Summary — Full Show PT 3: Tuesday, October 7

Author/Host: Pionaire Podcasting (The Burt Show)

Overview

This segment is a call-in episode of The Burt Show focused on 25 years of the program. Hosts invite listeners to share memories, complaints, and “never forget” stories. The hour is a mix of nostalgia, on-air apologies/forgiveness, behind-the-scenes anecdotes about past controversies and pranks, and the usual show banter. Several callers recount why they left the show for a time and why they came back. The show also solicits shockingly memorable stories for cash prizes.

Key Points & Main Takeaways

  • The show opened a voicemail line (404-954-1360) for listeners to leave messages about the show’s 25-year run—encouraging practiced/recorded voicemails for on-air playback.
  • Multiple longtime listeners called to explain why they briefly stopped listening (offended by past segments, pranks, anonymous emails) and to express forgiveness and continued loyalty.
  • Hosts reminisce about on-air disagreements between cast members and laugh about past misunderstandings (notably a Charleston market visit and a first-class seat-related tweet mix-up).
  • Several memorable listener stories were shared live:
    • A listener boycotted the show over a segment about dog training but returned and forgave the hosts.
    • A caller’s relationship was strained after an on-air segment (a Tinder/contest call) — now they’re married and laugh about it.
    • An elaborate Valentine’s Day prank staged to “sift out gold diggers” led many women to show up for a fake wealthy proposer.
    • A caller told a gruesome Thanksgiving story: a family pit bull bit a Yorkie’s head off under the table, ending the holiday. (Content warning: disturbing.)
    • A deployed servicemember described accidentally shooting a running target that turned out to be a donkey; it became a running joke (“donkey killer”) and earned the caller a $100 prize.
    • A caller at 14 thought he’d gotten someone pregnant and gave his saved money to her — the baby was clearly not his (racial difference), relieving him.
  • The show offered $100 (and sometimes more) for callers with stories “we will never forget,” with voice disguise available.

Notable Quotes / Insights
