Notable Quote:

• Melissa (24:00): “Seven eggs, I’m proud of that. The embryos today, I’m proud of that. And if they turn into children or not, that’s not up to me. That’s nature’s decision.”

[26:31–37:43]

A follow-up to a controversial call from “Megan,” a mom who disapproves of her son’s prom date based on popularity and physical appearance (“she’s just a little, you know, beneath him”—Megan, 27:04).

Developments:

• Megan reveals her son chose his date for her humor and “rapport,” but confesses he didn’t think the more popular girl would say yes. She encourages him to switch dates now that “his confidence” is higher.
• The show and mounting callers take Megan to task for her superficiality and parenting ethics.
  • Andrea (31:01): “Shame on her. … How would she like it if he got dumped for someone better?”
  • Rachel (31:40): “Does she understand how weird and disgusting her obsession is with who her son goes to prom with?”
  • Melissa (30:26): “Only commit to the pretty girls. That’s what she’s teaching him.”
• The cast stresses empathy, the importance of honoring commitments, and the harm of undermining another girl’s feelings for the sake of social status.
  • Bert (30:54): “Look at this from prom date number one’s standpoint… At some point he has to make the call to her and say, you know what, I’m taking somebody else. That’s jacked up. How can you endorse that as a parent?”
  • Jen Hobby (33:54): “You don’t have to insult her to get the point across… What she’s doing in and of itself is, is terrible.”
• Callers and the crew universally advocate for letting teens make—and stick to—their own choices.

5. “Chasing Chelsea”: Jen Hobby’s Celebrity Quest

[39:46–45:18]

Theme:
Jen launches her “Chasing Chelsea” mission to meet and hang out with comedian Chelsea Handler. She asks for listeners’ help finding professional or “friend-of-a-friend” connections during Chelsea’s upcoming Atlanta show.

• Jen is open to any approach—chance meetings, set-ups, or personal recommendations.

Memorable Exchange:

• Bert (43:18): “You want something a little deeper than this.”
• The team makes light of Bert’s past “creepy” pursuit of Bono, affirming “don’t cross the line” but aim for real fan meet-ups.

[Bert]

Here is the deal. Everybody has like a story in their past, or most of us do. That is so unbelievable that you just stop telling the story. Because a quarter of the way through it, when you're telling your friends, you can see that they don't believe you anymore.

[Host - Advertiser]

Nah, that's not true is what they say.

[Jen Hobby]

Right?

[Bert]

Right.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

What did you think she was questioning you?

[Bert]

I'm not really sure where she was going. I thought she was saying, no, not everybody has a story like that. So 40474 we are not allowed to say we don't believe your story, Right? But we are taking a leap of faith and we believe what you're about to Tell us is absolutely true. And we'll start with Jeff here again. 404-741. Q100. Because whenever Jeff starts to tell the story, you can see especially dude's eyes go, whatever.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And women. And I never even. I don't even bother to tell it.

[Jen Hobby]

Okay.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Telling it is pointless. That's how unbelievable it is. But the very first time that I ever, like, really hooked up, you know how the evolution of boy girl relationship is, you know, like, let's go behind the garage and kiss luck are braces. Yeah. And then, you know, and then there might be kind of like the prolonged kiss, but it's not really the make out type thing. And then when you get to the point where you're full on, like, then it's like you realize something's happening. Yeah. You're finding out the differences between boys and girls. That one. The first time that ever happened for me, there were two girls there.

[Jen Hobby]

No way.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You can't say that.

[Bert]

Oh, yeah, right. So the very first time that you ever were approached for sex was by two girls.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yes.

[Jen Hobby]

It wasn't full, was it? Fully. All the way. A home run around all the bases.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

We were not able to accomplish that.

[Bert]

But your very first sexual experience was a threesome.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

That would be the right way to say it.

[Jen Hobby]

Were they older than you?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Nope.

[Jen Hobby]

They were your age. Wow.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And their names were Heidi and Wendy.

[Jen Hobby]

That never happens.

[Host - Advertiser]

That wasn't me.

[Jen Hobby]

Really?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Vert. Can't say it. Look, it. He wants to. The name adds. The name adds to it.

[Jen Hobby]

Because we're saying liar.

[Bert]

No,

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

those are like the porn star DVD names.

[Bert]

Right.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Like, if you were gonna pick names and make a DVD about this. I get every detail about it now that I'm saying it.

[Jen Hobby]

Sexual experience was a threesome.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yes. Wow.

[Bert]

That is really, really cool.

[Jen Hobby]

All right, so we have to say. We have to say during the segment that we believe everybody.

[Bert]

We believe everybody.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

But after the segment.

[Host - Advertiser]

Well, I don't believe that my name

[Jen Hobby]

is a poor name, but thanks for coming.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Oh, sorry. And if you really want to expand upon it, you can. It happened at summer camp.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You know where I went? Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

Come on.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And it happened just one time at summer camp. Exactly.

[Bert]

So great, Jeff. Fantastic.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Thanks, Sandy.

[Bert]

Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Listener]

Hi. Hey.

[Bert]

Hey. All right. We are absolutely going to believe your story no matter how over the top it is.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, well, you may be like the first then ever, but it's true. I was nine years old. I was in fourth grade. I was really, really sick. I had an appendicitis the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. So I was sick and vomiting for probably three months before I was diagnosed. But I was really sick in bed. One day my mother's in the bedroom and all of a sud sudden I'm looking down at myself in the bed, my mother's there. And it's like I'm sitting on my curtain rail and the phone rings. My mother leaves the room and I'm still floating in on the ceiling and it's my fourth grade teacher. My mother tells me this later. At the time I didn't know who answered the, you know, who was on the phone, but it's my fourth grade teacher. She says, you need to come to school and pick Sandy up. She's running up and down the halls with the bathroom pass. She's non responsive to anything I say to her and she's just acting like a crazy girl. So apparently I left my body and went to school. Now, I don't know why I did that, but my fourth grade teacher always remembered that. And I still know her to this day. And she remembers that she didn't believe my mother that I wasn't at school, you know, so had an out of body experience in fourth grade.

[Bert]

Wow, wow, wow.

[Caller/Listener]

And you believe me, right?

[Bert]

Yes, we do believe you. Yes, we do.

[Jen Hobby]

No worries.

[Bert]

All right, thank you for calling.

[Caller/Listener]

You're welcome. Bye bye.

[Bert]

I really do believe in stuff like that.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Yeah, I believe that that's way more

[Bert]

believable than your story.

[Jen Hobby]

You can't say that during this segment.

[Melissa]

Unbelievable.

[Bert]

Good morning, Rebecca, you're on Q100.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey guys, I actually, my car was stolen off the back of a tow truck.

[Bert]

Oh, your car was stolen?

[Caller/Listener]

Broke down, called my mechanic, he came to pick it up. It was Memorial Day weekend. That Friday night he got it up there, figured out what was wrong and he came in the next morning on Saturday, 7:30am Called me and said that it was stolen along with his tow truck.

[Melissa]

Oh, so the whole thing.

[Jen Hobby]

Do you not believe him or does everybody else believe you?

[Caller/Listener]

It happened. It happened. I finally retrieved the car. The dumb criminal stole one check out of the tow truck checkbook and tried to cash it. Just an idiotic criminal.

[Bert]

Okay, I believe that one.

[Caller/Listener]

Sure.

[Bert]

We believe.

[Jen Hobby]

We believe.

[Host - Advertiser]

We believe.

[Bert]

Thank you. Good morning, Mike, you are on Q100.

[Caller/Listener]

Morning guys. What's going on?

[Bert]

You tell us.

[Caller/Listener]

Well, this is one of these stories where no one ever believes me.

[Bert]

No sweat, dude. We're here to believe.

[Caller/Listener]

Every day at recess, I would go out to this tunnel well, this girl had a nice big playground. There was a lot of different things out there. And way in the back corner was this tunnel. Cement tunnels, like a culvert. No one ever went out there. This girl named Laura would take me out there and perform sexual acts on me.

[Jen Hobby]

And how old were you?

[Caller/Listener]

Five or six. Whoa.

[Jen Hobby]

And how old was she?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Is she still your favorite teacher?

[Caller/Listener]

No, no, no.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

She was a student.

[Caller/Listener]

One of the girls in the class.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Oh, okay.

[Bert]

At five or six years old.

[Jen Hobby]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

I had no idea what I was doing. I mean, she pretty much controlled it. She tried to get me to do things to her, but I had no idea what I was doing.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Jen Hobby]

Wow. Do you know if she. You were in what grade?

[Caller/Listener]

It was kindergarten.

[Jen Hobby]

I don't want to believe you.

[Bert]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Jen Hobby]

That's sad, because she learned that somewhere.

[Bert]

She probably didn't know what she was doing either, right?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, no, she told me. What? I mean, she was trying to tell me what to do, and I obviously wasn't doing it. Right.

[Jen Hobby]

She either learned something too early or was abused. Right.

[Bert]

Oh, poor little thing. Yeah.

[Jen Hobby]

If she knew what that was at five.

[Bert]

I'm with Wendy. I don't want to believe it. Right.

[Jen Hobby]

Oh, man.

[Bert]

I don't know if I. I'm sad for you, actually.

[Caller/Listener]

I never told my mother or anybody about it.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Wow.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Jen Hobby]

Well, now everybody knows, and everybody believes you, right?

[Caller/Listener]

Nope. Because my name's not Mike.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

I don't believe you.

[Caller/Listener]

That sucks, Mike.

[Bert]

Appreciate it, man.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Jen Hobby]

That's freak.

[Bert]

Sad. That's sad.

[Jen Hobby]

I still don't believe Jeff.

[Bert]

Jeff is the one that you don't believe. Right?

[Jen Hobby]

Sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, I believe.

[Bert]

Can we call one of those girls just to get confirmation?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

I have desperately tried to remember their last names because I would want to Facebook them just to bring memories back, and I honestly can't. I might. I. I could get all CSI on it and work my way backwards to. Cause I know what high school they went to and what school they were in.

[Jen Hobby]

I just want to know if you could find them.

[Bert]

I just want to hear her say, yes, the story is absolutely true.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

It would have to be the Heidi, because she is definitely. She was out and about. More so, because I think it was one of Wendy's first times as well. Not you, Wendy, but it was a different Wendy.

[Jen Hobby]

Sorry.

[Host - Advertiser]

Me with that.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

The Birch Show.

[Bert]

Tell me about this urban legend coming out of Athens now. Cause people aren't buying it. They weren't buying it early.

[Jen Hobby]

It's freaky.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Then disprove It. That's all I'm saying. Because it's local Snopes, right? Because spring break, College spring break for UGA was a week or two ago. And this story happened over spring break, supposedly. Now, maybe it was spring break a couple years ago. Maybe it's a plot of a movie. That's what we're asking for. Debunk or prove this story. But a girl is at spring break. She obviously lives on campus at uga. And, you know, spring break, there's distinct groups of spring breakers. There's the partiers, you know, the people who go and tear it up down in Panama City or Mexico. Then there's the people who go home and reunite with all their friends back at home. There's the service group. And then they go build houses wherever. And then there's the stragglers who don't leave campus. They're hanging out on campus, and they're just doing their own thing. This girl, this UGA student, is a straggler. She stays on campus, and she says she's gonna do a few things while she's gonna catch up on work, clean her apartment. She's gonna start taking pictures. Cause she wants to be an artist. So she's gonna take advantage of the empty campus to take pictures of, like, UGA architecture and grounds and stuff like that. She's got big plans. So spring break comes and goes. She's there by herself because all of her other friends went and built houses or partied it up or went home. So she enjoyed the solitude. Her friends come back from spring break, and they're all gathered around. And they pull the memory card out of their cameras. And they're going through the pictures of Cancun and all this stuff. And everybody's sharing pictures. And this girl thinks it's funny. Would be funny to say, well, do you guys want to see what I did? Because she took pictures as well. But her pictures were like. Of the hedges at the stadium, the library doors, the architecture on the corner of one of the old UGA buildings. So she thinks that's gonna be funny. So she puts her card in, and she starts scrolling through these comparatively boring pictures of Athens. A deserted Athens. So she's scrolling through, and she's like, oh, this is on the first day I took this, this, this. Then she gets to a picture of herself sleeping. And there's three or four pictures of herself sleeping. Then the next day, there's a whole bunch more pictures of the. The campus. Then there's a couple more pictures of her sleeping.

[Bert]

So somebody went into her room, took pictures of her while she was sleeping

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

with her own camera back.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

So she's in an apartment on a college campus, all alone.

[Host - Advertiser]

Alone.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Her roommates have all left. And while she was asleep, someone took pictures of her with her own camera.

[Bert]

This does have, like, urban legend written all over.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

We talked about it earlier. Nobody. I was convinced people are going to cop and go, oh, that's a. You know, that's a plot line from saw2 or something like that.

[Bert]

Someone's gonna call up and say it was a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. 404-741. Q100.

[Jen Hobby]

Isn't that so freaky, though, to think about if it was true?

[Bert]

But, I mean, wouldn't you, like. Maybe. Cause I'm a really sensitive sleeper. I'd wake up as soon as the flash goes off, I'm up.

[Jen Hobby]

I wouldn't.

[Bert]

You wouldn't? No.

[Jen Hobby]

I can sleep through a train going through my living room.

[Bert]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

It's freaky.

[Host - Advertiser]

I want to know who the lurker is, especially if it's true.

[Jen Hobby]

So freaky. And the only calls we got earlier this morning when Jeff talked about it early, is that people thought she took the pictures of herself, like, with a timer, and was trying to freak out her friends.

[Bert]

Could be. Or if we get, like, a bunch of calls from people saying that happened at their school 10 years ago also, then to me, that means it's urban legend.

[Jen Hobby]

But it wouldn't have been 10 years ago, because digital cameras. Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

It has to have happened over the

[Bert]

last couple of years or what have

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

you since that technology.

[Bert]

It would freak you out.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

It's scary, but that's like. Goosebumps.

[Bert]

Anybody?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Hey. Oops.

[Caller/Listener]

Hello?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

Hello? Hi, this is Ashley. I'm calling from Athens.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Oh, hey, Ashley. How are you?

[Caller/Listener]

Good.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

What's going on?

[Caller/Listener]

I feel 99.9% sure that that's an urban legend, because I heard the same story years ago about the Appalachian Trail.

[Bert]

What'd you hear?

[Caller/Listener]

So some friends of mine were going to hike the Appalachian Trail, and that was the big scary story that everyone told them, that there was a girl who was hiking the Appalachian Trail when she got home, for every night that she was on the trail by herself, there was pictures of herself sleeping.

[Bert]

Okay. All right. So.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

So it is an eye legend.

[Bert]

The parts are always there, but, you know, the specifics are always different. Okay, thank you.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

That's a common story that we're getting. Hey, Josie.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, good morning.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

What's going on?

[Caller/Listener]

I actually heard this story when I was at camp in high school, but it was with a hiker and her dog and she was up there taking pictures and everything. And I don't know if she was on spring break or what, but she was by herself. And when she got the pictures developed, it was of her sleeping and her dog.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

It makes more sense to be an older story because the digital camera, my thing when I first heard it was who doesn't scroll back and look at the pictures? You know, who doesn't scroll back and like. And she would stumble across it while she was during the week.

[Bert]

Right. You know, and this is how these urban legends build. They start years ago and then one, you know, as they evolve over the years, you just put in your own nouns and.

[Jen Hobby]

Right. You change it up a little bit

[Bert]

to be more modern and it becomes local. Right.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

The bird show.

[Host - Advertiser]

[Bert]

You're on the Burt show yesterday.

[Melissa]

I was out because, long story short, because Bert just came in. Hey, Bert. To update him on what's been going on. But it was a couple years ago that Katie and I started discussing children. And one of the things that Katie wanted was to include my DNA, to include my offspring in our brood, a potential brood. So she said, I'd like you to consider freezing your eggs so that we can use them. We learned that it's better to freeze embryos than freezing eggs because it's because they're more resilient. They are proven to be able to be frozen and unfrozen and used, and eggs are not proven to have as much of. So in the past couple years, we have not only found the sperm donor, but we have also had to save money for it because our insurance does not cover this procedure, which is very expensive. And so the past six weeks I've been going through the process of getting hormones. The basic premise of IVF is, and Jen brought up a good point earlier, that we usually don't hear about it unless it's Octomom or Kate Gosselin, because a lot of couples don't want to talk about it because it's either straight

[Jen Hobby]

couples don't talk about it at all. It's like some sort of like, forbidden secret that nobody's allowed to know they're doing in vitro.

[Bert]

What's the taboo with it?

[Melissa]

I think there's a sense of failure. Either he has a low sperm count or she does not have a high egg count or high egg potential. And so I think a lot of couples don't want anybody to know because it is fascinating. Even when I've been to the fertility clinic and gone into the lobby and sat in the lobby, like Katie and I are the ones talking and joking Having a good time. And, you know, and all the other couples are usually very solemn and very quiet.

[Jen Hobby]

Don't have anybody in the eye.

[Melissa]

They don't even sometimes don't look each other in the eye. I mean, it is an awkward thing.

[Bert]

They're probably years into trying. So I tried traditionally for so long and went through that very frustrating period. And then the sad period of realizing it can't happen that way. So they're so far ahead of this.

[Melissa]

They're so emotionally drained. Yeah, they're so emotionally drained by the time they're in the lobby. But yeah. So it is to me a fascinating because I've never really delved into this. So it's a fascinating process and I love science that they can do this for these couples and for us. And so for six weeks I've been doing shots and pills to basically tell my body, you know what, at this ovulation, don't make one egg, make as many as you can. And so yesterday I went through the procedure of going to grab those eggs. And it's a surgical procedure where I had to have anesthesia and they went, you know, they, they went through, you know, my female parts to go get them. And. And so we found out yesterday that I produced seven eggs.

[Bert]

That's a lot, right?

[Melissa]

And that is a good number, especially for a 40 year old. I gotta say that I loved also the fact they were bragging on me because they're like, that's above average for my age. So thank you very much. Always, always a competition, honey.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

You can spend two years on Farmville taking care of all your crops and still not come up with seven eggs.

[Melissa]

That's right. That's right.

[Bert]

That's a full starting basketball team and two players coming off the bench.

[Melissa]

Hello.

[Jen Hobby]

That's awesome.

[Melissa]

But now the thing that happened yesterday is they took those eggs and then I went home and then they put the sperm and the egg together and they put it in a petri dish. So today I will find out.

[Jen Hobby]

And the sperm is from somebody that you both selected.

[Melissa]

That we both selected.

[Jen Hobby]

It is somebody you know.

[Melissa]

It is somebody we know. And so we will find out today which seven eggs started splitting, started actually becoming an embryo. And then those embryos are the ones that they will put in the freezer. So there's a likelihood that not all seven will make it, but we will find out today which of the seven will make it. Hopefully any of the seven will make it into the freezer. And those are our potential children.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Jen Hobby]

And then you have to talk about later the later plan for implantation and what you said Kati said to you

[Melissa]

when y' all were going to bed last night. Yeah, so I, you know, I am in my 40s now. I mean, I can say that I am in my 40s now and also a kidney transplant recipient. So we've made the decision not going to carry because there were even concerns throughout this process. Everything we had to do, including yesterday, the anesthesiologist and the doctor doing the procedure, and my nephrologist, my kidney doctor were all having to coordinate together to make sure I could even take some of the anesthesia because I haven't had anesthesia since my transplant. So I was mentally concerned throughout the whole process of how it was going to affect my kidney. And I thought, I cannot be pregnant and then be worried the whole time about this. There's plenty of women who are transplant recipients of all organs that are or successfully carry a baby. But we just decided that for the combination of the age.

[Jen Hobby]

So you've got two women, you got an option.

[Melissa]

We have an option. So we decided that I'm not going to be the one to carry it. So last night, Katie, who's just been. She's been wonderful. And yesterday there were tears and there weren't tears because I keep telling her to wait until they're in the freezer before we pop the champagne because we have a champagne bottle ready for tonight. And so she last night said, you know what? You realize that since that you're not going to get pregnant, that you've done everything you've got can as a woman to reproduce, like, except, you know, not raise the children. But when it comes to physically reproducing,

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

she doesn't want you to raise the children.

[Bert]

If you want to go right to the raising stage, you could take Olive for the next three weeks if you like.

[Melissa]

You know what? I went through a lot to get these eggs out. So if I can, I'm going to use these eggs that I've worked so hard, but. Oh, another thing. And then that one of the things that they can do that I requested is they can take pictures of the embryos. Oh yeah.

[Bert]

So neat.

[Melissa]

So our first family portrait is going however many. They're gonna take a picture of them before they put em in the freezer.

[Bert]

That's great.

[Melissa]

So I will share those too.

[Jen Hobby]

It's been like, really, really fascinating following. And I told Melissa earlier, like, I'm so proud of you for sharing and being so honest with this, like, typically very private process, you know, because there is some Vulnerability, Actually, a lot of vulnerability in it and in sharing, in sharing the process. But we've gotten to learn so much, like, along the way, because you've been able to be vulnerable about this. And, like, you're gonna tell us, like, how many embryos go, and then, like, when you. Eventually, however many years down the road it is that you guys do the in vitro, like, whether it takes or not.

[Melissa]

Right? And like I said, it's a potential.

[Jen Hobby]

There's potential disappointment in that, and there's

[Melissa]

a lot of comfortability in that.

[Jen Hobby]

And so I commend you for being so honest and, like, bringing everybody into that process, because that's hard to do.

[Melissa]

Well, I didn't share with. And thank you, Jen. I didn't share with these guys until last week that I was doing this, because it wasn't until last Thursday that we had the go or no go, you know, because I've done the hormones for this long. But some women, the hormones don't take, and they don't grow eggs, and they can't go to this point. So it was Thursday when they started scheduling the last part of the process. And that's when I shared it with you guys, because I'm like, well, at least now there's hope that I can do it. And then yesterday was a huge deal because so many elements have to come together for the procedure to even take place. And we did it. And like I said today, I'll find out if I got any embryos. And then, like Jen said, in a couple years, whenever we decide to have children, that. But that's another part of the step and that hopefully the embryos will take, because it could be this is all for nothing, but to me. But Kati and I were like, it's not all for nothing, because we are celebrating every phase of it. So seven eggs, I'm proud of that. The embryos today, I'm proud of that. And if they turn into children or not, that's not up to me. That's nature's decision. Yeah, absolutely.

[Bert]

I'm gonna go online today and seriously taking a sex ed class or test to see how well I do, because throughout this whole process, well, you got

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

two kids, so you know something.

[Bert]

But, I mean, that's the basics. Throughout you talking about this entire thing, I have sat here embarrassed now for weeks, really not knowing exactly how the whole process works. Either I never knew it or I've forgotten it. But I'm going online today to see how bad I am.

The bird show all right. Again, to refresh your memory, this was Megan from yesterday.

[Caller/Listener]

My son. It's his junior prom coming up. My son's quite popular actually And I've been waiting to find out who he was gonna bring the prom. And I have to say, I was a little disappointed with what? She doesn't have very many friends on Facebook and she's just a little bit overweight and a little, you know, I just feel like she's just a little, you know, beneath him.

[Bert]

So that's how it all started yesterday.

[Jen Hobby]

Beneath him.

[Bert]

She really had no real details on what this girl was like except what was posted on Facebook.

[Host - Advertiser]

Very superficial.

[Jen Hobby]

And then we just gave her the

[Host - Advertiser]

assignment yesterday just to go talk to her son about why he chose this girl.

[Jen Hobby]

Not anything else, not to persuade him.

[Host - Advertiser]

But her only task last night was just to talk to him and ask him why. No further question.

[Caller/Listener]

Just one.

[Bert]

I think we even gave her the line. It was like, hey, so tell me about this girl. You're taking a prom. That's it?

[Melissa]

That's it.

[Bert]

That's all she had to do, right? Good morning, Megan. You're back on The Burke Show Q100. How are you?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm good. How are you guys?

[Bert]

Good. Okay. You had one simple assignment last night. One question that you probably should have asked your son already is, so what is it about this girl that you're digging so much that you're going to prom with her?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I did ask him about the girl that he asked to prom and pulled up her Facebook page with him and he just said, you know, they are in a class together, I guess, and she's funny and I don't know, they had a good rapport or whatever. And so he just ended up asking her to prom. He didn't really have, you know, a ton to say about her, but while we were looking at the Facebook or whatever, I saw this other girl had posted something on his wall. And so I asked him about that girl and he kind of, you know, I was, you know, I liked her. She was pretty. She had some more friends. She seemed like, you know, a little bit more involved in school activities, etc. And I asked him about her and he. He did actually say that she was the girl he actually wanted to ask to prom, but he didn't think that she would say yes, so he had asked this other girl instead. Okay, I was right. Really? I mean, right about what?

[Host - Advertiser]

Right about what?

[Caller/Listener]

Right about. I mean, it's a self esteem thing. He doesn't think that he is at the same level as the girl he really wants to ask, so he asked someone. That was a safer bet.

[Jen Hobby]

So do you feel like you have failed as a parent because his self confidence comes from the home.

[Caller/Listener]

No, because I'm doing my job as a parent right now to instill in him the self confidence that he needs to ask this other girl to prom.

[Bert]

There's one important piece of this whole thing missing here. Has he already asked the girl number one to the prom?

[Jen Hobby]

Yeah.

[Bert]

So what's your suggestion here? That now he. Now that he has this new confidence or that you're trying to instill this confidence that he should try to get your choice for prom date and blow off.

[Caller/Listener]

It's his choice. It's his choice.

[Bert]

He's already committed.

[Caller/Listener]

This was the girl that he really did want to ask? Yes, I told him that he should ask her. Well, then what do you and see

[Host - Advertiser]

then what are you teaching your son

[Melissa]

about commitment

[Caller/Listener]

to himself?

[Melissa]

Only commit to the pretty girls. That's what she's teaching him.

[Host - Advertiser]

Very shallow.

[Bert]

Yeah, he made a choice.

[Melissa]

Mom thinks this pretty.

[Bert]

He made it. Now, I want you to look at this because at some point you were in high school and some point you probably went to Promise and probably had a prom date. So look at this from prom date number one standpoint. She's all fired up to go to the prom with your son. And at some point, if your plan works out, he has to make the call to her and say, you know what? I'm taking somebody else.

[Jen Hobby]

Right?

[Bert]

That's jacked up. How can you endorse that as a parent?

[Caller/Listener]

She. There's plenty of time she can get somebody else to go with her.

[Jen Hobby]

Come on. What if she's my child?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm not looking out for her best interest. I'm looking out for my son's best interest.

[Jen Hobby]

That's not. That's so not fair.

[Bert]

That's so jacked up.

[Jen Hobby]

Can you remember being in high school? Can you put yourself back in those?

[Melissa]

She doesn't know because she's living through, vicariously through her son and her son's popularity and her son's day so that she can brag about who her son is going out with.

[Bert]

All right, let's get Andrea on the phone here. Good morning. You are on Q100. Andrea. Yes, go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

I was calling to say that this woman, I have been waiting to talk to her since yesterday, okay? She is just ridiculous. Shame on her. Shame, shame, shame. And now to hear her. Oh, my gosh. She wouldn't. How would she like if he asked this chick and then this chick decides to ask somebody that's better and then dump her son and then doesn't have any date at all?

[Jen Hobby]

That could Be what happens.

[Melissa]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Caller/Listener]

Shame on her. Yeah, Totally horrible.

[Bert]

All right, let's go to Rachel. Here, Rachel, you want in on this? Also here. Good Morning. You're on Q100. Hi.

[Caller/Listener]

You guys know, I wanted on this, like, since yesterday, I've been dying to talk to this lady. Does she understand how weird and disgusting her obsession is with her son? Goes to prom with, like, you're ridiculous. She probably was one of the girls that was really big and ugly and unattractive in high school, and this probably happened to her. So she's like, now I can live through my son. You're an idiot and you're disgusting. And that reason that you came up with, that's sad because you really think that's a reason? Oh, no, you guys, it's his self esteem that I'm worried about. No, it's not himself you're worried about. You're an idiot. She's an idiot. Give me a break. That's all.

[Melissa]

I'm just waiting for her response. What do you think about that?

[Caller/Listener]

She has nothing to say because she's an idiot. That's disgusting. Go do something else and stop worrying about who your son goes to prom with. That's your son. You know what I mean? Get a life. That's disgusting. On Facebook, looking at the girls he's going to prom with. Come on.

[Melissa]

Sitting there with her son, her teenage son on Facebook, and what do you think about this girl? What do you think about this girl? Yeah, that's so weird.

[Caller/Listener]

It's. It's totally weird. Like, I don't know if anyone notices how weird it actually is, but it's weird and disgusting and she should be embarrassed. Find something else to do.

[Bert]

Yeah, what she's doing is she's teaching her child that forget about an original commitment you can get out of anything that you want.

[Caller/Listener]

Right. She's teaching him a whole bunch of, like, stupidity right now. And I hope that he doesn't even pick up on how ignorant and dumb it is because it's stupid. It is. If I haven't said that already.

[Bert]

Did we lose the original caller or is she back now?

[Melissa]

We lost her. Well, and the thing is, I mean, there's so many. I mean, she's so shocked that guys will ask girls that will say yes to proms and that there's always a girl or two that is so popular that all the guys want to ask her and they're afraid to act. Like she thinks it's a new thing,

[Caller/Listener]

you know, she wasn't that Girl, that's why she wasn't that girl.

[Melissa]

Yeah, I kind of agree with that.

[Jen Hobby]

I mean I don't think we have to insult her to get the point across because whether she is insulting but you know what I'm saying, like I think you don't have to play on her level is what I'm saying to this caller. Like you don't have to go there because I think what she's doing in and of itself is, is terrible.

[Bert]

Let's get Julie on. Julie wants in on this also. Good morning Julie, you are on Q100. Hello, good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

I love y' all show.

[Melissa]

Thank you, thank you.

[Caller/Listener]

I just wanted to call and tell this mom that I don't thought I'm only 24. I wasn't that long ago from prom. Go with a friend. He's the boy is right making the choice to go with the girl from class that he likes. She's funny. He'll have a really good time with that girl and forget about that other girl who cares about her.

[Melissa]

Yeah, yeah. My concern also is that the fact that they are going to end up with the son. The son, like we said will end up with no date if he dumps this girl and then he tries to ask the girl out that his mom pushed him into trying to ask and then she's already got a date by this point. If guys are asking then he's going to end up with nobody and she's

[Bert]

going to jack up his reputation around school also because he's going to be the guy that pulls out of original date. She's going to tell all her friends and he's going to look like a tool.

[Melissa]

Right.

[Jen Hobby]

It's like the bachelor guy who dumped the girl on TV and went with number two.

[Melissa]

Yeah, you just don't do that.

[Jen Hobby]

But he's doing it in high school.

[Bert]

Life is so resembles the bachelor in everyday life.

[Jen Hobby]

Jeez, it's just astounding. Every day.

[Bert]

Good morning Q100.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Hey Rebecca.

[Caller/Listener]

Go ahead.

[Melissa]

Good.

[Caller/Listener]

I just wanted to tell this mom that she's completely insane. She calls herself a good mother. She's horrible. She is supposed to be an example for her son. I'm so glad he's not following in her footsteps. I mean prom is all about having, having fun and you know, enjoying it. Don't go with some stuck up girl. Go with someone that you're gonna have a good time with. She's just a horrible role model for

[Melissa]

her child and she's already sent messages to him by sitting with him last night.

[Jen Hobby]

You know Just too meddling. Like, she needs to, like, okay, so he asked a girl to prom, let him go to prom. Who cares, right? Who cares? Get a life. Get out of his life. And, you know, it's not like he picked some drug addict to take to prom or, you know, like, that's what I said yesterday. If this girl was, like, you know, underage drinking or there were, like, you know, pictures of her doing bad behavior on Facebook or whatever. I could see the mom having a concern and saying something, but just because she wasn't popular enough. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

[Melissa]

Right.

[Bert]

Here's Lisa. Good morning, Lisa.

[Caller/Listener]

Hi. Well, one of the things that this mom said is that this is. He's going to the junior prom. So I'm sure this is, like, his first prom. Usually the senior prom is the one where you're like, oh, this is so special because we're about to leave school and, you know, so maybe next year, like, you know, he'll take somebody. Not. I don't want to condone the mother's, but, like, maybe she'll take somebody more close to what she wants him to do or whatever. But this year, you know, this is probably his first one. He wants to take somebody funny and fun and have a good time and, you know, whatever. It's the junior prom, not the senior prom.

[Melissa]

Who cares if it was the senior promise? I see what you're saying, but I still think it's his choice, regardless of what year it is.

[Caller/Listener]

Absolutely. I definitely don't want to take that. That part out of it. I really am appalled at this mom, like, not teaching her son, like Bert said earlier, commitment. Like, when you say you're gonna do something, you're supposed to do it. And you can't just decide, well, I don't like you anymore, and I'm gonna do something else. I think that's appalling. And as a mom, she should be kind of ashamed of that, but that's her choice. But, you know, assist you in your prom, let him do what he wants, and, you know, better luck next year. Crazy mom.

[Bert]

He made his decision, and you gotta teach a little empathy here also. Like, how is she gonna feel, the girl gonna feel when she's dump,

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

that

[Caller/Listener]

she has no concept of the other girl? She's like, my only. My only responsibility is to my kid. Well, your kid decided to feel responsible for this other girl's feelings, but when he asked her to the prom. So therefore, there's a level of, like, don't be a crappy human being.

[Bert]

You know what I mean?

[Caller/Listener]

Like that's, that's, you know, I don't get that. I'm.

[Melissa]

But that doesn't make a good photo album for mall. That doesn't make a good photo album for mall.

The bird Show Jen Hobby has a goal this week.

[Jen Hobby]

I have a goal and we have titled it Chasing Chelsea. Because my goal is to hang out with Chelsea Handler this week. And this is selfish, selfish, selfish. And I know it. And I just am asking and begging for Yalls help with this. Chelsea Handler is probably my a number one favorite celeb and she's got a late night talk show on E called Chelsea Lately. I follow her on Twitter. I DVR her show because it comes on too late for us to watch it, you know, with our morning show schedule. So I'll watch it in the afternoons when I'm eating lunch. I just think she's hilarious. She does a standup comedy tour and she's, you know, all about promoting standup comedians from all around the country. She's just fantastic. She's an author. I've read her books. She's got a new book out and she's got a comedy tour right now and she's coming to Atlanta to the Fox. She's got two shows on Sunday and I already have tickets to the show. I'm going with one of my friends and so I know I'll be able to see the show. But I really want to be able to like hang out with her because in my mind, somehow we are gonna be BFFs, we are gonna be best friends forever.

[Bert]

So this is not. Is this a goal just to meet her, get an autograph and say hey or is this. And she hanging out here at Smith's this weekend having a beer that would be really cool.

[Host - Advertiser]

Not beer.

[Jen Hobby]

That would be like the ultimate vodka, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. We would have to have vodka straight on the rocks. I wanna introduce her to sweet Tea vodka, which I tried to do. Cause remember when we were in LA last year in May, Jeff and I actually got to go to the show and be audience members on the set of her show and got to meet her for like a couple of seconds. Like she said hi, we got the autograph, you know, copy of the book. That kind of cool stuff. But like, I wanna be able to like hang with her and whether she like totally rips on me and makes fun of me for the entire 10 minutes, I don even care.

[Bert]

So why can't you use the same connection that you use to get you into that show to help you here in Atlanta?

[Jen Hobby]

It's a through a work connection and that person no longer works here.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Jen Hobby]

And probably wouldn't want to help the Bird show.

[Bert]

Oh, really? What'd we do?

[Jen Hobby]

Because that person works now for a competitor.

[Bert]

Oh, okay. But even people that work for a competitor still like us better.

[Jen Hobby]

They still listen to us. Yeah, our connection's probably listening right now. Hey, if you still want to hook me up, that'd be awesome.

[Bert]

You know, we're not lying.

[Jen Hobby]

You know, you're not listening to your own show. You're so unresponsible.

[Bert]

He or she technically couldn't help us.

[Jen Hobby]

Probably couldn't help us out again this year. All right, so I have been asking the Burt show listeners for your help. So if you know anybody that works for Chelsea or you used to go to high school with her or a friend of a friend of yours knows her aunt. Yeah, I mean, like, whoever has the connections. I'm just asking personally for your help to get to meet her, because Bird did this with Bono, and you two. And you and your wife Stacey got to hang with Bono. A few years back, Jeff did this and made the plea to the Burch show listeners to meet Bon Jovi, and he did and got to hang with him. He ended up sort of botching the meeting and really creeping out Bon Jovi, but he actually got to do it.

[Bert]

You guys came through with it.

[Jen Hobby]

I am begging and pleading. Olivia Newton John from Melissa. She got surprised with that interview on the air and got to go backstage and, like, meet her and hang out with her, like, childhood idol. So, like, this is my current, like, favorite person in Hollywood. I swear, if I were a lesbian, I would want to marry her.

[Bert]

Okay, so now you guys are probably thinking, well, you're a radio station, and you're a fairly popular morning show, so you guys can work on these things yourselves. I mean, obviously, you know, you have venue connections or something like that. The truth of the matter is, you guys listening to the Burt show are way more connected in a lot of areas than we are. Definitely ours are professional, but you want something a little deeper than this.

[Jen Hobby]

Yeah, I want to be able to know, like, can we have a martini? Like, hanging out at her hotel bar? Like, that would be the coolest.

[Bert]

Like, I know when I was doing this and I was begging for you guys to hook me up with Bono. Like, one of you emailed me and said that you knew his personal assistant. So you gave me details of. Of where he was gonna be at what time so I could spontaneously run into him. Another one of you guys emailed me, and you told me what hotel he was staying in, and you told me what floor he was gonna Be on. So I thought that's creepy. So I asked Stacey and I got a hotel room that night on that floor. Cause we knew what he was, where he was staying.

[Jen Hobby]

You might just be going to the Ice Bucket at the same time.

[Bert]

Who knows?

[Caller/Listener]

Right?

[Bert]

So those are the kind of leads we're looking for here.

[Jen Hobby]

Exactly.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

And then didn't you put little flakes of your blood on his USA Today outside of his hotel room door just so he would touch your DNA?

[Bert]

We need to be together. Right?

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Perfect.

[Jen Hobby]

See, I don't want to be creepy like that. I definitely don't want to be creepy. I just want to be able to have a chance, have a drink with her or hang out with her or have lunch or whatever.

[Bert]

So are you looking for somebody to set you up with a chance meeting? Like, look, we know she's going to be at the st. Regis after 10 o' clock on Saturday night. Or do you want somebody that can put the connection together for you and say, hey, this is Jen Hobby, she's on the radio here and she's a real big fan of yours.

[Jen Hobby]

I mean, I'm looking for anything, like any, any connection that you might have, whether it's a chance meeting or whether it's actually setting it up. I just want to be able to figure out like how to hang with her. Either way, it doesn't matter.

[Bert]

You talked about this a couple of days ago. So you got a couple of like.

[Jen Hobby]

Yeah, we mentioned it. Quasi leads yesterday we talked about my chasing Chelsea Quest. And I did get a couple of emails. One from a Birch show listener named Phil who thinks that he, his friend, could be maybe her manager.

[Co-host - Possibly Jeff]

Okay.

[Jen Hobby]

But he's not sure. This is a friend that maybe he hasn't been in touch with for a while. And then another Bert show listener who called us yesterday and he said that he's connected to one of the comedians who's consistently on her show and may be on tour with her.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Jen Hobby]

And so those are a couple of the connections, but nothing is firm yet. They've just reached out to me to say I'm working on my leads.

[Bert]

Okay. Hey, the Birch Show.
