Summary of Full Show PT 3: Thursday, January 22 [Vault]

Overview of Full Show PT 3: Thursday, January 22 [Vault]

This episode (part 3 of the full show) of The Burt Show (Pionaire Podcasting) mixes listener call-ins and on-air banter. The three clear threads are: humorous and mortifying parenting stories about young children picking up profanity, a multi-call saga about ex‑wives’ wedding/engagement rings being reused or requested back, and an interview with actor Jake Gyllenhaal about his career choices and new movie Jarhead. Hosts include Burt and regular co-hosts (Melissa, Jeff, Jen); callers and guest Jake Gyllenhaal appear throughout.

Main segments

Kids cussing — listener stories and hosts’ reactions

• Opening conversation: hosts trade stories about kids’ first curse words and how parents often blame the other parent.
• Burt shares a story: his 3‑year‑old son Hayden clearly says “effing dog” after another child takes his hot dog; parents try to ignore it rather than laugh or punish.
• Multiple callers recount similar moments:
  • A child blurts an F‑word in a silent movie theater.
  • A 3‑year‑old tells a dog “GD it, Cosby, shut up” (caller had to leave the room laughing).
  • A toddler calls Barney “a bitch.”
  • Another child mispronounces the F‑word when referring to a toy gun—later reveals the child learned it from a father watching violent movies.
• Recurring themes: parents try not to laugh, often delay correction to avoid reinforcing the word, and privately blame the other parent for the vocabulary leak.

Engagement/wedding ring drama — Michelle’s call and follow-ups

• Main caller (Michelle) described her ex asking for her wedding ring back so he could propose to his new girlfriend.
• Michelle’s resolution: she agreed to give him the diamond but keep the ring setting, have it written in exchange paperwork, and planned to use the remaining setting for her daughters or future jewelry. Hosts advise extracting the stone yourself at a jeweler and getting written/appraised proof.
• Several related listener stories:
  • Robin: was proposed to with a ring that later turned out to have belonged to the proposer’s pregnant ex (revealed when Robin drew that ex’s blood—awkward and relationship‑ending).
  • Sydney: happily wearing her husband’s ex‑wife’s ring while he’s a student—she’s okay with it and expects he’ll eventually buy a new one.
  • Nicole: at a club, a man’s ex confronted her, trying to remove the ring from her finger, claiming it was her ring—led to breakup.
• Hosts debate ethics, sentimentality, and practicalities (documentation, removing the diamond, and power dynamics when the ring originally belonged to someone else).

Jake Gyllenhaal interview

• Jake discusses his preference for scripts that give him acting challenges (indie films), but also enjoys big blockbusters for different reasons.
• Mentions near‑miss on Moulin Rouge (audition competition with Heath Ledger and Ewan McGregor) and how he and Heath later worked together.
• Talks candidly about taking Brokeback Mountain despite potential stigma, describing it as a deeper story than press labels suggest.
• On Jarhead: describes the film as focused on waiting, introspection and the non‑combat experience of the Gulf War, not a typical action war movie.
• Light, playful banter about tabloids / his reported relationship with Kirsten Dunst (he’s evasive but complimentary), and jokes about having a big head / hat sizing.
• Closing: plugs Jarhead and encourages listeners to see the film.

Notable quotes / highlights

• Child usage: “effing dog” — used in correct context by a 3‑year‑old (hosts find this both alarming and hilarious).
• Advice to Michelle: remove the diamond at a jeweler and provide documentation — practical legal/transactional suggestion.
• Jake on role choices: “They were the ones where I could kind of stretch myself and push myself” — explains his indie‑leaning filmography.
• Jake on Brokeback Mountain: acknowledges stigma but calls the story “much more than that.”

Key takeaways / practical recommendations

• Parenting and profanity:
  • If a child uses a curse word in public, many parents recommend not laughing or overreacting; decide on a consistent, calm correction policy at home (modeling matters—kids pick up parental language).
  • Blaming the other parent is common but unproductive; coordinate language expectations together.
• Dealing with reused/returned wedding rings:
  • If an ex asks for a ring back, consider removing the stone yourself and documenting any exchange (receipts, written agreements).
  • An appraisal or jeweler’s certificate helps validate what was transferred and can prevent disputes.
  • Think about sentimental value vs. practical/legal obligations (e.g., child support offsets).
• When sharing stories publicly: be prepared for both sympathetic and critical listener reactions; such tales often spark mixed moral judgments.

Who’s who (quick)

• Hosts: Burt (main), Melissa, Jeff, Jen (regular contributors).
• Guest: Jake Gyllenhaal — actor interviewed about career, Brokeback Mountain, Jarhead.
• Callers: Michelle (ring saga), Robin, Sydney, Nicole, and other listeners with parenting anecdotes.

Bottom line

This show blends lighthearted, relatable listener stories (kids cussing, ex‑ring drama) with a substantive celebrity interview. Listeners get both comic relief and practical advice (especially around the ring dispute), plus a promotional, thoughtful conversation with Jake Gyllenhaal about acting choices and his new film Jarhead.
