:54

Bill of health weeks ago. I mean this dog has been

22:56

over at my house many many times Shared

22:59

him on Instagram. He's like the most energetic

23:01

12 year old dog you'd ever meet in

23:03

your life He acts like a puppy no

23:06

signs Whatsoever so she's

23:08

still about 45 minutes or an

23:10

hour out of Atlanta when all this happens in the

23:12

back of the car I mean just so incredibly suddenly,

23:14

right? So Hollis is

23:16

at church camp. We don't want to say he first of

23:18

all, he doesn't have his phone Jesus doesn't like you

23:20

on your phone during church camps. I've ever seen no phones

23:23

at all. So I went

23:25

to go pick him up There's about

23:27

15 minutes from when I pick him up and get

23:29

him to Stacy's house So Stacy and I agreed that

23:31

we would tell him together So

23:33

he's telling me all about his church camp and I

23:35

don't have any idea what he's saying All I'm doing

23:37

is focusing on the hurt that he's gonna feel when

23:39

we get back to the apartment So

23:41

we get back there and we

23:43

sit him down and he's like what's going on am I

23:45

in trouble? And we had like are you getting divorced again?

23:56

So we had to tell him but it's

23:59

been a really painful couple days, Stacy has

24:01

been unconsolable. Hollis at 16

24:03

years old, a 16 year old boy is kind of numb

24:05

right now. I think it's going to take him a couple

24:07

of days to process the whole thing. But

24:09

to have it happen so suddenly like that, I mean,

24:11

when it comes absolutely out

24:14

of nowhere, and you

24:16

know, at least with my dogs in the

24:18

past, I could see them deteriorating, and I

24:20

had to make that call, and I could

24:22

look them in the eyes before the injection

24:24

took hold, and you're the last thing they

24:27

see. In this case, it's

24:29

just so sudden. And I think

24:31

she's beating herself up a little bit

24:33

because he was pant. That's what he does though.

24:35

That's what dogs do. Dogs do, you know, she's

24:37

like, in retrospect, maybe I should have paid more

24:40

attention to the panting, but I've been

24:42

telling her, you can't beat yourself up about that. That

24:44

dog's been at my house panting. He's been absolutely fine.

24:46

He's got the zoomies at four o'clock every day. I

24:48

can't slow that dog down. So, Bert shared

24:50

this story with me this past weekend.

24:53

We were at a party, and we're sitting down,

24:55

and that's how he came. I sit down next

24:57

to him, and he immediately tells me that sweet

24:59

little Polly has passed away, and I'm like, wow,

25:01

you really know how to lighten a man. I

25:05

have to tell somebody. Because, you know. You're the

25:07

closest I am to that party. Well,

25:10

you know, obviously, I've worked here for

25:12

13 years, and therefore, five weeks, I

25:14

lived in Bert's basement while our house

25:16

was getting renovated, and the dogs ended

25:18

up having a pack mentality. So, we

25:20

had at our time our Golden Parker

25:22

and Leroy, who's now our old man,

25:24

and then Polly and Carmela would come

25:26

down to the basement, and all four

25:28

of them would sleep in our room

25:30

together, right? And they

25:32

were just thick as thieves. So,

25:34

you know, he's telling me about this, and

25:38

that night, as I'm going to bed,

25:41

Leroy starts panting really hard. Right?

25:43

And so, I'm laying there, and

25:45

I was intoxicated, all right? And

25:48

I'm like, and I'm playing over your conversation in

25:50

my head, so I got out of bed and

25:52

walked over to Leroy and said, I

25:55

love you so much. I

25:57

just wanted to tell you that in case you died tonight. I

26:02

am too drunk to take you to a vet

26:04

right now. This can't happen tonight. No, I

26:06

might, but just in case something happens, I wanted

26:08

to pet you one more time. But

26:11

no, he was honest that he

26:14

was the sweetest little white floof

26:16

of... He was like a perpetual puppy. He

26:18

was just always in that puppy stage. And

26:22

seeing those photos that you posted

26:24

of Hollis with him, you forget

26:26

how long ago that was. That

26:28

was like nine years ago that you guys got him. And

26:30

so I'm just, I'm really sorry because I know how hard

26:33

that is. Thank you. Yeah, I know they're going through

26:35

a lot of pain right now. It's funny story. When

26:37

Stacy and I got divorced, we were trying

26:39

to figure out what to do with the

26:41

dogs because Riggins really, my English bulldog was

26:43

mine and Holli was more affectionate with her.

26:46

But during the divorce, we had this idea that we'd

26:48

have custody over the dogs also. So they would come

26:50

over to my house for three days and go over

26:52

to her house for three days. And they do three,

26:54

three, we're going on and off, right? So

26:57

when the dogs were over at my house, Paulie

26:59

was peeing all over the place

27:02

in my house. It's the only trouble that

27:04

dog ever got into. Peeing all over the

27:06

place. And when the dogs were over at

27:08

Stacy's house, my English bulldog was chewing all

27:11

of her shoes. So they were

27:13

telling us where they wanted to be. So

27:15

that's why Paulie ended up with Stacy and Hollis

27:17

and Riggins ended up with me. I went back

27:19

and forth for a while about which way is

27:21

the better way to handle it when we lost

27:23

our family dog, Caesar. Because when he did start

27:25

to deteriorate a little bit, my family knew, but

27:27

because I was living outside of the home, they

27:30

decided not to tell me. So I had no

27:32

idea until the very, very end. And then on

27:34

a FaceTime, I was with my family to watch it.

27:36

And I was upset for a while because I felt

27:38

like I didn't get those goodbye moments, those like knowing

27:40

it was coming moments. But I don't think I would

27:42

have enjoyed those either. So there really

27:44

is no solution. It just sucks, man. I'm sorry you're

27:46

going through that. Thank you. Yeah.

27:49

Hollis handled it like a champ also when he came

27:51

home. We weren't exactly sure what to do. Stacy

27:55

immediately called me. She's like, I have no backyard,

27:57

but you have a backyard now. How do you

27:59

feel about burying them in your backyard? in your

28:01

backyard and my immediate reaction was, sure, whatever you

28:03

need, I'll go to Lowe's and I'll get a

28:06

couple of shovels and I'll go online and find

28:08

out what's appropriate to bury a dog in. Well,

28:10

as soon as you do a search like that,

28:12

everything says don't do that. It's really, there are

28:14

so many different reasons why you shouldn't. So she

28:16

was hanging out with a couple of her friends

28:18

who talked her out of that. So she brought

28:21

him to a vet

28:23

a couple of miles away and

28:26

they kept him there on ice. And

28:28

Stacy said to Hollis, like he's still around. If

28:30

you wanna say goodbye to him, then we can go

28:33

over there tonight and you can do that. You can

28:35

say your goodbyes. And Hollis is like, you know what?

28:37

That's not the way I wanna remember

28:39

him like that. I wanna remember him as

28:41

his dog that had these little tippy-tappy little,

28:44

he was always hitting his paws on the

28:46

hardwood floor so fast and he was so

28:48

energetic that that's the way that he wanted

28:50

to remember him. So he passed on

28:53

it, which I think was a really smart thing to

28:55

do, you know? But it's hard, really, really, really hard.

28:57

It's a bird show. It's a bird show. We are

29:00

down to the fugly four and

29:02

the bird show is busted, baby

29:04

bracket. Last year and in previous

29:06

years when we've done this before

29:09

and we've done like a beautiful baby bracket,

29:11

a lot of you guys have emailed us

29:13

and said, oh my God, baby 26, that

29:16

doesn't deserve to be in there. That's not a good

29:18

looking baby. The one thing I know for

29:20

sure is there is gonna be no controversy

29:23

with these final four. The

29:25

top seeds made it to the final four, didn't they? As

29:27

they should. There were no upsets. The championship is

29:29

up for grabs. It's anybody. It is

29:32

really anybody's. And so matchup number one.

29:34

Dented head cone head. Dented

29:37

cone head. And

29:39

then receding hairline baby. With

29:42

very large forehead. And then

29:44

matchup number two, we have another one of

29:46

our cone head babies made it to the

29:48

end and then my sweet little melted gummy

29:51

baby. We don't know if melted gummy

29:53

baby really made it into the

29:55

cone head umbrella because there appears to be

29:57

like a. That is the.

30:00

quintessential beanie that they put on all babies at

30:02

the hospital. Is it? It's not the one to cover up that

30:04

cone? No. Okay. Well,

30:06

when they come out, you know, because I don't know if you

30:08

know this or not, it's warm inside a woman's body. So when

30:10

they come out, it's a little, it's a little

30:13

startling how cold it is. For yours too? Yes.

30:16

Believe or not,

30:19

it's warm inside,

30:22

even though obviously not since I came up with this

30:24

idea on the outside. So they

30:26

immediately put those, I mean, it's just

30:28

the quintessential hospital beanie that they put

30:30

on every single baby with the blue

30:32

and the pink stripes. There's a thousand

30:34

dollars on the line for the family

30:36

that wins, lashes, loses this. So

30:39

go ahead, vote online. It is the

30:41

Burch Show's Fuggly Four now in our

30:44

busted bracket competition. All right,

30:46

forgive or forget, she's having a hard

30:48

time forgiving a friend who did her

30:50

dirty on Instagram. Kristen's got the email.

30:52

A few weeks ago, my roommate and I had

30:54

a bunch of friends over and I may have

30:57

had a bit too much to drink. Long story

30:59

short, ended up passing out at home. What

31:02

happened next is what's really bothering me.

31:05

My roommate, let's call her Sarah, took

31:08

a picture of me with my phone

31:10

while passed out. Shirt

31:12

hiked up, messy hair, spilled drink on

31:14

my jeans, mouth wide open. Now

31:17

if she had just taken the picture to show me the

31:19

next day, that may have been funny. Instead,

31:23

she used my phone to

31:26

upload the picture onto my

31:28

Instagram account with

31:30

a funny caption as if I had

31:32

posted it myself. By

31:36

the time I realized it, the picture had already been

31:38

up for almost 24 hours. I

31:41

was humiliated. I also

31:43

have a feeling that this might have been

31:45

why I received an email from a teaching

31:47

job I was interviewing for that said they

31:49

didn't think I was the right fit

31:51

for the position. I

31:55

can't let go of my anger and

31:57

have been really distant towards quote-unquote

32:00

Sarah. I've really only said a few words to her

32:02

in the last few weeks. I don't know if I'm

32:04

justified for how angry I am. Should I let it

32:06

go or is it time to end

32:08

this friendship and look for another reason? For

32:12

me, this would be a situation

32:14

where I would have a really hard time

32:16

forgetting, but I think I would have to

32:18

bring myself to forgive her. Because listen, the

32:21

intention here wasn't to get you fired or

32:23

not to not get you this position, to

32:25

not not humiliate you. Obviously, I think it

32:27

was stupid, but maybe she uploaded it while

32:29

she was also intoxicated. And

32:31

she also made a drunk mistake. I

32:33

know you're embarrassed. I would be equally

32:35

paved if I was you. But I

32:38

think when it comes to making the decision

32:40

whether to ditch a friend or to continue

32:42

to work through things, you've got to look

32:44

through people's patterns. So if this is something

32:46

that she continually does after you have the

32:48

conversation, then I think it's time to

32:50

forget this friend. Otherwise, I think you're in the

32:52

best bet to forgive her. And I don't think

32:55

it's the mistake. It's how the friend handles the

32:57

mistake. So

32:59

if she's dumbly

33:01

down thinking it's funny, then you've

33:03

got to reassess this friendship. But if

33:05

she is showing sincere remorse and is

33:07

very apologetic and obviously never thought a

33:09

future employer would look at this and

33:11

you not get a job, I think

33:13

if she falls on that and tries

33:15

to make it up to you, then

33:18

there's room for forgiveness. That's what

33:20

really come down to how close me and

33:22

a friend was before this happened, because forgiveness,

33:24

I've not always been the best at in

33:26

my life. And it would upset me to

33:28

know that at the point of you taking

33:30

this picture and taking my phone

33:32

and going into my Instagram and posting it like

33:34

at no point did you stop and say to

33:36

yourself, this might not be the best idea that

33:39

would bother me. But I probably would be able

33:41

to get past it. But I could definitely understand

33:43

the process. It needs some time to figure out

33:45

your friends intentions, by honest. Yeah, I would need

33:47

to know more about the relationship because I think

33:49

women bully each other differently than dudes do. So

33:53

if this is a true friend,

33:55

this is just a bad mistake. It was

33:57

funny. She was drunk. You were drunk. with

34:00

somebody that might be a frenemy and this

34:02

is kind of a passive aggressive way of

34:04

bullying you, then you got a different situation

34:06

here. Abby, I'm curious. How did

34:08

you feel when you got

34:11

your phone Sunday morning and

34:13

you were looking through the photo roll and

34:15

you saw all those pictures of us? Oh

34:18

yeah, when I saw the hand vagina. All

34:21

right, so what Abby didn't know is

34:23

after she took that tequila shot at dinner,

34:25

and she

34:30

was like, I got to go to the bathroom. She

34:33

left her phone on the table. So

34:35

of course with the iPhone, you don't have to unlock

34:37

it. You can just at the bottom right, press it

34:40

and the camera pops up. So we

34:42

just started having a field day

34:44

taking pictures of people's crotches and

34:47

like hand vaginas and

34:49

then doing this weird thing where it looks

34:51

like somebody's naked and it's their legs and

34:53

their butt. And

34:56

so we got to a certain point where maybe

34:59

it was me, I was pretty drunk though,

35:01

where I was like, okay, enough is enough. It could

35:03

have gotten worse. I

35:06

don't know that you've been told this yet,

35:08

but while you're in the bathroom puking, we

35:11

all knew you were going to try to make a run for it

35:13

without saying goodbye to all of us. I

35:16

was on the outside of this one. I was

35:18

not involved in it, but somebody had the idea. Three

35:21

fourths of the party went outside in front of

35:24

the door. So when you left the bathroom and

35:26

tried to get your Uber, we were all going

35:28

to be there. Not like you. We were going

35:30

to be there to hear. That's

35:32

hilarious. Wait, you guys, listen, I

35:35

don't remember. After the tequila shot,

35:37

it was lights out for me. I don't

35:39

remember anything as far as I'm concerned, I

35:41

teleported home. So you could have appeared for

35:43

me and I wouldn't have remembered anything. Bart

35:45

was so excited because he thought it would

35:47

be so hilarious. And then Joel, he

35:50

came back and he was like, guys, this

35:52

is me, guys. I don't think it

35:54

was me. Honestly,

35:58

when I found those photos, it made

36:00

me. feel so much better because I

36:02

woke up with the worst hang-didy. I

36:04

was like I just destroyed Molly's beautiful

36:07

bathroom with my wag you

36:10

throw up. The

36:13

Birch Show. Time to get buzzed on

36:15

the hot gosh from Hollywood. Abby,

36:18

it's the Birch Show's entertainment buzz.

36:20

She's not gonna be the next lead

36:22

of the Bachelorette. So why did Good

36:25

Morning America announce that she was? So

36:27

I'm talking about contestant Daisy Kent from

36:29

this year's Bachelor season. She was one

36:31

of the fan favorites. Fans really connected

36:33

with her. She's really down down to

36:35

earth. She's a cochlear implant and she

36:37

has a really great story too and

36:39

she actually did something that has never been

36:41

done in Bachelor history during the finale. She

36:44

actually got to the front of the big

36:46

proposal so at the end of the season

36:48

it comes down to two women. The Bachelor

36:51

is at this shrine where he's going to propose

36:53

to one of the women and they always let

36:55

the loser go first. It's called an altar. He

36:57

proposes to the second girl to

36:59

come out of the sprinter van

37:10

and of course Daisy gets out first and

37:12

she decides to dump him before he can

37:14

dump her. So

37:34

she just basically wants to beat him to

37:36

the punch. She's like you can't dump me.

37:38

I'm gonna dump you first. So then she

37:40

walks off and it's this you know big

37:42

woman empowerment moment and so everyone's assuming the

37:44

next Bachelorette is either gonna be her or

37:46

another contestant named Maria who is also a

37:48

fan favorite throughout this season and so people

37:50

were shocked when the next Bachelorette was announced

37:53

to be a girl named Jen who we

37:55

all completely forgot about after hometowns because she

37:57

didn't have like a big storyline. Normally the

37:59

girl that gets chosen to be the Babsle

38:01

Red is somebody we can all kind of

38:03

root for. It was somebody who was either

38:05

really snarky during the season and had great

38:07

commentary and we all thought would be a

38:09

great lead or maybe it's somebody like Daisy

38:11

that we really want to fall in love

38:13

because she wasn't chosen. It was so heartbreaking,

38:15

but it turns out that Daisy actually denied

38:18

the opportunity. So the host of

38:20

the show, Jesse Palmer said, how do you feel

38:22

about being the next lead? And she's like, I'm

38:24

just not in the place for it. I am

38:26

not recovered from it. So then everyone thought, Oh,

38:29

it's probably going to be Maria. Well, apparently Maria

38:31

denied it too. So now this next season's Babsle

38:33

Red lead is going to be the first Asian

38:35

Babsle Red, Jen Tran. So we'll get to follow

38:38

her journey through the next season. But a lot

38:40

of people were shocked because good morning, America actually

38:42

posted on Facebook that Daisy was going to be

38:44

the next Babsle Red. And we were all like,

38:46

what? Like if you Google next Babsle Red, the

38:49

good morning America headline says Daisy Kent next Babsle

38:51

Red. And then you click on it and it's

38:53

clear that somebody had to change it to say,

38:55

Jen. Wow. So they, so they offered it to

38:57

the, these ladies, but they were like, sorry,

39:00

not sorry. I'm going to pass. Yep. Yep. Yep. Or the

39:02

rumor is with Maria, she got offered it. We don't know

39:04

that for sure. But Daisy was definitely asked to do that.

39:08

Kenny Shazney, he says he's got a fear

39:10

of failure, despite being worth $219 million. It's

39:15

crazy to see that the imposter syndrome just never goes away.

39:18

So he said in a recent interview with the

39:20

today's show that he is so terrified of being

39:22

complacent that he's going to work hard to not

39:24

fail. I'm terrified of being complacent

39:26

and failure. We always get into a

39:29

stadium market on a Friday and

39:31

on a Friday after sound check, I'll go to the

39:33

very top and sit just

39:36

by myself. I want to be grateful

39:38

for what's happened. It's a way for

39:40

me to emotionally and mentally measure

39:43

how far it is down here. Cause

39:47

I know what it looks like from the

39:49

stage up there, but if I'm going to

39:52

get close to connecting with this people, I

39:54

gotta have their perspective. To

39:56

me, that's the difference between somebody who is great

39:58

and is good at their. job and someone

40:00

who becomes a legend like Kenny Chesney, like

40:03

when you reach the top, quote unquote, do

40:05

you still continue to challenge yourself and put

40:07

yourself in other people's shoes? Do

40:10

you guys motivate yourself or

40:12

are you motivated more by

40:15

failure or by the opportunity

40:17

of success? Failure. Failure

40:20

motivates you. Fear or failure? Say

40:22

it. Neither. It's actually competition. I

40:25

think I'm like a very competitive person and

40:27

I think sometimes the things that need to,

40:30

the things that motivate me the most

40:32

are, and this sounds bad, but wanting to beat

40:35

somebody out. I want to be,

40:37

I'm like very competitive. So

40:40

I guess maybe that's a fear or failure. I

40:42

don't want someone to beat me. Yeah,

40:44

I think I'm the same. Fear or failure? People

40:46

always say I don't fear anything, but if I do have

40:49

a fear, it's being broke. Yeah. Got

40:51

a hating bill. Yeah. That's a good

40:53

one. Yeah. All right. Whoopi

40:56

Goldberg had a very awkward moment on The View. She had

40:58

to scold an audience member because they were on their phone

41:00

and they shouldn't have been. You know, I

41:02

will say this and I think it'll surprise people. The

41:04

fact that his phone. Hold on, sir. I

41:08

have to, I have to stop you with the

41:10

camera as I can see you. So

41:12

do me a favor. Don't pull it out again.

41:15

I'd appreciate that. Thank you. Thank

41:17

you. What are you doing? I'm recording. Oh.

41:22

And as

41:25

I was saying, you know, I think this was... I was like,

41:27

do they not have people for that? Is there no security like

41:29

grabbing the phones? Like, why is that Whoopi's job? Yeah. You're

41:32

right. And she's over here calling out the dude with the

41:34

camera in the audience. I'd be more scared of Whoopi than

41:37

I would security. For

41:40

more stories, head to the Burt Show podcast on

41:42

your favorite listening platform. Hey, the Burt

41:44

Show. She wanted answers and she got answers about an

41:46

hour ago. She wanted us to do a closure call

41:48

because this dude she'd been saying for five months just

41:50

got up in the middle of the night and took

41:52

off and she couldn't figure out why. So

41:55

we reached out to him and we got her answers, but

41:57

you missed it. Not forever though, because

41:59

it's on demand. right now our

42:01

podcast we uploaded segment by segment or

42:03

you can listen to the entire show

42:05

so if you miss that this morning

42:08

just go to any podcasting platform and

42:10

look up the Burt show. Alright so

42:12

we had a Burt show listener reach out to us and

42:15

she had discovered some

42:17

material online that

42:19

her husband had it been

42:21

perusing and it was outside

42:24

of her comfort zone in the bedroom. That's Kristin's

42:26

PC away of saying he was looking at

42:28

some pretty freaky porn. Yeah okay there

42:30

you go yeah there there might

42:32

be a fetish or two there

42:34

and she knows like there's absolutely

42:36

no way in hell she could ever

42:38

do this like that that is just so outside her

42:40

comfort zone. Yeah home run the definition of a home

42:43

run really has changed over the last decade. You

42:46

know the bases used to be a certain thing and

42:48

now you know what now just having sex that's not

42:50

a home run anymore. So she came to us and

42:52

we were like girl like maybe this is just something

43:01

he enjoys watching it doesn't mean he necessarily

43:03

wants to do it in the bedroom because

43:05

she was contemplating saying hey if you want

43:07

to go to Vegas and live

43:09

out this fantasy I'm gonna give you a hall

43:11

pass to do so because I know I can't

43:13

do it and we were like don't

43:15

do it don't do it well she sat him down she

43:17

had a conversation with them and she offered up the trip

43:19

to Vegas to go and fulfill this

43:21

fantasy that she is unable to participate

43:23

in and he said

43:25

he needed a moment to think about

43:27

it and

43:30

that's the smart thing to do as a

43:32

husband right because when your wife comes

43:34

to you with something like that you

43:36

know what it could be a trap could be a test you need 24

43:38

hours right you gotta run it by

43:40

well he won't even run this one by all his

43:42

friends he wouldn't tell us what it is she just

43:45

said that it's a thing that he wants to done

43:47

to him right correct and so we started throwing

43:49

things out there like yeah we

43:51

get it yeah anyway

43:53

he goes I need a couple days to think about it and

43:55

so it was just I like you said it's better than him

43:58

being like okay I'm gonna pick up a bag now I

44:00

want to buy my ticket. As

44:04

soon as you said we need to talk tonight, I bought a ticket.

44:07

So it's been a couple of days and

44:09

now she's checking back in to let us

44:11

know if he has accepted her proposition of

44:13

going to Vegas and fulfilling this fantasy. Where

44:16

anything goes. Anything is legal, right? I don't

44:19

know about all that, but... Pretty

44:21

much, I think. You can murder somebody in Vegas. Well,

44:24

it depends what county. Either way, it has to

44:26

stay there. Hey,

44:28

Bart. I knew you'd want an update,

44:30

so here goes. To make a

44:32

long story short, he wants to

44:34

experiment with this idea. We

44:36

can't afford the trip to Vegas right now,

44:38

so it's kind of tabled, but he wants

44:41

to try this. I bet she

44:43

was surprised by that. I did

44:45

not know you were going to go that

44:47

way. You guys are right. I have mixed

44:49

emotions about this. While this is

44:51

totally out of my comfort zone, should I

44:53

just suck it up and try it for

44:55

him? Who knows? Maybe

44:58

it won't be that bad. I really

45:00

have strong feelings both ways. Like,

45:03

I don't want him to experience anything

45:05

like this with someone else, do I?

45:07

Heck, maybe it would bring us closer. The

45:10

more I think about it, the worse I feel

45:13

about making the offer and even worse about

45:15

him willing to do this with another

45:17

woman. Yeah. It's going the wrong way.

45:20

So this is somewhat backfired right

45:22

now, she writes. But

45:25

I have a while and I think I

45:27

can reverse my position if I choose, right?

45:30

He said he'd now be uncomfortable

45:32

with me doing this because he

45:34

knows how uncomfortable I am, so

45:37

he wouldn't even enjoy it. At this

45:39

point, I'm not sure what to think or to

45:41

feel. Well, you can rescind the offer, right?

45:44

I mean, to me, that's the rule of consent.

45:46

You can say no at any point, no matter

45:48

how far you've gone. So I feel like that

45:50

even goes with the ask. Well,

45:53

it's not. We're talking about consent.

45:55

I guess the traditional definition is

45:57

consent to my body, given consent.

46:00

for him to do something with his body. Right.

46:02

And I mean, of course you can rescind it. I

46:04

don't know how that's going to make him feel now

46:06

that he already has it in his head. And he

46:08

has this opportunity to think that

46:11

he can do it. But I think she should

46:13

try to because if you already got this amount

46:15

of doubts in your mind, I

46:17

don't see this being good for her. He actually goes through with

46:19

it. Do you think

46:22

she should just try whatever it is?

46:24

No, no. Under no circumstances. I feel

46:26

like that, her doing that, it's going to be compromising

46:28

herself and the only reason why she's doing that is

46:30

not because she wants to, but because she doesn't want

46:32

another woman to do it to him. And that shouldn't

46:34

be the reason why you do something like that. If

46:36

you're going to do something like that, you need to

46:38

be comfortable with it. You need to do it because

46:40

you want to, not because you're afraid somebody else is

46:42

going to do it. I feel at this point, now

46:44

that you've had time to sit in it, kind of

46:47

like he wants to. We

46:50

don't know. We don't know. Yeah,

46:53

you got to be, this is, if you're going

46:55

to do something like this, the number one rule

46:57

is communication. That is key. And you got to

47:00

let him know the more I thought about it,

47:02

the more I can't, I can't do this. If

47:04

she does try to rescind it and he says

47:06

no take backs. No,

47:08

no take backs. Are

47:11

we in jail? I

47:17

mean, it's been the same rule since

47:19

you were six years old. Exactly. No

47:21

take backs. No take backs. Everybody knows

47:23

that's a rule. Absolutely not. That

47:26

does not apply here in this

47:28

instance. Hey Sarah, good morning. You're part of

47:30

the birth show. Should she let him go to Vegas and

47:32

get whatever this thing is done to him so she doesn't

47:34

have to deal with it. I'm

47:37

sorry, can I be on the voice of guys?

47:39

Yeah, hold on one sec. There you go. Go for it.

47:42

Okay. All right. No, no, she

47:44

shouldn't because even though she agreed to it

47:46

now, he accepted the offer. She's going to

47:48

be missing, forgive him, but she

47:50

will never forget it. She will convey that they have

47:53

triggers. What do you mean? If

47:55

she does it, if she goes through it instead,

47:57

like she said, hey, if I tell him not

47:59

to go. But I'll do it. She's

48:01

telling her they'll be resentment. They'll be triggers

48:03

Like don't put yourself in a position to

48:05

do something that you really don't want to

48:07

do especially if it's something in the bedroom

48:09

This is such a man She's painted herself

48:12

or both of them have painted themselves in

48:14

a really tight corner because now this is

48:16

within his grasp He's had this fantasy now.

48:18

He's thinking about it. Now So

48:24

the disappointment of her coming back and going reverse is

48:26

gonna be really tough But then as I said in

48:28

the very beginning, it's very difficult for a dude to

48:30

go back sexually, you know So if she allows him

48:33

to do this, he's gonna want to go to Vegas

48:35

four or five times a year Yeah, it's definitely gonna

48:37

be the gateway to him wanting to do it all

48:39

the time. Hey, Leah. Good morning. You're on the bird show

48:48

I really think they should work

48:51

on intimacy Communication

48:53

fantasy They are

48:56

playing with fire if he goes and five

48:58

sex from people for someone in Vegas I

49:00

don't care if it's leave or not you

49:03

there are so many pitfalls I

49:12

don't agree with that I don't agree

49:15

with that last day I don't agree with that last day

49:18

The bird show You

49:20

ever been in a position where you think that you're

49:22

super weird until you find out there are other people

49:25

That are just as weird as you and it brings

49:27

some comfort 100% all the

49:29

time remember I've told you guys that I

49:31

have like this weird attachment to

49:34

materialistic things that I tend

49:37

to Feel

49:40

like it's personal like when I go on vacation And

49:43

I'm packing from my trips and I'm trying

49:45

to figure out which clothes to bring I

49:47

can almost hear the t-shirts that I'm not

49:49

bringing going. How about me? I've

49:51

been with you for a long time I want

49:53

to go see Peru. Yeah Different

49:56

objects to me have like personalities in my

49:58

head and then I'm reading meeting this

50:00

morning that half of Americans, half

50:02

of Americans, think that their car

50:04

is a family member. I

50:07

used to. It's sad. When you

50:09

see your car getting towed, it's like a family

50:11

member that's sick. It is sad. So

50:13

when I had Annie the Avenger, right? When

50:16

I had Annie the Avenger for years, I

50:19

ended up writing a goodbye

50:21

letter to her and read it on the air of

50:24

my old morning show and straight up started crying on

50:26

the air because I had had her for eight years. There

50:28

were so many memories because she was there with me

50:30

in college. And then we, you know, when I got

50:32

out of college and my first job and now we're

50:34

in a new state together and this is what I've

50:36

known. And I'm on the air

50:38

reading my letter to Annie the Avenger like

50:40

tears streaming down my face. And I left

50:42

it in the console of the car. That

50:44

way the new owner would find it. All

50:47

right, that's next level. Hi,

50:50

my name is Kristen. I'm just driving.

50:52

I can't believe that. All right, Kristen.

50:56

You gave us an assignment four

50:58

hours ago. I did. So Kristen

51:00

stupid bit of the week this week

51:02

was to do portraits of each other.

51:04

So there is a viral trend happening

51:07

right now on social media where couples

51:09

sit down for a delightful

51:11

date night where they paint

51:13

each other's likeness. So he or she will

51:15

sit across from each other. They'll have a

51:18

couple glasses of wine. They'll

51:20

paint what they, you know, the best rendition

51:22

of their significant other. And then at the

51:24

end, they unveil the portraits to each other.

51:27

And nine times out of 10, the dudes

51:29

aren't doing so hot and the

51:32

women's reactions are priceless. Ready

51:34

for mine? No. Okay, here, take it. I don't

51:36

want to get it. I don't want

51:38

to get it. Please don't break up. I'm

51:40

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

51:43

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

51:45

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

51:48

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

51:50

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please

51:52

don't break up. So

52:01

she's looking at the picture that he painted of

52:03

mom saying she's so offended don't break up. Yes,

52:06

she's begging mom not to break up with dad because

52:08

he did such a poor job painting her. See

52:11

I think this goes back to gender

52:13

stereotypes that are dangerous because when you're a

52:15

young girl your mom gets you involved

52:17

in crafts and painting when you're a

52:19

young boy you're outside you're playing sports

52:21

and if you had a dad like

52:23

that or parents like that dudes

52:26

are at a terrible disadvantage in here.

52:28

Absolutely. Blaming us on our parents. Oh

52:30

get out of here. Yeah. Jimmy

52:33

paints and crafts all the time at preschool that

52:35

is not a gender or sex thing like all

52:37

the kids do the same crafts and the same

52:39

painting. I'm like that my dad was the worst and I picked

52:41

up a paint brush and he'd have been like what are you doing?

52:44

Oh you're gonna end up gay. My

52:47

dad would have said that back in the day. Oh

52:50

brilliant. And that explains a lot. Alright

52:54

so who thinks they did the

52:56

worst? Oh for sure. Nah

52:58

I think I got you. Moses pretty

53:00

bad. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

53:03

He made Burt both the University of Florida

53:06

fan and David John just. I'm

53:09

more offended by the Florida fan. Who was George

53:11

a fan? He wasn't on purpose. Alright so

53:13

how about Abby and I unveil each other's first because

53:15

I did a portrait of Abby. Abby

53:17

did a portrait of me because we're sitting across from each other

53:19

and Burt did a portrait of Mo. Mo

53:21

did a portrait of Burt. So I'm gonna unveil mine

53:23

first. Ready Abby? So this is

53:26

my painting of you. Oh

53:30

I'm an elf. Oh those

53:32

were by bangs. Those

53:35

were bangs. My hair was really hard.

53:39

I was like why did you give me horn? No those are

53:41

your and I didn't want to mess with ears so

53:43

I just pretended like you didn't have any. Why is

53:45

your face round? I have a round face. I

53:49

actually feel like it's more offensive the closer you

53:51

get. I'm like I need my Ollie back.

53:57

It's a little too accurate. the

54:00

side of the head no bueno. No

54:02

look at her hair though it flips out like

54:04

that she's not mean. I mean I am

54:06

a tourist but you know no horns. She's

54:08

got like Shrek ears. I'm

54:10

not commenting on anybody's decline it's so incredibly bad

54:12

and I'm afraid to show it to Mo because

54:15

he's gonna call me a racist. She wearableed me

54:17

once during. Bert when I saw it halfway through

54:19

when you guys showed them

54:23

to me that's what I thought. This is this is

54:25

this is not my strong point. I just wanna let

54:27

you get it. You said it

54:29

like 20 times. I just want this

54:32

is gonna go over a line. I think

54:34

you're making white. What did you do? I

54:36

did not. All right. I'm actually like weirdly

54:38

proud of mine. I was too.

54:41

Okay ready? Yes. Three, two, one.

54:43

Okay. Okay. I do have an oversized sweatshirt

54:45

on today. It's his

54:52

first big adventure. Yes you do. You did

54:54

a lovely job with my glasses and my

54:56

beady little eyes. And

54:58

then I'm saying the word fart. Yeah.

55:00

That's not bad. No, it's not bad. All

55:03

right. We can end it there.

55:05

Okay. No. All right. Who

55:07

wants to? I'll go. No, save yours

55:09

for last. You

55:11

already know. No, save yours

55:13

for last. So Mo, you're

55:15

drawing Herbert Wise.

55:18

I have no artistic ability whatsoever. My sister

55:20

took all of that. So here

55:23

we go. Here goes nothing. What in the hell?

55:25

Where is his neck? That's

55:33

it right there. He has a shirt on. Like is that the. So

55:37

his chin is in his shirt? Yeah.

55:39

It's the high neck piece. You never

55:41

seen a. You are. That is the

55:44

tannin person on this show is Burt

55:46

Wise. And he is. He gave me

55:49

no pigments. I'm

55:52

more offended that you gave me that I have

55:54

no tan at all than anything else in that

55:56

face. Even the oversized nose is fairly. I

56:00

didn't figure out how to mix the

56:02

paint with a complexion. If we had

56:04

a fugly five, you'd be like... I'm

56:06

sorry, bro. I'm sorry, babe. Now

56:08

I don't feel that bad about mine. That is... Yeah,

56:11

that looks like a potato. Yeah, go get her,

56:13

son. But his eyes match his hat. I gave

56:15

him swag. You gave him orange skin. What other color?

56:17

I didn't know what to use. All

56:21

right, mine has essentially been done by a toddler. Are

56:23

we ready? Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh,

56:26

God. I can see it from the back. Oh, my God. Come

56:28

on. Where

56:31

the... Where the... Where

56:34

the... That is definitely

56:37

racist. That is a hate

56:39

crime. Thank

56:42

you. How would you

56:45

like to press charges? They will

56:47

all be up online. Unfortunately,
