Overview of Full Show PT 3: Wednesday, January 21 [Vault]

This episode of The Burt Show mixes a studio interview with 50 Cent, listener call-ins, and live on-air problem-solving. Major themes include celebrity business projects and controversies (50 Cent on his movie/music ventures and criticism over gun imagery), relationship/Divorce dilemmas (a caller debating whether to give her wedding ring to her ex), eccentric personal stories (a caller claiming an Italian curse/malach), and practical radio interventions (a singing-telegram wake-up for a husband who hits snooze).

Key segments and topics

50 Cent interview

  • Context: 50 Cent discusses his numerous projects tied to Get Rich or Die Tryin' (film, soundtrack) and broader business ventures.
  • Dallas Austin “Atlanta anthem” preview: 50 Cent and hosts listen to a 30-second clip; consensus is the track sounds like a party record, not a city “anthem.”
  • Controversy over film posters: LA community leaders criticized the movie posters for gun imagery. 50 Cent’s response:
    • Sees gun imagery in film marketing as common; argues music faces stricter scrutiny than other entertainment forms.
    • Notes double standards for artists crossing from music to film.
  • Social responsibility and art: 50 Cent says he reflects his environment and writes truthfully about it; he acknowledges a responsibility but resists being censored.
  • Career pressure and public perception:
    • Says biggest risk is losing focus; personal discipline is what can hurt him.
    • On awards and recognition: prioritizes measurable success (sales/airplay). Prefers Billboard/ASCAP recognitions because they’re data-driven.
  • On Kanye West: 50 Cent says Kanye benefited from a more “palatable” image and industry politics; respects Kanye’s honesty.
  • Acting and movie details:
    • Get Rich or Die Tryin' is “about 75% factual”; soundtrack and film used to deepen fan connection to his backstory.
    • Filming taught him subtleties of acting vs. performing in music videos.
  • Business ventures & release dates mentioned:
    • Soundtrack: November 8 (mentioned)
    • Movie: November 9 (mentioned)
    • Sneaker (RBK G63): installation/launch Nov 10 (mentioned)
    • Video game (Bulletproof): Nov 15
    • Unit watches in stores: Nov 22

Notable 50 Cent lines:

  • “I write music that's a reflection of the environment that I come from.”
  • “Can't nobody do nothing to me that hurts my situation outside of myself… That's me not being focused.”

Michelle — divorced caller’s ring dilemma

  • Situation: Michelle divorced after 7 years. Ex (31) asks for her wedding ring (or diamond) to give to his new, much younger girlfriend as a wedding/Christmas gift, offering to clear an alleged $1,300 overpayment/arrears in exchange.
  • Complicating facts:
    • Michelle kept ring for sentimental reasons for her children.
    • Ex’s story changed (first wanted full ring, later said he only needs the diamond).
    • Michelle currently owes the ex about $1,300 (repayment of overpaid child support) and he proposes the ring trade to “settle.”
  • Radio feedback / advice given:
    • Strong consensus: do not give the whole ring without protections.
    • Practical options suggested:
      • Get any agreement in writing before giving anything.
      • Give only the diamond (keep the band) — have it documented.
      • Replace the diamond and keep the band (so children retain the symbolic band).
      • If ring value is low (caller estimated ~$200), some recommended trading it if properly documented.
      • Legal recourse: let him sue (unlikely to be cost-effective for him).
  • Actionable advice summary for Michelle:
    • Don’t cave without a written, notarized agreement clearing debt.
    • Prefer giving only the stone or a replaced stone to preserve the band for kids.
    • If unsure, consult child-support records and consider legal advice before transferring sentimental items.

Dina — “malach” (Italian curse) & singing-telegram business

  • Dina claims an Italian “malach” (evil eye/curse) was placed on her when she was young after her protective horn broke; family rituals allegedly confirmed it.
  • She links a string of misfortunes (premature birth, husband’s drug problems, a son once thought to have immune deficiency that later was negated) to the curse.
  • She’s starting a singing-telegram business (“Poetic Justice”) and has begun booking clients; radio show offered to run free live segments if callers use the service on air.
  • Anecdotes include finding a dead homeless man on South Cobb Drive and performing singing telegrams for diverse requests (including one extreme request: a woman declaring attraction to her boyfriend’s brother).

Kathy — live radio intervention: snooze-alarm problem

  • Problem: Kathy’s husband Shane repeatedly hits snooze every five minutes, waking her multiple times; she wants him to stop.
  • On-air solution: Burt Show performs a playful singing-telegram wake-up to Shane to highlight the issue.
  • Outcome: Shane heard the message live; interaction intended to be humorous and corrective.

Notable quotes & soundbites

  • 50 Cent: “I write music that's a reflection of the environment that I come from.”
  • 50 Cent on awards: “Billboard is…based on facts, these are based on stats, these are based on money.”
  • On art and responsibility: 50 Cent points out film marketing commonly uses gun imagery and music is treated differently.
  • Live radio moment: Singing wake-up for “snooze snooze snooze” — humorous, practical on-air intervention.

Main takeaways

  • Celebrity perspective: 50 Cent frames his film and soundtrack as extensions of his brand and as marketing tools to deepen fan understanding; he defends creative choices and resists selective scrutiny aimed at music artists.
  • Practical advice wins on radio: For emotionally charged, legal-ish dilemmas (like Michelle’s ring), the best protections are documentation and limiting what you give away (stone vs. band) rather than impulsive concessions.
  • Radio format value: The show blends celebrity insight, listener engagement, and immediate problem-solving (e.g., live singing-telegram wake-up), which resonates with audiences wanting both entertainment and tangible help.

Who should listen / read this summary

  • Fans of 50 Cent or listeners curious about the interplay between music, film, and branding.
  • People facing messy breakup/asset disputes — useful practical advice about protecting sentimental items via written agreements.
  • Radio producers and hosts looking for examples of live problem-solving and audience-driven content.

Quick action items (for people featured or in similar situations)

  • If trading a sentimental item for debt relief: get a signed, written agreement; consider exchanging only the stone or replacing a stone.
  • For artists moving into film: prepare for different public scrutiny levels and use film projects strategically to expand your narrative and fan engagement.
  • For partners with repetitive morning conflicts: clear, direct conversation plus a creative nudge (e.g., playful public reminder) can reset habits — but follow up with boundaries if needed.
