2. American Idol Auditions & Atlanta Pride

[14:26–24:43, 38:28–44:56]

• Setting the Stage: Atlanta shined on American Idol, with many hopefuls advancing to Hollywood. The Bert Show reacts to the show’s editing, which alternated shots of the Georgia Dome and the W Midtown as if they were one location. [38:28–39:14]

Christy Marie’s Audition Recap

• Clip Playback: Christy Marie, a contestant herself, reflects on her rocky Pat Benatar audition (“Love is a Battlefield”), her nerves in front of idol Mary J. Blige, and how the negative TV edit led to a positive boost for her local media career.
  • “I just cannot believe that…that’s what came out. But the good thing is it all happens for a reason, because now…I'm the happiest girl in the world. I feel like the luckiest girl in the A right now.” — Christy Marie [16:53–17:43]

• Debate: Should friends/family be brutally honest with dreamers who might not ‘have the goods’? [42:13–43:24]

[25:45–37:29]

• Topic Spawn: Inspired by an earlier segment, listeners email about getting “doctored up”—matching underwear, best shoes—for their annual gynecologist visit.
• Email from Claire: She wonders if women should be “clean shaven” for childbirth, sparking a lively, irreverent debate. [27:02–27:47]
  • Key Callers:
    • Some say shave for “health reasons”; others suggest waxing or not worrying since hospitals may do it. [29:44–37:07]
    • Best friends/husbands shaving for their pregnant partners? Most say they’d be too freaked out. [32:03–37:15]
  • Memorable Analogy:
    • “Be like that game Operation.” — Ryan/Main Host [34:21]
  • Funny Callbacks:
    • “Would it make a difference if she was pregnant or not? Would you be able to do that?” — Jeff [32:54]

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

for somebody that was in a pretty cush job. You're making a ton of cash, I mean, maybe in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? And you decide that you want to do your own thing or you want to follow your own passion. And I don't know what that is. It could be rebuilding homes in third world countries, whatever. So you gave up all that cash. What I think is really admirable and you wanted to do what was in your heart, so you did it. What's in Simon's heart is he wants to do his own show, he wants to do his own thing, he's got his own brand, he wants to do his own show. So he's turning down all that money. Are you happy you did it and how did it turn out? 404-741-Q100 I have a friend who I

[Christy Marie]

think fits into this category perfectly. Certainly not making Simon Cowell money, but was a fairly well respected actor getting gigs. Mitchell Anderson, who is party of five.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Do you?

[Christy Marie]

Yeah, Party of five. Doogie Howser and a bunch of other stuff under his belt. And he was living in la, doing the acting thing, getting these gigs and Getting these movies, but he just felt that his calling was somewhere else. And it was the terrorist attacks of 9 11. I just learned because he sent out a newsletter from his restaurant, which was his dream. And when the 911 stuff happened, he kind of had this epiphany that, you know what, it's cool what I do. I make great money. We just had a conversation about this a few days ago. He's like, I make great money, able to buy my own house, able to do nice things for my parents and my friends, and everything's cool. But on 9-11-01, he realized that the instability of the acting world and the cutthroatness of LA is not what he wanted. He wanted something more stable and personal. So he came out to Atlanta, moved in with his partner Richie, because they had been dating long distance for a while, trained with Super Jenny, and now he has his own restaurant, Metro Fresh in Midtown.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

And he's totally different career.

[Christy Marie]

Yep.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Followed his heart, took the acting completely

[Christy Marie]

out, and now he makes soup.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Wow.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Shannon. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Morning, everybody.

[Bert]

Hi.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Morning.

[Caller/Guest]

I worked in a high executive advertising company out west and I was making six figures a year. Worked long hours, and, you know, that's what I went to school to do. And I left to become a paramedic.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Oh, wow.

[Bert]

What made you decide to do that?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I worked through the fire industry to put myself through school out there for the wildland industry every season. And I need to put myself through school to live on for the year. And I just slowly kind of got into it while I was in school. But then after I graduated, I got a fantastic job making lots of money. So I kind of put it on the back burner. Some were taking classes and I ended up becoming a paramedic and left and went from making 150,000 plus a year to making 50, 60,000.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

And are you happy in the long run that you made that decision?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, I didn't. I was newly married when it all happened, so I didn't get to see my husband a lot. Working for the advertising company and leaving it. Now I'm still in the medical field. I do something a little different now. I make more money. But, you know, at the time it was a huge pay cut.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

And you're truly happy now?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, absolutely. I've been in the medical field. I'm 29 now and I've been in it for seven years.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

That's amazing.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Yeah. I mean, for a lot of. For a lot of people, I Think I would include myself in this, man. Really? I think that. I hate to say this about myself, but I think if I had to totally strip back and be totally honest, I think I'd rather be unhappy in a job that pays me a boatload of money than be happier in a job that fulfills me in other ways and not make good money.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I think that's hard for you to. I think it's hard for you to sit where you do and say that because you love what you do.

[Christy Marie]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Like, you come to work and you.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I love it so much the last couple weeks.

[Christy Marie]

I know, but I mean, you're doing what you love.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Yeah. You're doing what you love. Have you ever had a job that you hated so much that you would, like, like, just be absolutely miserable every day?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Yeah, my first job in radio was miserable. I had to be on the phones all day long trying to recruit people randomly through a phone book, trying to recruit them to listen to radios, the radio station.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Okay.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

So it was four hours on the phone, basically phone soliciting, and every minute was an hour to me.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

And so what if you had to do that for eight hours a day, but they were going to pay you a million dollars a year to do it?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

That's what I'm saying.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Would you do that?

[Christy Marie]

I don't think you would.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

And be miserable every day having to make those phone calls or whatever it is that you just hate to do.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

A million dollars a year. I think I would try.

[Christy Marie]

You would try. But then you're doing it and you're getting paid a million.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Life is so different.

[Christy Marie]

Yeah. You're getting paid a million dollars and you hate it, and you hate it, and you hate it. And then what happens is, let's say you get a phone call from a radio. You know, you've gotten a taster. You know, radio is what you love. Like, I don't know if this. I can't remember if that woman said what made her realize the paramedic was the calling. And I don't know what made Mitchell decide on the restaurants. You know what I mean? But let's say Mitchell's example. Let's say he worked in a restaurant when he first moved to la, and he's like, oh, my God, I love this. He got to work with the chef and he saw food coming together.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

He's like the opposite actor.

[Christy Marie]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Most other actors out there work in

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

restaurants and just wanna be actors.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Very true.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I'm just acting to put food on the table. I really. To own a restaurant, the polar opposite

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

of 99.9% of people in Los Angeles.

[Christy Marie]

But in the back of his mind, that was there. So let's say the same thing happened to you, and you got a taste of radio, and in the back of your mind, that was there the whole time. You're making all this money, and then somebody offers you an 80% pay cut, but you get to do the radio job that you dreamed of. I think after a couple of years of just making those phone calls and making those phone calls and making those

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

phone calls, I hate to admit it. I don't know how. I don't know. I don't know.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Because you haven't done anything for that experience, that long, like, period of time that you've experienced that, that you hated that much. I don't think that you could. I don't think you could.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Rachel. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, guys. I definitely agree with what you guys are saying that it's hard to say if you're not in that position of where you hate it and you wake up every day and you're going to. I just can't do this. I can't walk in this office again. I feel like I'm wasting my life. I don't care about the paycheck. I'm so unhappy. I used to be a chemical engineer. I guess I technically still am making about 100 grand a year. But I just couldn't stand that life. It's hard to explain why, but it just felt so empty. And what I really wanted to do was art. So I had been doing it as a serious hobby for a long time. And six months ago, I left to do that full time.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

To do art?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, to do pottery. You guys making mugs and bowls?

[Christy Marie]

It's like what I did in fourth grade.

[Caller/Guest]

Exactly.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Do you own, like, a pottery store?

[Caller/Guest]

I have my own studio, and I'm selling through galleries. I just started teaching classes last night with my first class. So really my first actual paycheck here, except for sales.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

So do you feel like you're finally living your real life?

[Caller/Guest]

Absolutely. I can't tell you how much happier I am right now, this January 13th, than I was last year.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

And have your. Has, like, other things improved in your life, your relationships and all that kind of stuff?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, absolutely. I feel like I'm so much healthier. My husband, even though you can imagine he liked my paycheck quite a bit before, too. He's so supportive. And the turnaround and our relationship and just general happiness has made it all Worth it, at least for now. We'll see in a few years.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Somebody's driving into work this morning, and they're going through the exact same thing. And this is a sign for them. They're listening to you right now, and they're going, I gotta quit. I gotta do what I really want.

[Caller/Guest]

You know, I struggled with it for. I probably toiled away for, like, six, seven years where I knew the whole time I wanted to quit. Imagine, like, seven years. Every single morning, Monday through Friday, you're going, gosh, I don't know if I can do this one more day. Maybe I should just call in sick. Can I just not show up? What would happen? You know, and that's. Finally, you make the step, and that's a scary decision to make.

[Bert]

Initially, you don't know what you're getting yourself into.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Sure. But, I mean, at the end of the day, you got to live your life authentically, I guess.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Absolutely. And like she said, she's so much happier.

[Christy Marie]

Didn't we all meet somebody who, because of the economy, had to, like, trim money off of his budget? I don't remember the story, but had, like, they said, you gotta save the company 60 grand next year. So he had five 30 grand employees. So they basically said, fire two of them. Well, he made 60 grand. So he's like, you know what? This is my calling. So this is what it was meant. There's a sign. So he bailed, saved the company the 60 grand, because he quit, and used the opportunity to open up, like, made signs or something in his garage. I feel like it's somebody that we all know, but they use the economy as, like, the push to do exactly what you're talking about.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Alicia. Good morning. You're part of the Burt Show.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, how are you guys?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Good, thank you.

[Caller/Guest]

I was making over $180,000 a year in sales, and I was miserable. I just hated it. I went to school for marketing, and I thought, you know, I was one of those people, like, no matter how much money you pay me, no matter how miserable I am, I'll just take the money. Because, you know, you're getting paid that much money, how much can you complain? But at the end of the day, I was unhappy, and I ended up quitting my job two months before the financial crisis hit. But, you know, thankfully, I'd done really well beforehand, and now I write cookbooks, and I decided to go back to school and pursue my passion in nutrition, and I couldn't be happier. I get asked all the time, like, don't you regret it. You know, you still have the six figure house and the six figure bills. Don't you regret it? And I'm like, I don't regret it for the world. I'd rather be struggling and, you know, try to make it as a cookbook author, which has thankfully worked out well, than as miserable as I was.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Do you think things are going to change here when you eventually have to lose the house that you're in because you're not making that kind of income and sort of like start really, really trimming the fat? Do you think you're going to feel differently?

[Caller/Guest]

You know, I can't say I would because I've really been through the roughest patch with that and, you know, thankfully now, you know, my financial situation is really stabilized. I'm really not living, you know, paycheck to paycheck, as you would call it. I can pay for the house, you know, I bought a little Corolla. I don't need a big fancy car. I just live life more simple. And I love it. I would never go back to it. I wouldn't go back to it for the world.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

That's incredible.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

So everybody's calling and saying that they're happy. They made the move, they left the money on the table, they went to go pursue their own thing, and they're all happy that they did it. One more call, we'll find one that's miserable. Damn it. We'll stay until 11:30. Hi, Michelle. Good morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yesterday I woke up. I'm a marketing director for an apartment company and I've been sick this week and I've been home and I just decided yesterday that I'm done. I need to do something that makes me happy. So I went this morning and I enrolled in school to be an event planner. That's what I want to do.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Good for you. Well, I mean, if you listen to these last calls that we took, you're going to end up a much happier person at the end of the day.

[Caller/Guest]

That's what I'm hoping for. You said somebody's going to call and say, this is a sign. And it really was. I just turned on my car and heard it and I'm just. Sorry, I'm getting a little choked up.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

That's a big life change. So the sign that you're hearing right now is you're getting confirmation from everything you did yesterday.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

That's pretty cool. Good luck.

[Christy Marie]

And that's why we only do the show for one person. One person usually it's me. But today it's cool that it was someone else.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Thanks, Michelle, Steve.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you guys. I love your show.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Thank you. Appreciate it. Good luck. Okay, bye.

[Caller/Guest]

Bye. Thank you.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Bye. Bye.

You had to be pretty happy watching American Idol last night and feel a lot of pride for Atlanta because they were raving about our city and all the talent that was coming out of here last night.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Carol was like, I am loving Atlanta, like, so excited. They found tons of people and you know, in those montages for American idol where they, they show you person after person after person running out of the doors with that yellow paper, which means they're going to Hollywood. It was a lot of people from Atlanta last night. Way more than they could on like per story.

They were being mean.

[Christy Marie]

Simon. You know what? I wish this is your last season of the show.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Christy Marie.

[Caller/Guest]

Hi.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

How are you?

[Caller/Guest]

You know what's actually really funny is they don't show you, like, half the stuff that they filmed. Like, they had cameras on me from the minute I walked in that door till the moment I left. And they weren't doing that with anybody else. So I was like, oh, for sure. I'm on the show. You know, I'd been busting out singing all day long. Random people been coming up to me being like, oh, my God, you're so good. You're so good. So I was like, okay, no problem. I'm just gon, you know, not let my nerves get the best of me. And I was just so nervous in front of Mary J. Blige, one of my personal idols, you know, and it was just, like, right there. I got so nervous. I just got way into it and was just so overdramatic and theatrical. I did the ugly face. They know about the ugly face. So I just cannot believe that, you know, that's what came out. But the good thing is it all happens for a reason, because now I, you know, I'm doing, like, six radio interviews today where each radio Station is playing my single release. And, you know, I recorded in a studio. I've been singing since I was 4. You know, I've been in the studio with Luda even, you know, and with 41 1, the show coming into our third season now on Ion TV starting January 31st, and with my celebrity BL on 411, the show dot com, like, I am the happiest girl in the world. I feel like the luckiest girl in the A right now. You know, people at the LA Fitness last night, as I was, you know, practicing with my dance troupe, C. Marie and the Heat, because we'd be bringing the fire, they were coming up to me being like, did I just see you on American Idol? You know, and they were telling me that I look so great. You know, people out of the woodwork from, like, elementary, middle, and high school were, you know, sending me encouraging messages telling me not to give up, just keep pursuing my dream, keep singing. Don't worry what they say. You know, they're just a small few opposed to. They see, like, this is my passion.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Kristi, let me ask you this.

[Caller/Guest]

I was in the studio last night practicing how to drop it low in heels while singing and dancing at the same time. If that's not dedication, if that's not commitment, I don't know what is.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

As you were watching it last night because you didn't realize until last night how they were going to portray you. So are you in a room full of people at that point and you all are gathered for a big American Idol watching party, or are you alone?

[Caller/Guest]

At that point, I was at Sam's Ask Goody store buying my first wireless headset mic for my performances coming up. So I had forgotten about it, and my mom called me, and then my sister called me, and my phone just started blowing up.

[Christy Marie]

You keep the receipt on that microphone

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

right after you forgot American, you forgot you were gonna be on American Idol?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I didn't forget. I knew it was gonna air sometime soon. I started hearing, like, commercials and, you know, promos. But, you know, after I didn't make it, like, I still kept going. You know, I don't stop my train just because my passenger doesn't like the way I conduct it.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Or four or four.

[Christy Marie]

Bert, she's on 41 1, the show. Bringing the heat.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I know.

[Christy Marie]

And moving her feet in LA Fitness. Feeling the beat, dropping it, cooking the meat.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

You gotta tell her about the Hotlanta thing, though.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Yeah, that's where you. That's where you probably lost our audience right there. As we started this campaign a couple of months ago to stop using Hotlanta when referring to Atlanta. And I mean, we've talked to major celebrities about it, and we really felt like we were making some. Some headwind here. And then last night, you dropped the Hotlanta as.

[Caller/Guest]

And as a local like four or five times.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Say again?

[Caller/Guest]

Like four or five times. I think I did, too.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

You set our campaign back months. Months. Months.

[Caller/Guest]

You know, I'm taking it back. I'm Hot Lana back because I report the 411 on what makes Hot Lana so darn hot. So you absolutely cannot stop people from saying Hot Lana.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Well, if you continue to use Hot Lana, it will prove to people that it's not a hot show, because people know that.

[Caller/Guest]

Are you serious?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. People love my catchphrase. So darn hot. You just can't help but love it. I mean, I totally disagree with you. I think all of ATL's nicknames, from a town to the ATL to Home Sweet Atlanta, you just gotta love it all.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I've never heard Home Sweet Atlanta.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

No, I have not heard.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I've never heard Home Sweet Atlanta before. Was that an original one for your show?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm singing Home Sweet Alabama, and instead of Alabama, I just put Atlanta.

[Christy Marie]

How does that.

[Caller/Guest]

Sweet home. That's what it is. Sweet home Atlanta.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Sweet home Atlanta. Okay, so take on the show. Do you have your own version of that song? You should record that.

[Caller/Guest]

You know, it's just when I'm busting out, when the radio's on, Sweet home Alabama comes on. And I've never even been to Alabama, you know, except maybe driving through. So I just, you know, replace the word with Atlanta. Makes sense.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

So are most people, when you got these calls, were they saying, oh, my God, Christy, they are hammering you on American Idol right now, or were they saying, hey, you looked good, but the judges just didn't. Wasn't. Weren't digging it so much.

[Caller/Guest]

No, because they've been letting me dish the fiery 411 on what's been going on American Idol. So, I mean, everything from 411, the show being in our third season airing on January 31st on Ion TV, to me and my dance troupe, C. Maria and the Heat, taking our act to NBC's America's Got Talent.

[Christy Marie]

Where is this season? Is this Iontv? Is this a website?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, 411, the show dot com. It's where my celebrity blog, C. Marie, Hot on the scene is. And I ditch all the juicy gossip.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Okay, so your stage name Is C. Marie. Not Christy. Marie.

[Caller/Guest]

Marie. Oh, Christie Marie Marie. Sassy.

[Christy Marie]

C. Sweet home. Kristi Marie. Christy Lanta, baby.

[Caller/Guest]

See if I get too sassy.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Well, we can't endorse your shows. If you're not going to endorse our campaign to stop Atlanta, then we're going to have to discontinue this. Because, I mean, we've got.

[Caller/Guest]

We are dedicated to keeping at Aliens in the know. Okay, we'll refer to the ATL with Aplians will limit the amount of hot Lanas that we use in our segment. We would appreciate that, but you know, Hotlanta is darn hot.

[Christy Marie]

Does anyone else want to drill?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Appreciate your time. Thank you very much. I'm sorry you weren't portrayed in a better light on American Idol last night. Good luck.

[Caller/Guest]

It's okay. I do appreciate all the love and support from all my ATL family and friends. And I love T100.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Thank you.

[Caller/Guest]

Keep on playing. Especially getting to it.

[Christy Marie]

Drop it like it's hot. Thank you, sweet home. Oh, my God. She has a boyfriend. He plays in traffic a lot.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

How about that? Hey, Ken, good morning. You're on G100.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, my God, if I heard another cliche from that girl. Simon was right. There's a reason why she didn't make it to Hollywood.

[Christy Marie]

You're about to. You're about to turn the dial like it's hot. Dropping it.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, John, good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, Bert. How you guys this morning?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I'm confused.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, this girl is like the female version of Mick Boosh, that guy from a few weeks or months ago that was all loving himself. He's like. She's like the female version of him bringing the heat. And hot Lana, man, she just needs to stick with Atlanta. No, none of the other stuff.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I agree with him. There are such thing as chick booshes, and she's close to that category.

[Christy Marie]

She boosh, she boost. She boosh.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

It's a boosh chick. Whatever.

[Christy Marie]

Sweet Home Boost chick.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Just trying too hard. Like the other dudes were arrogant. I don't think she's arrogant. I just think she's trying too hard.

[Christy Marie]

She's trying to sell. She's trying to sell the show.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Hey, she should sell the Shamwow.

[Christy Marie]

Yeah, the bird show.

[Bert]

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Visit borehurst.com the bird show so this is an email I got yesterday after we got done talking about the the preparation for your gynecological exam. I got a bunch of emails yesterday from women, mostly agreeing on everything you guys said. Okay, that all of them saying that they do indeed fold their underwear and put it underneath their jeans when they're in the gyno's office. That's like universal. Everybody does that.

[Christy Marie]

What if somebody hacked into your email etiquette but just yesterday and all they saw were healthy trim entries and gynecological reports?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

All that would have been.

[Christy Marie]

That's all they got. And they would have to try to determine what you do for a living based on that.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

There were some emails that agreed that women do match the bra with the underwear for their gynecologist, even if they're women.

[Christy Marie]

That doesn't make any sense.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

There was one woman that says she picks out her best shoes to go.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Really?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

For whatever reason. Yeah, she said she just gets dressed up. And the analogy that we use that some of you get ready more for your exam than you do a first date, she said, is absolutely true. She gets not a new dress, but she'll put on a really nice dress, she'll put on the matching underwear, she puts on her best shoes and she doesn't know why she does it, but she feels like she's got to dress up for the gyno.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

It's Hilarious.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

So based on that conversation spawned this email. Burt Show. I heard this segment when women called in and told you about how they prepare themselves for their annual exam with their gynecologists. One of you on the show briefly mentioned something that I've been struggling with for a few weeks now. My due date is three weeks away. I haven't visually seen my vagina in months and I can barely get my hands down there for daily operations. I would like to be clean shaven for the birth, but I'm not even sure if it's possible. Can you ask the Burt show community if they felt the need to be clean shaven during the birth or did women just let it grow? I'd rather deal with that after she's born. And that's from Claire. We did get into this a little bit yesterday.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

We didn't. I mean we were joking about it.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

But do you shave or do you not? And is it even possible?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Well, she's got to have somebody else do it for her because I don't even think she's possible. Literally she can't see it.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

She can't reach. So she could hurt herself, which would be worse to do a couple weeks.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

So it depends. Can she ask her husband to do it or not? Is she close enough with her husband? Would you do that for your wife?

[Christy Marie]

Any guy friend?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Of course. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I've done. Yeah, yeah. I told you. When Stacy was pregnant, she asked me to look in a different place.

[Caller/Guest]

Uh huh.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

And I had to do that.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

You gotta do what you gotta do what you gotta do. Exactly. So I would say ask her husband to do it and take it completely off. No, I would just say that. Say leave a little bit. I think you gotta have a triangle because.

[Christy Marie]

Leave a little bit.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Why a triangle?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Something. Because a woman like birthing a baby, I don't know, just having nothing there doesn't. I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to me. Why seem like womanly? It looks.

[Christy Marie]

Well then why don't you just go

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

like a little girl when you.

[Christy Marie]

Well then why don't you just go on full on dad's penthouse?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Well then in using your analogy, then you should never be like that because a grown man would never make love to a little girl. So if you have nothing there, it's. You're using the same reasoning.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Not really. There's something different about it when you're birthing a baby. I don't know why.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, see, I don't think.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Get Tracy Get Tracy down here.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Didn't she struggle with this for a while?

[Christy Marie]

Somebody else get her down here. I ain't asking her to come down for that.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Brandon, when you're done at the copy machine.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Christy Marie]

Hey, Tracy, Burcho needs to talk to you about your.

[Caller/Guest]

See, I don't get it. Shaven or not, I mean, it doesn't

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

matter to me if you're birthing a baby. It's just a baby. Weird to me about that weirdness.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I don't think the doctors care. Maybe we'll find one. Or maybe cares either way. Good morning, Krista. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey. Love you guys.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Thank you. Claire here wants to know.

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, seriously, just for health reasons. I mean, it's not like. For Jen, it's not like the camera is going to be down there looking, but it does need to come off the whole thing because everybody. You're gonna have nurses, doctors. You know, you may be out. You don't want to be all exposed like, you know, really like a bush. So.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I hear you on that one.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, but nothing like a f. A mother of two. It needs to come off before, you know, for the birth.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Well, and how far in advance do you do that?

[Caller/Guest]

Because how far is she.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

She said she's got three weeks left.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, yeah, she can. She could do it probably next week. It's not gonna. Because it's gonna take time to grow back, but. But at least, you know, within the next couple of weeks, it needs to come off. If she can't get down there to do it some, you know, her husband can do it for her.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

That's pretty much what you said, too, right?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Okay. Thank you.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I just. I don't know why I feel like there's a weird thing with that, but to me, it's. I don't know.

[Christy Marie]

Tracy gets on the radio once every three weeks, and she's thrilled that. Here's why we've called her in studio.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

How you doing, Trace?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I'm great.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

How are you guys?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

They just think I'm crazy for thinking that's. So I was, like, gonna ask you to come down and back me up.

[Christy Marie]

Well, I don't think you're crazy. I don't disagree. But I think Bert made a valid point that it's something that you would want. If that's the way you feel, then it's something you would want all the time.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I don't know. It seems more. I don't know. It's very difficult to talk about it on the radio without, like, Completely crossing the line. Yeah.

[Bert]

I'm not gonna discuss how I am down there.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

All I'm gonna say is call 77039 image.

[Christy Marie]

Well, I think you just did.

[Bert]

Before you get pregnant, did you struggle with the idea?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Because I assume that there is a point of no return. I mean, she said there's three weeks left. You can't really see what you're doing down there. So you really have to. If you want to do it yourself. You got to make that decision well in advance.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I mean, if you haven't prepared for that in advance.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. Once you get that far along, like

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

there's, there's nothing you can do. You can't reach down.

[Bert]

I couldn't even see my feet.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

So you certainly can't see there. That's why I highly suggest you take

[Bert]

care of it before you get pregnant.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Because you can't get laser hair removal

[Bert]

when you are pregnant. You have to hold off. So take care of it beforehand or else screw up.

[Christy Marie]

You'd have a little bald baby or

[Bert]

else just deal with it.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Laura, good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning.

[Christy Marie]

Hi.

[Caller/Guest]

I completely agree. I think she should just go get waxed though. I've had two kids in the past two years and my husband didn't feel comfortable because he was afraid to, I guess, get down there. But yeah, she should just go get it waxed and go do it now.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

He wasn't that afraid. He had two babies in two years.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

It's different when you got a razor in your head.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

He wasn't stranger.

[Caller/Guest]

He's seen it before.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I wonder if there's anybody whose husband absolutely wouldn't do it because they were so freaked out that they would cut that you had to get like a best friend to do it.

[Christy Marie]

I would be that.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

A best girlfriend.

[Christy Marie]

I think I, I think I would be that way.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

What's that?

[Christy Marie]

I think I would be that way.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Really?

[Christy Marie]

I think I, I think I would be that nervous about doing something wrong. I mean, if, if you're about to pop out a seven pound child out of that area which is tender already, I ain't going down there with a baby.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Would it make a difference if she was pregnant or not? Would you be able to do that?

[Christy Marie]

It's too. No, because. And I don't think so because I

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

think because you're just freaked out by stuff like that.

[Christy Marie]

Really, I'm not. I would not want to be the person to hurt someone else. So my thought is I would be very nervous if someone were that close to me. With a blade. You know how, like, if you're ticklish.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

No, but it's like a trust thing. Yeah, well, you don't trust yourself.

[Christy Marie]

Right.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

To do it.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I would have no problem at all.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Zero.

[Christy Marie]

Here's my fear.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I think that's a different. I don't know.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I'd be like Edward Scissorhands down there.

[Christy Marie]

For me, it's making it a Mickey Mouse.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

It's a comfort level. It seems like you and Stacy sort of, like, have that comfort level and that maybe Jeff and Jessica don't.

[Christy Marie]

We don't venture in.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Into that zone. How long you been married?

[Christy Marie]

I. 400 years or 9? Something like that.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

You're gonna be really surprised by the zones you'll venture into in a couple years.

[Christy Marie]

Well, here. Here's the thing. My fear is. Cause I know how I am. And you know how if you're ticklish somewhere and, like, people even get close to that area, you kind of flinch. You know what I mean? Without actually being like. I think if somebody was getting close to my area with a razor, I would be so jerky that I would end up hurting myself. Even if they weren't even bad at what they were doing.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Be like that game Operation.

[Christy Marie]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Aw.

[Christy Marie]

But my nose really would light up.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Nick. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey.

[Caller/Guest]

I've actually shaved her before, but when she was pregnant, she didn't ever have to ask me. She said she's been doing it for so long, she never even had to look.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

She could do it blindly. Now that is a pro.

[Caller/Guest]

Miss a spot.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

That is a real pro.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

That is very impressive.

[Bert]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I'm looking for the person whose husband absolutely wouldn't do it. And you had to ask your best friend.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Oh, my God. That's crazy. I have a friend who told me a story recently that they had a roommate once. This is, like, back, like, when she was in her early 20s. They had a guy roommate that was

[Caller/Guest]

staying with them for a while.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Like, just like, a couple months. And they all came back from going out and were, like, just being obnoxious and, like, gonna go into his room to, like, raise hell or wake him up or whatever. And he was in there doing that to himself. Girlfriend.

[Christy Marie]

What?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

No way. And then apparently they found out, like, he had a thing for that.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Oh, really?

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

He wanted to do that to all the girls he dated.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I knew it'd do like that.

[Caller/Guest]

That's weird. I'd ever heard of it. I was like, that is weird.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

That's freaky.

[Christy Marie]

How about this one? How about a gross A? Back when I lived in Arizona, there was a girl who was. She was. She was known as a bit liberal with herself. And she goes over to a dude's house, gets hammered. Guys not in. Guy's not into her, but he gets hammered too, so he figures it'll be fine. And apparently at some point in the

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

night,

[Christy Marie]

he had mentioned that he liked his women well groomed, and she realized she wasn't. So he gets up and goes into the bathroom and finds her in there using his razor, taking care of business. But, like, not really doing it over the tub or a towel or anything.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Oh, my God, no.

[Christy Marie]

And she's hammered, so she's barely able to stand up. And he said that that visual made him move out of his apartment because he can no longer walk into his bathroom without seeing that image. Yes.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Hey, Leslie, good morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning. Two things kind of like the caller with the guy that called, I really don't need. I know where she is, so I can do it without having to see. But the second thing, I had a baby about a year ago, and they came in actually with an electric, and when they went to go shave, they're like, oh, everything's all good down there. So I guess it does depend on the doctor and maybe the hospital guidelines. They actually come in to do that for me.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Oh, no kidding. Okay, thank you. We could not find anybody that had to ask a friend to shave them in that area because their husband wouldn't do it.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Visit borhurst.com the Bird show guys noticed this on American Idol last night. That the way they edited the show, it made it look like that line all the way around that was wrapped around like where was it the auditions? Georgia Dome, was it? Georgia Dome was actually right at the the W where they were conducting the. The singing and stuff last night.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

They kept editing it together.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Yeah, they edited it together. So it made it look like the line was wrapped around the W when it was really wrapped around the Georgia Dome.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Yeah, I kept looking at that. I'm like, wait, that's in Buckhead. Wait, that's downtown. Wait, that's Buckhead. Wait, that's downtown. Wait, wait, that looks like midtown.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

It was the W. Midtown is where they held the auditions and they spliced it together with the Georgia Dome video. So it made it look like it was all in one place.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Right.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Brittany Sullivan was on the show last night. She's from Atlanta. She was on American Idol last night. Hey, Brittany.

[Caller/Guest]

Hi. How are you?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Good, how are you? Which one? Were you on the show last night?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, I was the one in the group with the Southern Belles. Were you the first girl, the second

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

girl or the third girl?

[Caller/Guest]

The second girl. I'm the brown girl. Okay, you have that clip, the one

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

that the really bad girls that we

[Bert]

listen to in your last entertainment buzz,

[Caller/Guest]

it was a three bad girls.

[Bert]

The second girl.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

This is her. Oh, God.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Oh, baby. Oh, sweetie. That was you?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, that's me.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Did you know you were not a good singer?

[Caller/Guest]

Actually, like I did, but like I know that if they can like just send me. They, they like, they edit a lot of people. And you know, if I went to the studio, I mean, the studio make anyone sounds really nice, you know, So

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

I can't understand what your answer is to that question. Can you sing?

[Caller/Guest]

I think I can sing with help. Like, I had a vocal question before

[Christy Marie]

with an auto tuner.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Yes. You. You have taken a class before?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, I have. My choir teacher was actually a vocal

[Christy Marie]

Coach, do you recall the grade you got in that class? I'm sorry, what grade did you get in the class?

[Caller/Guest]

Actually, no, she just, like, helped me. She actually lived, like, three houses down from my grandmother. Mm.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

So when you listened to that back right now or you watched last night, did you. As you are singing, do you feel like it sounds good or.

[Caller/Guest]

No. How they edited. They didn't play the whole thing. They only played half of it. And people could have heard more of me because I'm more of, like, an acapella singer. And they just, like, did it while starting off, you know.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Well, let's hear what you got. I mean, correct America. Now's your chance to correct American Idol. Go for it.

[Christy Marie]

And you thought that was great. Did you think, like, was that better

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

than what you did on American Idol right there?

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, that's exactly what I did on their can Idol, but they didn't play the whole thing.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

That's why I'm saying giving us a little bit more of it. I mean, get. Get to the good part.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay. I actually need to, like, look at the paper before that's all I know. The hook part, actually, like, if you

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

could let me ask you this question, Brittany, because we know you love to sing, and it's probably your dream. Let me ask you this. Like, if you really didn't have the goods, like you were spending a whole bunch of your time because you really thought that you had the goods to be a star in la, would you want your family and friends to say, I have to be totally honest with you. You are totally wasting your time. Or would you rather people just shut up and you just do your own thing?

[Caller/Guest]

I just rather people just shut up and do my own thing.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Okay, cool. Then you can follow your dream, girl. Then go follow that dream.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Go get it.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Thanks for calling it.

[Caller/Guest]

Bye. Bye. Bye.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Bye. I said, good. You got on yourself.

[Christy Marie]

You go do what you got to do.

[Bert]

You know, dream it. You can do it.

[Christy Marie]

Don't do it on the radio again because it hurt at some point, though,

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

don't you, As a friend or as a family member? If people. If, like your son or daughter is spending so much time, so much energy, and you're spending so much money because that's what it takes to make it right. At some point, doesn't somebody. Isn't somebody responsible to say, hey, baby, you got to think of something else? You're probably talented in a whole bunch of other areas.

[Caller/Guest]

Give him a little direction into something else maybe.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

I think somebody has to Say it. Because she's terrible. And she's gonna spend a lot of time and energy and effort, but you, I mean, sometimes you either got it or you don't. When it comes to singing or having a singing voice.

[Christy Marie]

Terrible, according to you.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

But doesn't she have the right attitude? Like, oh, yeah, you know what? If I'm not gonna be good at this, I'd rather find out myself. Like, eventually she'll get turned down so many times that she's gonna have to realize she done got it.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Yeah, she'll have to.

[Christy Marie]

And if she's really hot, some guy somewhere is gonna think she's the best singer ever.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Maybe.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

Depends on all that will matter.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

Maybe.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

This was offensive last night on American Idol. Can Atlanta continue to heat things up?

[Caller/Guest]

The fiery 411 on what makes Hotlanta so darn hot.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

They call it hot lamb.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

No, they don't.

[Christy Marie]

No, they don't.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

It's at least four offenses of Hotlanta last night, and Ryan knows better.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

No, he doesn't. He's been in Hollywood for too long.

[Christy Marie]

He knows now.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

He does.

[Christy Marie]

A lot of people tweeted him. He wrote back.

[Caller/Guest]

He's.

[Christy Marie]

He's on it.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

He wrote you back last night?

[Christy Marie]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

What'd you say, Wendy?

[Caller/Guest]

No, that's what I was gonna say,

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

that he wrote Jeff back saying, my

[Caller/Guest]

bad hometown, nobody knew.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

And everyone was tweeting him last night.

[Caller/Guest]

No more Hotlanta.

[Christy Marie]

And thank you to everybody who sent him tweets. Like, I was. I didn't watch the show, so I found out about it on Twitter with everybody writing, oh, my God, I can't believe you did it. Al Burcher's gonna go nuts tomorrow, blah, blah, blah. But they were all using his Twitter name, Ryan Seacrest, so he obviously saw those. And then I wrote something like, I think we'll have to give Ryan a call tomorrow. And then I put the no more Hotlanta thing. And then he responded to that, and then to which I responded with, hey, thanks a lot. I owe you a lunch. Next time I come out to La La Land. Or no, I called it the City of Angels.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

It's just not used anymore. And in watching it last night, I just felt like this is. This is a bigger war than I thought it was gonna be. They set us back last night.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

This is a big battle.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

It's a big, big battle.

[Co-host (possibly Jeff or another male co-host)]

We've got lots of warriors out there. So thank you for the heads up, the emails, the tweets.

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

And he got it. Now he's got it. Our job is done.

[Christy Marie]

Get it?

[Co-host (possibly Ryan or main host)]

The bird show.
