About this listen

1. SEGMENT ONE — The Week That Was Highlights

  • Montage or recap clip reel: highlights, lowlights, and bloopers from the week’s radio show.
  • Transition: “One thing that didn’t make it into the reel — we have to talk about ‘The Bird Theory.’”

2. SEGMENT TWO — The Bird Theory

Topic: Viral TikTok trend testing how attentive your partner is.

Setup:

  • Explain the trend: Say “I saw a bird today” to your significant other and gauge their reaction.
  • Do they engage? (Attentive, loving)
  • Do they dismiss it? (Maybe distracted or disinterested)

Experiments:

  • J.R.’s experience with Kristin
  • Recorded her reaction.
  • She engaged sweetly (“I saw one too! Was it a peacock?”).
  • Hosts react — heartwarming, thoughtful, and hilarious.
  • Launa’s experience with Paul
  • Tried it while he was doing football picks.
  • His response: “Did you shoot it?” followed by flipping her the bird.
  • Big laugh from the crew — total opposite result from J.R.’s.
  • Discussion about timing, love languages, and humor in relationships.

Wrap-up Discussion:

  • Compare reactions — engagement vs. distraction.
  • Relationship insight: maybe timing and context matter more than theory!
  • Listeners encouraged to try it with their own partners and share results.

3. SEGMENT THREE — Halloween Talk

Topic: Costumes, kids, and family Halloween chaos.

Kevin’s Household:

  • Jake (12): SpongeBob inflatable costume.
  • Olivia (13): Darla from Finding Nemo with fake fish props.

Launa’s Household:

  • Her kids doing inflatable shark costumes.
  • Haunted house setup in the neighborhood — kids prefer scaring over trick-or-treating.

J.R.’s Family:

  • Toddler Parker = flamingo costume.
  • J.R. = Hawaiian shirt or Flamingo jacket to match.
  • Reminisce about the viral cranberry juice skateboard video where the jacket first appeared.

Hosts Banter:

  • Talk about funny trends:
  • K-Pop Demon Hunters, LaBooBoo dolls, inflatable dinos.
  • Kids outgrowing trick-or-treating and preferring haunted houses.
  • Parents’ joy (and exhaustion) on Halloween night.

4. SEGMENT FOUR — Throwback: The Flamingo Jacket

  • J.R. tells the story of his iconic flamingo suit — the dinner in Hawaii, Jake Owen “copying” the look, and the viral meme connection.
  • Nostalgic, funny, and personal moment that ties the episode’s playful energy together.
