Episode Overview

This episode of The Bert Show dives into the complexities and comedic chaos of modern dating, social codes, problematic in-laws, and a viral 911 call involving a McNugget complaint—all with the lively banter and authenticity that define the show. The cast fields listener dilemmas about navigating relationships and family drama, fosters debate about the “guy code,” discusses texting etiquette, and delivers a healthy dose of group therapy, advice, and laughter.

---

Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. The "Guy Code" and Love Triangles

[01:00–11:05]

• Listener Aaron's Dilemma: "Aaron" calls in (voice disguised) wanting advice. She’s been dating a guy (non-exclusively) for six weeks but now thinks his visiting friend might be a better match. She asks how to get the friend to go on a solo date—without the original guy knowing.
  • Panel jokes about urgent scenarios (“astronauts,” “Disney World,” etc.).
  • Aaron admits she feels a rare, instant connection with the friend and lays out a plan to "accidentally" run into him.
  • Key Quote (Aaron, 03:01): "I figure I have tonight to convince him to go on a solo date with me tomorrow and, of course, fall madly in love with me."
  • The cast debates if going after a friend's friend is shady, even if you're not exclusive.
  • Notable Exchange (Host, 05:21): "I can't endorse this. Like, I don't feel like I can give advice because it goes against the guy code."
  • Listeners call in with split opinions: some say since there’s no exclusivity it’s fair game; others say it crosses a line.
  • Memorable Moment (Male Caller, 10:36): “Just do it… There is no real advice. I mean, just do it.”

2. Texting Etiquette & Mixed Signals

[12:41–22:55]

• Wendy's Dating Woes: Wendy, a show regular, revisits her struggle to find "the one." She shares a story about meeting a guy at a bar, getting a 4am text (“thanks for coming out…”), and following Bert & Jeff's advice to wait until 7pm to reply. She suspects this backfired—the guy never responds.
  • Kristi questions if waiting to reply made her seem uninterested, while listeners debate how quickly one should text back.
  • Key Conversation (Female Co-host, 14:44): "My first thought was you were his booty call... but he knows you're going to work, so that makes sense."
  • Wendy insists she’s not desperate, but the panel and callers dissect whether waiting to text seems strategic or uninterested.
  • Listeners weigh in with divided advice: some say playing it cool is necessary; others say instant replies set expectations.
  • Notable Quote (Andrew, Male Caller, 22:12): “Whenever a girl plays a waiting game… I think she's just playing games with me, more or less, because …she's not really interested.”

3. Listener Weekend Check-Ins: Life Decisions & Family Drama

[24:33–36:41]

• Career Crossroads: Dustin shares his challenge: if he signs up 15 customers for Light Year Wireless over the weekend, he can become a regional manager and leave his job at UPS.
• In-Law Issues: Deanne needs to have a “serious heart-to-heart” with her boyfriend’s overbearing mom, whom she says treats her 24-year-old son like a child, expects him home multiple nights a week, and guilt-trips him over missed dinners.
  • Panel’s Reaction: The cast thinks Deanne’s plan to confront the mom is risky, especially given she’s only been dating the guy for two months.
  • Quote (Host, 31:12): “Two months. That is not gonna go well.”
• Surprise Visit: Another listener debates whether to surprise her long-distance love (who recently moved to Tennessee) or to call ahead—a “relationship test” scenario.
• Parental Reunion Drama: Nicole suspects her divorced parents might be getting engaged again after her father’s cryptic phone call.

4. Viral McNugget 911 Call: Public Reactions & Ethics

[38:02–47:27]

• The 911 McNugget Saga: Bert Show plays audio of a woman named Latricia calling 911—three times—because a McDonald's refuses to refund her for unavailable Chicken McNuggets.
  • Lively hosts’ and callers’ reactions dissect the absurdity, debated legal/ethical grounds, and how 911 calls become viral.
  • Quote (Male Co-host, 41:00): "911 operators should be able to declare you an idiot and just let that be the end of it."
  • Listeners and co-hosts weigh in on the balance between customer rights and abusing emergency services.
  • Police ultimately give Latricia a ticket for misuse of 911.
  • Quote (Caller Keisha, 45:37): "I will call the police, too. I want my money back because before I knock this manager out, I'm calling the police…"
  • Public safety dispatcher Steve calls in to share the wildest calls he’s seen and confirms there is “some minute validity” if money is refused, but “she got a little impatient.”

---

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• Aaron’s Justification:
  “[The guy] has just been very adamant that we’re not exclusive. That’s not my rule.” (Aaron, 03:55)
• Host Putting His Foot Down:
  "I can’t endorse this. Like, I don’t feel like I can give advice because it goes against the guy code." (Host, 05:21)
• Listener on McNugget Justice:
  "Three phone calls to 911 over a four dollar tab." (Male Co-host, 45:04)
• Kristin’s Real Talk:
  "You have to have more than one [guy] going on… You distract yourself so you play cool..." (Female Co-host, 21:54)

[Host (possibly Burton)]

The Birch here wants to be on the Voice disguiser. And I can't think of a scenario where you only have one weekend to get a guy interested in you and that's it. Like all the chips are there on the table or you lose out.

[Female Co-host]

Unless he's a military dude. It's the only thing I can think of.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

There you go.

[Male Co-host]

Or in a your favorite band coming to town.

[Female Co-host]

Oh, right.

[Female Caller/Listener]

True.

[Male Co-host]

This is the only other I can't think of. I can't think of anything why is so urgent.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Or. Or he's an astronaut and he's going to the space station.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Or he's just going to go ride Mission Mars at Disney World.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

That's probably it. Hey, we're gonna call you Aaron. And you're on the Voice Disguiser. Hi.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Hey guys.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Hi. How are you?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Great. How are you?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Good.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Is he an astronaut?

[Female Caller/Listener]

He is not an astronaut. Although that would be hot.

Is he going to Disney World?

I don't think so. I don't think so.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Why do you only have this weekend to get this guy interested in you?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Well, it's sort of a long story in that I've been seeing this guy for about six. Six weeks now. And you know, whatever. I like him and I'm not opposed to only seeing him. But he's made it very clear that we're not exclusive. That's not what we're doing. So you know Facebook. I don't know if you guys know Facebook, but of course we're friends on it. And, you know, Grenada, whatever. So apparently he had some friends visiting this weekend that I saw their conversation on his wall. And this one friend in particular is gorgeous and hot and funny. And I just think, as crazy as it sounds, that he might be the perfect guy for me. And I haven't stopped thinking about him since I saw that he was coming into town. And, I don't know, I think he's a better match for me than this guy I'm dating.

[Female Co-host]

Oh,

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

awesome.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

All right. So you're dating a guy. Like, real life dating? Like, not Facebook dating. Like, actually have seen him and face

[Female Co-host]

to face, felt the chemistry.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Right, right. So you're digging this guy, but the guy coming into town you hotter and more for you.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I do. I do. And they're in town this weekend. And, you know, the serendipitous part of it all is that my boyfriend or whatever is in a wedding this weekend, and the rehearsal dinner is tonight, and the wedding and reception are tomorrow. And then he might try to hang out with these friends Sunday. So I figure I've got tonight to see him because I maybe did a little Facebook investigation and know where they're hanging out tonight.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Nice.

[Female Caller/Listener]

You know, my girlfriend's together and just happen to run into each other. And then I figure I have tonight to convince him to go on a solo date with me tomorrow and, of course, fall madly in love with me. And then Sunday, you know, he can hang out with the guy I'm dating, so.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

And you're gonna do this around your current boyfriend's back? You don't think he's gonna find out about any of this?

[Female Caller/Listener]

The thing is, he has just been very adamant that we're not exclusive. That's not my rule. So at this point. Point.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

But you're still going after his. His friend?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Yeah, you're allowed to date, just not friends and brothers and stuff like that.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I mean, I guess there were no stipulations.

[Male Co-host]

Maybe is this more of a revenge against him not wanting to be exclusive?

[Female Caller/Listener]

It's not. The thing is, this isn't. This isn't really in my nature, and I really do. Or like this guy. I mean, whatever. But there's something about this. I know. Like I said, I know it sounds crazy, but I really think that he might be for me.

[Male Co-host]

Have you added. Have you tried to request his friend on Facebook to Be your friend.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I haven't because I wanted to just happen to run into him. And I figure at some point in the conversation, I don't know. I don't know if it could even come up that we had this mutual friend that I'm sort of dating. I don't know.

[Female Co-host]

So he need. You need him to fall in love with you first side or first conversation? And you want our advice on how to make him fall in love with you?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah. Yeah, I know. I figured I'd get my girlfriends to go and sort of. I guess my question is, you know, what should I do or not do to get him interested in me that I can, you know, entice him to ask me on a solo date to hang out tomorrow? And then, you know, what's my game plan be to guarantee to stay? I've got a vet tonight.

I've got an idea. You can break up with your boyfriend first.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Yeah, I can't endorse this. Like, I don't feel like I can give advice because you're. It goes against the guy code. Yeah, you can't. You can't date the dude's friend, but

[Male Co-host]

the guy says they're not exclusive, so she can date whoever she wants.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

You're exclusive, but you can't date, like, guy friends. And you can't do that.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Why not?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

He sets the code.

[Male Co-host]

I mean, he's the one being adamant about them.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

And check this out.

[Male Co-host]

Not being exclusive.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

He's. Yeah, he's. It's his role. And I mean, she's just gonna end up at the same restaurant or bar, wherever they're all hanging coincidentally. And she's gonna be end up there. She doesn't even have to address the fact that he and the guy are friends because she just ends up there, seeks him out, makes herself available to him, makes it all happen. Saturday night they go out. And then at some point in the conversation, she's like, oh, my God, you know him. Oh, you know him. Oh, my God. What a small world. Well, it doesn't matter. I don't like him anyways. We're not even exclusive. I love you.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I don't like it.

[Female Co-host]

How long. How long have you been dating this guy?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Like six weeks, you know, not six weeks, but not. I mean, I don't think I'm gonna marry him right now, you know, because

[Female Co-host]

I'm just thinking about, like, if you're trying to get a guy's attention or you're trying. Because we've had conversation before where, you know, if you make. To make him Jealous or to, you know, you go after the friends. So we've said that before in the past. And so if she's only been with this guy for six weeks and he doesn't want to date her, they've never officially, exclusively dated. Does that still break the code?

[Male Co-host]

I don't mean so.

[Male Caller/Listener]

I don't.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

I don't.

[Female Co-host]

Well, here's what I think, because. Yeah, because they're. They were never exclusively boyfriend. Girlfriend in love.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I think the. The bottom of the issue for me is if he. If your boyfriend today was to have the conversation with you. You know what? We've been going out with each other for six weeks now.

[Male Co-host]

Let's just.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

It's just you and me now. What do you think? I don't want to date anybody else. What do you say to him?

[Female Caller/Listener]

I mean, I suppose that I don't know. I guess I tell him to ask me again someday. I don't know.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So you would make the time. So you could be with this other guy this weekend?

[Female Co-host]

You could try it.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I don't like it.

[Female Caller/Listener]

And I definitely didn't go out seeking this other guy. It just so happened that I just kind of found him and I liked him. And I guess I could go tonight and he could totally blow me off. I mean, he knows who's to say? But, you know, you guys are supposed to prevent that from happening. This advice you're giving me. But I don't know, I just. I think I like him a lot.

[Female Co-host]

It's up to us.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Hold on one sec. Let me take some calls for you. Go ahead, Brandon. You're part of the bird show.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Brandon.

[Female Co-host]

Brandon.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Oh, I don't like him.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Performance anxiety.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Good morning, Tia. You are on Q100.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Hey, how y' all doing?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay.

[Female Co-host]

Good.

[Female Caller/Listener]

First of all, I want to say I love you. I try to see our show every morning.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Thank you.

[Male Co-host]

Thank you.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Okay, but I think she just break up with the boyfriend and talk to the friend.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So you say this goes against the guy code, even though it's. Even though they're not exclusive. Going for the friend. Off limits.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Is it not exclusive? And that must mean he really don't want to be with her. So why not go with the friend?

[Female Co-host]

She's saying it's okay to go for the friend.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Still off limits, though. I mean, wouldn't that make it awkward? And, like, if you start a relationship with the friend, it would still be kind of awkward.

[Male Co-host]

She keeps calling him boyfriend, but he's not her boyfriend until they're exclusive. So this is just a guy she's dating. Who's saying, I don't want to be exclusive with you? So you know what? Date whoever you want to date. Go out and flirt with whoever you want to flirt with, whether it's his friend or not.

[Male Caller/Listener]

It's shady.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah, it's still shady.

[Male Co-host]

He's not making any sort. They have no commitment to each other.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

But you don't date his friend. That's shady.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

But what if you can get into it? I'm not saying it's not shady, but I'm just saying this is a good way for her to get into it without them knowing that they're friends. Do you know what I mean? Like, she's not. Even though she's targeting a friend, she can enter into the relationship conversation without them being friends. So it could end up being a total coinky dink.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Good morning, Jennifer, you're on Q100.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Good morning.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I love you guys.

[Female Co-host]

Thank you.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Ditto.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I just wanted to find out from this woman, if she finds out that the other guy has a fiance girlfriend, if she's still going to go for it, she's still going to try to flirt and make him fall in love with her.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

I mean, well, she would know. She would know if he had a relationship because it would say so on Facebook.

[Female Co-host]

Well, but she's not friends with him.

[Female Caller/Listener]

It's not necessarily true.

She's not friends with him on Facebook. So you can. Only some people have that private.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

That's right.

[Male Co-host]

So you don't know if it's complicated or not.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So if you found out this weekend the dude was in a relationship, would you continue to. To pursue it or would you let it go?

[Female Caller/Listener]

No, of course I let it go. I mean, I'm not, you know, a home wrecker. I just feel like it's worth pursuing just in case, because I really like this guy, from what I can tell, you know.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

All right, let me take one more call and then I got to get to the Miley thing because it's very hard to sift through the Miley calls right now to get to any solid advice.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

What Miley thing?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

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

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, man, just want to say, girls go against the guy code all the time. They don't care. She's going to do what she wants to do anyway. I mean, what if, you know, she's only seen pictures of this guy? What happens if she meets them and, you know, he completely blows her off or something Totally wrong? You know, she could be risking the relationship with this guy.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I can't tell what your advice is.

[Male Caller/Listener]

You there?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Yeah, we're here.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I'm just. I mean, she's gonna do it anyway. There is no real advice. I mean, just do it.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Just do it. Just go for it.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Yeah. I mean, I've. I've been in that same position. Girls who, you know, left me for my. One of my friends, it. They're gonna do what they wanna do.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Yeah. Most are calling saying go for it.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

And what if everything goes well and shady and you have the opportunity to

[Host (possibly Burton)]

do a shady single to get a

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

super poke from him? Will you do that?

[Female Caller/Listener]

I'll gladly accept the super poke.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I bet you will. Let's check back with you on Monday and find out what happens with the friend. Okay.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Awesome.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Thank you guys.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I'm single and we've had this whole stretch of me being desperate trying to find A guy.

[Female Co-host]

The guys have called you desperate. Do you consider yourself desperate?

[Female Caller/Listener]

No, I don't think so. Maybe just no.

[Male Caller/Listener]

No.

[Tyler Redick]

Maybe just no.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Maybe like 5%? No. So I've really relied on the guys of the show to kind of help me, at least last week anyways, because I met a guy out one night last week and gave him my phone number and he texted me and Bert and Jeff gave me some texting advice. And that texting advice was to wait until 7 o'.

Clock.

First it was 4, then it was 7 o' clock because he texts really early in the morning.

[Female Co-host]

So you met him at night?

[Female Caller/Listener]

I met him at night.

[Female Co-host]

And then his text to you was at four in the morning?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Right, it was four in the morning because I. That's when I wake up and that's when he knew I woke up for work.

[Male Co-host]

Okay, so now was he still out partying at 4 in the morning, do you think?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Well, he worked at the bar, so

[Male Co-host]

he was closing up the bar.

[Female Caller/Listener]

So he sent me a text and was like, hey, thanks for coming out. It was good to see you, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah.

And the. Well, the advice Burton Jeff gave me was to wait, not to text back immediately.

[Female Co-host]

Right.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Just to hold out too eager not to be too eager.

[Female Co-host]

The idea was to wait until after you got off work that night. So what do you like, 7pm?

[Female Caller/Listener]

7pm well, so did you text him at 7? I did.

[Male Co-host]

What'd you say?

[Female Caller/Listener]

And I was just like, oh, God,

[Male Co-host]

what did I say?

[Female Caller/Listener]

I was just like, why'd you guys like, it was good to see you, blah, blah, blah. Nothing like major, just like, cool, good to see you. Like, yeah, that was it. Pretty much. Just something very simple. But I have not gotten a text back and I think it's because of the advice Burt and Jeff gave me. And let me make a point on why. I think that he knew I was going to be up around the time he text me. And his text could have used an instant reply. And I think I waited too long so I didn't get one back.

[Female Co-host]

Now, forgive me, because I'm not sure, but my first thought was that you were his booty call. But he knows you're going to work, so that makes sense. But it just seems like, I don't know. I mean, because everybody, the unanimous advice was don't seem too eager. And so it seems like he, I don't know, he wasn't interested in anything but something.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I don't know.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

My inclination is that if he's not texting you back, then you don't need him.

[Male Co-host]

Yeah, well, yeah, I tend to agree with that too. And I have a feeling that he could have been pretty buzzed when he sent the one at 4 if he closed up the bar, because bars close at 2. Right.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Well, he works at the bar, so he probably wasn't drinking because he wanted to be a responsible employee.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Right.

[Female Co-host]

Yeah. Because people work at bars and never drink or do anything.

[Male Co-host]

Yeah. I mean, I worked at a bar, and once you're done, everybody sits around and has a couple or whatever while you're wrapping everything up while you're folding silver.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Right.

[Female Caller/Listener]

But it was during the weeks. I mean, it wasn't like hammered drunk. I mean, and Sean was with me that night. So I. I disagree about the whole. It being a booty call and all that kind of stuff, because he just doesn't seem like the type that would like that.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Well, they never do, but.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Well, I mean, it wasn't.

[Male Co-host]

He knows you're going to.

[Female Co-host]

Works at a bar.

[Male Co-host]

He knew you were going to work. So I don't think it was necessarily a booty call, but I think it was sent in a. You know.

[Female Co-host]

But you see what I'm saying about that. You see what I'm saying about that. That it was something he needed at the moment, but obviously he was disinterested as. As the day progressed. And I don't think that's some. I don't. I don't think that's something that you did wrong.

[Male Co-host]

I just think it is either.

[Female Co-host]

I think it's. He wasn't interested in anything.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Oh, bummer.

[Male Co-host]

Well, the other factor we're not considering is did he hear about our conversation on the radio?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Oh, I don't know.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Cause we did talk about it, or we talked about it at this time.

[Female Co-host]

We do have people that listen to us, don't we?

[Male Co-host]

Yeah. So I'm wondering if that's a factor too. Like if he heard through the grapevine or through some of his friends, like, hey, is that you that she's talking about on the air? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And maybe he's going, you know, I'm not quite sure I want every bit of this out there that could be true.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

He doesn't know what he's missing.

[911 Caller (Latricia)]

But hey,

[Female Caller/Listener]

I did get guys emailing me saying that your advice is bad.

[Female Co-host]

Hey, what the wrong guys email saying that you're bad?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Because those are guys who want to give you their number and get a response back immediately.

[Male Co-host]

Do you think that their interest in giving her advice wasn't altruistic?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

There can't be. We can't live in a world that when you send a text, you expect an immediate. Texting is not an immediate reply. Medium.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I disagree. I think it works with the phone call that you can wait. But texting is immediate because usually people have their phones in front of them. People know you get the text right of way. So I think when you wait, people know, hmm, you've just got this text message.

[Male Co-host]

Why are you waiting?

[Female Co-host]

I just don't like being available 24 7.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Right.

[Female Co-host]

I don't like the culture where you expect me to. I don't know, I just kind of bothers me that, you know, sometimes I may not be available to you.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Hey, let me. I'm talking to Joy. Hey, Joy.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Hey. I think I agree with Wendy. You guys told her to wait 15 hours to respond. I can see 7am but 7pm was pushing it. That's crazy.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

7, 8am she's in the middle of work, but I'm.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Well, she takes a break. She doesn't work 15 hours straight. That was just a bit.

[Male Caller/Listener]

A bit extended.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Like, you guys should have told her to text him later in the morning, not the night. That's just really. I don't know. I think that's why he didn't call back either.

[Female Co-host]

But isn't this coming from a woman's perspective, though? Wasn't that our argument to begin with

[Female Caller/Listener]

on how even if a guy had done that to me, I wouldn't text him back either? Like, it took you almost a whole day to respond.

[Female Caller]

Never mind.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I'd do the same thing. So I think that's why he didn't call her back.

[Male Co-host]

I think what we're trying to get Wendy in the position of is being pursued rather than being the pursuer.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Right.

[Male Co-host]

Hey, does that make sense? So, I mean, so he's not pursuing you, so let it go and let somebody else pursue you.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Hey, Fred, help me out.

[Male Co-host]

That's the fun part of dating. Is getting pursued so bad at it.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

What's going on?

[Male Caller/Listener]

I was just saying, you know, for one, I don't think she waited too long. I mean, you know, from a guy's perspective, you know, you don't want her to seem too. Too desperate. Like you. You and Brett were saying.

Right.

But, you know, in a way, she might have. Just for simple fact, he does work at a bar. He meets a lot of women. So if he don't get a text, obviously there's no people out there.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

He might be playing the quantity game where he just throws it out there to as many People as he can.

[Male Co-host]

Was the text generic enough that it could have gone to more than you?

[Female Caller/Listener]

No.

[Male Co-host]

Okay.

[Female Co-host]

Okay, that's good.

[Male Caller/Listener]

I agree. I believe. But then again, I mean, he is a bartender. I mean, you got to take that into effect. He meets a lot of girls that think he's hot because they make drinks and they get tipsy and hey, here's my number, call me. And he's just like, all right, whatever.

[Male Co-host]

You have to consider that factor to do you want to date a guy that's got, you know, that many women

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

around all the time, he's got access to females. Hey, Nicole, welcome to the show.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Hey.

I think that he just wanted to ask her out, like set the stone for asking her out on a date. Four in the morning, he knows she goes to work. It's not a booty call. He just liked her and probably wanted to say, hey, I'm thinking of you, good morning.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

But isn't it presumptuous from the, isn't it presumptuous from the guy's point of view to think that if you email her at 4 in the morning while she's getting ready for work and everybody knows how harried mornings are anyways, even if you get up at 8am or 7am there's no time more hectic than morning when you're getting ready to go to work. Isn't it presumptuous to assume that he could write her and that she will write him back? Definitely.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yes. I think I agree. But maybe 7 o' clock like the previous caller said, 15 hours, a little extensive. If he took the time, he probably really did genuinely like her and didn't expect why right away, but did expect one before 15 hours later.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Here's a guy on Wendy's side. Hey, Kevin.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, how are you?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Good.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, really enjoy the show. Wendy, I got excited with the guy just because you waited so long. Everybody knows that. I mean, you told the guy that you were getting up at four in the morning and everybody knows that if you got, if you got a cell phone and you get a text, you're going to read it right away. And unfortunately, you may have waited too long just because.

[Male Co-host]

What do you think she should have

[Male Caller/Listener]

done that you got, you got that text when you got it, what do

[Male Co-host]

you think she should have done?

[Male Caller/Listener]

I mean, what's, what's wrong with just

texting somebody back and saying, I'm busy or thanks for the text, I'll talk to you later. Just, I mean, some, any kind of response would have been better than none

[Female Caller/Listener]

that's coming from a guy perspective now.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

You know what the.

[Male Co-host]

There's been other guys that have the other perspective. You're just listening to his because that's what you want to hear.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Hey, Nick. Welcome to the show.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, how's it going, guys?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

What's up?

[Female Caller/Listener]

I think y' all are.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Y' all are being a little too quick to judge. I mean, he. I mean, he did respond when he knew she'd be up, so obviously he's interested. As far as her not responding, it's not so much of a big deal. But maybe he's not trying to seem so eager at the same time. You know what I mean?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

That's the thing, is what if he's playing the same game back? What if he was listening to the show and didn't realize we were talking to you and then he heard our advice? He's like, that's good advice. I'm gonna do that with the next girl. Text me back, why do we gotta play games? And he's icing you.

[Female Co-host]

Well, that's why you need to. You need to have several guys in your repertoire. Because I think that you need to distract yourself when you're dating. I do believe that you have to have more than one going on. So you distract yourself from the other side. You play cool with everybody. You know what I mean?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

I think Wendy's dream man might be on line five.

[Male Co-host]

Okay.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Hey, Andrew.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Basically, with my perspective on this is if I send a girl a text message in the morning, I'm interested. And I'm thinking, well, maybe I'll ask her out on her lunch break or something like that. Another point is that whenever a girl plays a weighing game, whenever I send her a text message or something like that, she. I think that she's just playing games with me, more or less, because that's the. She's not really interested. She's just playing, trying to play around, play games.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

All right, thanks for the call.

[Male Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

There you go, Wendy. That one's just for you.

[Female Co-host]

It was in my mind. It was so much smoother than that.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

[Host (possibly Burton)]

All right, so what's going on in your life this weekend? So cool, so intriguing that we got to check back with you on Monday morning. What's going on, Dustin?

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, what's up, guys?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

How are you?

[Male Caller/Listener]

I'm very good. How are y' all doing?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Good, man. What's on the line for you this weekend?

[Male Caller/Listener]

Well, if I can get 15 customers this weekend, I can be promoted to a regional manager, which means that I would be quitting what I thought was my career at UPS because I'm working two jobs.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay.

[Male Caller/Listener]

And it's kind of like a life decision because, you know, UPS is someone to get with and stay with and you know, when you get the opportunity. And now I've got this other thing going here and I've come so far that I'm just, I'm 15 people away from being regional manager and that's huge. You know, that would set me up for life, basically.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

What is the other thing you're talking about?

[Male Caller/Listener]

It's Light Year Wireless. It's a company that's coming out from being commercial for the past 15 years. And we are now residential and doing cell phones like AT&T and Verizon Wireless, but we're cheaper and we have no credit checks and no deposits. But we offer the same coverage as Verizon because we use their phones, their plans, their rates, and, you know, I'm just. We're word of mouth marketing. So I'm on my feet. There's no commercials. There's no commercial advertising. I am the advertisement. So it's, it's, it's a, it's a lot to juggle between that ups, because you know how UPS drivers are. You see us out there running around and tossing boxes and stuff. You know, we're busy. So it's, it's, it's a one in a lifetime thing for me, you know, I hope you guys sit back with me. I hope it works out.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So 15 customers. Why are you guys. Jeff, why were you looking like you just did a tequila shot right there?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Oh, I, I didn't know what direction this was going to go on. That's all.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Oh, okay.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

All right.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So if you get the 15 customers, it's a brand new career for you on Monday.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, can, can I, can I say my phone number so maybe y' all can give me the 15 customers?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Oh, yeah. This is the direction I thought it was going to go.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

This is why I look like you've hit new 11 right here.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Oh, you might as well. You got on, you worked your way on. So you're aggressive enough to do that

[Male Caller/Listener]

then Go ahead, Atlanta, call me at 678-386-3381. I will hook you up.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay, thank you. Hold on one second. Okay.

[Male Co-host]

That's a dangerous thing to do there, Burton.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

He got through and he was aggressive enough, so you're in your own hands. At that point, I had no idea really what he was talking about. As far as the phone stuff goes,

[Male Co-host]

I didn't understand either.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I was out of the loop on it.

[Male Co-host]

Well, I kind of checked out because I thought it was a commercial, which

[Host (possibly Burton)]

it turned out to be.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Good morning, Deanne. You were on the voice disguiser. Hi.

[Female Caller]

Hi. How are you?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Good. What's going on in your life this weekend?

[Female Caller]

Okay, this weekend I have got to have a serious heart to heart with my boyfriend's mom.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

A serious heart to heart with your boyfriend's mom.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Now hold on a minute before we go too far. Are you trying to convince her to switch from her current cell phone plan to light your wireless to one that you are offering?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Yeah. You want to give your phone number out right now?

[Female Caller]

No, no, nothing like that. Not giving up my number, that's for sure.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

What's going on with your boyfriend's mom?

[Female Caller]

She treats my boyfriend like he is 14. I mean, she does not treat him like an adult. And it's just. It's really getting in the way of our relationship. It's really annoying. And at first, you know, I Mean, I thought, oh, wow, she's such a great mom. But it's really. She just takes everything too far. She, like, for one thing, she expects him home, like, three nights a week for dinner.

[Male Co-host]

He still. He lives at home.

[Female Caller]

No, he hasn't lived at home. He hasn't been at home in almost four years.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay, how old is he?

[Female Caller]

He's 24.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay.

[Female Caller]

She expects him home, like, about three nights a week. And she expects him one of those nights for him to be home every single Sunday for dinner. And if he's not, then she will call him and nag him and talk about, you know, how she went grocery shopping for all of his favorite things and how it's going to spoil in the fridge if he doesn't come home and eat it. And it makes him feel guilty if he doesn't come home those times. Three nights, especially every single Sunday, three nights.

[Male Co-host]

I'll give it to you. That's too much. But if she wanted him home every Sunday night, I think there's something kind of nice about that. That's cute.

[Female Caller]

Yeah, that's nice. I mean, I thought that. But, like, if he misses a Sunday night, like, one time he had something to do at work and he just felt really stressed out, and it was more stressful for him. He had to, like, drive across town and go to his mom's when he had, like, so much he needed to do. And it just. It's not out of a place. Place of, I can't wait to go home and eat my mom's food. Now it's getting out of a place of just feeling stressed if he doesn't please her. And, I mean, I thought it was cute, too, but it's just. I mean, three nights a week, you just can't do that. And he doesn't live there anymore. And she does stuff like, you know, she'll go shopping and get clothes for him. And I mean, everybody loves for their parents to give him clothes, but if he's not wearing something that she bought him when she sees him, then she knocks them about that, too. And it's just. I just. I think it's too much. And, you know, if she finds out, like, even. Even little things, like, if she finds out we go out on the weeknights, then she'll lecture him and be like, oh, you shouldn't be doing that. You gotta make sure you rest up for work. And just, he's a big boy.

[Male Caller/Listener]

You know what I mean?

[Female Caller]

And it just. I can't handle it. And it's really getting in the way of our relationship.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I'm curious how you think this relationship, like, best case scenario, how this conversation actually is gonna go this weekend. So

[Female Caller]

this is what I'm going to do for the Sunday night dinner. I'm going to go with him. And when she's in the kitchen, like, when we're away from him, I just want to pull her aside and just basically say, you know what? I really think that your son and I have a chance to make this work, that this could go somewhere. And I really just think if there's any way that you could just ease up on him. I don't want to say the words back off. That's what I'm feeling it.

[Female Caller/Listener]

That she needs to back off and

[Host (possibly Burton)]

ease up is the same thing as back off.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Ease up is the one, a nicer

[Female Caller]

way to put it. If she could just kind of ease up on him a bit and not put so much pressure on him to be home three nights a week that,

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

you know, how long have you guys

[Female Caller]

been, like, a big boy then? You know, that's. That's kind of my plan.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I'm just. I'm curious why your boyfriend's not sticking up for his own self. I mean, he's a big boy. Why can't he tell mom no every once in a while and not answer the phone and be afraid of the nagging?

[Female Caller]

Yeah, I've talked to him about it, you know, I've said several times, you know what, you really need to just tell her. This bothers you. This makes you stressed out. You know, you feel like she's nagging you, and he's like, oh, you know, she's my mom. I can't. You know, I've kind of hinted before, but, you know, but his hinting is not being upfront. He's done, you know, he's not having a backbone about it.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Well, then he needs to be a big boy and get a backbone and talk to her.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

I think Jeff was going to ask you a really important question here. And how long have you guys been going out?

[Female Caller]

Almost two months.

[Female Caller/Listener]

No, you cannot talk to Martin, and that is too soon.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Yes, she can.

[Male Co-host]

You didn't just say two years and we misheard that, right?

[Female Caller]

No, it's been almost two months.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Two months.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Well, I think this has gone on seven weeks too long.

[Male Co-host]

Well, now I see why he's attracted to you because you're just like his mom.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Controlling, you mean?

[Male Co-host]

Yes.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Male Co-host]

That's exactly why he's attracted to you.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Look, this is.

[Male Co-host]

She controls him, and obviously now so do you want to do the same thing? Wow, that's nuts.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Two months. That is not gonna go well. Look, I wanna put you on hold. Cause this is not a segment of advice right here. So we're just gonna check back with you on Monday and find out how that all went.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay, hold on.

[Male Co-host]

I mean, seriously, no wonder he picked his mom to date.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Yeah, yeah, it is true.

[Male Co-host]

He picked his mom.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

That is gonna go horribly, horribly wrong.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

You guys need to be a little more 1.

[Male Co-host]

One controlling woman wasn't. Wasn't enough for him in his life. He had to have two. And now those two are going to battle it out this weekend.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Look, I don't want to use the words back off, so I think I'll

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

just use ease up, ease up,

[Male Co-host]

step off.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Hey, Sarah, good morning. What is going on in your life this weekend that is so intriguing? We got to check back with you on Monday.

[Female Caller/Listener]

All right. My boyfriend, a couple months, a couple weeks ago, moved to Tennessee. Well, it's kind of that gray area of are we boyfriend and girlfriend? We've said we've loved each other. We've said that we both want to date each other again. So I'm thinking, do I go up there to see him and surprise him or do I just like, give him a heads up and call? So I'm kind of. I've got about two more hours of work before I decide this to go up there.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

All right, give us the stats on this again. You guys have been dating each other for how long?

[Female Caller/Listener]

We dated about a year and a half ago.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

A year and a half ago?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah, we. Then about three, four weeks ago before he moved, he decided, he said, oh, I love you. I said it back. I've never, never said that to another guy before. You know, we both wanted to date each other, but that was kind of like left as is. We didn't say like, oh, because we're going to or because we're not. It just kind of was. It is what it is. Of course. This is like two days before he left. This all was said.

So does he know you're coming up there?

I haven't decided. I'm not sure if I'm going to surprise him or tell him that I'm coming.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So they're really wasn't any kind of official, like, look, I'm gonna see other people. You're gonna see people?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah. No, there wasn't.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So your plan could be to go up there and surprise him this weekend and sort of gauge where the relationship is based on his surprise to see You.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Male Co-host]

Smart test.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay, again, this is not a segment for advice.

[Male Co-host]

Right.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

So we just want to check back with you Monday.

[Female Caller/Listener]

That's fine. So I'm thinking. So at this point, I've got about two hours to decide if I'm going to go or not or if I'm going to call him or not call him because I'm going either way. I'm just not sure if I'm going to call him yet before I go, but I'm going either way.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

What is your gut telling you to do?

[Female Caller/Listener]

My gut's telling me I should probably call before I go. But.

No, don't do that.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Guess what? We got a girl on the other line whose guts telling her to do something that we're going to warn her passionately again.

[Male Co-host]

So what I think you should. I think you should go without the warning.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I know that you.

[Male Co-host]

You really will get the genuine reaction that way. I think if you call him and give him the heads up, he's got time to sort of.

[Female Caller/Listener]

What if he moved up there for somebody?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Oh, no.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Like, I know he lives. He lives up there. His family's all up there, and he got a job up there. So I know that there's no other girl there because he. Even when there was other girls, tells me everything.

[Male Co-host]

Where. Where.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Almost everything again.

[Male Co-host]

I missed Tennessee. Tennessee. Okay, so it's not that far of a drive.

[Female Caller/Listener]

No.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

All right, let me. Let me put you on hold right now. And we want to find out what you did on Monday. Okay?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Male Co-host]

Surprise him.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

People are calling to give advice. They want to give it, but this is not what this is all about, right?

[Male Co-host]

No, I'm holding my tongue. I know.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

All right, one more. Hey, Nicole. Good morning. You're on Q100.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Good morning. AM I on the voice disguiser?

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Sure you are.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Okay, well, my dad called me. He lives out west and said it's important that you get a sitter for Sunday. I'm flying in. So he said, I need. Your boy's gonna be there. And my parents have been divorced for about seven years. I'm thinking that my dad is gonna propose to my mom again, which is a really big deal because it was not a very happy divorce, and they know that I wouldn't be very happy with it, so. Yeah. So. But they're like, your boyfriend needs to be there, and it's important that you know you don't have your daughter so that you can focus. And I have no idea. Like.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay, hold on, hold on. Too many details.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

There's a lot of information coming at us right now.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Too many details and we're going too fast on this. All right, so your parents have been divorced for how long?

[Female Caller/Listener]

About seven years.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Seven years. And they've been in contact with each other over the last seven years?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Well, yeah, more so in the last.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

And has your mom been flying out to the west to hang out with your dad and your dad flying here?

[Female Caller/Listener]

No, he comes here to see me and my daughter, but. And they see each other when he's here. But no, she doesn't really go out there.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

And you think. Even though they're sort of dabbling in some communication, what makes you think that he's going to re. Propose to her this weekend?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Just.

He said something to my brother who lives out west and I don't know, it's just one of those gut feelings. So I'm just like. I'm so stressed because I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do. So I don't know.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

So you got going on this weekend Your parents might be getting remarried?

[Female Caller]

Yeah.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Perfect.

[Host (possibly Burton)]

Okay, let me put you on hold and we'll check back with you on Monday. Okay.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

The Birch Show

Wendy found some audio Yesterday it was another 911 call. Is it just me or does it seem like we've been getting a lot of these?

[Female Caller/Listener]

It's been a run of them.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Do you think it's just the attention is on it now? Because a couple funny ones came out. So now all the other.

[Female Co-host]

All it takes is one and then they start looking for others. And I'm sure, because I don't know. How do the 911 call centers turn them in? Like it's almost. It's almost like Funniest Home videos. It's funniest 911 calls. So do they turn it in or.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

I think it must be. They have to because it's public record. Because I just saw something where there's some lawmaker trying to make calls to 911 not be public record. I think based on the Rihanna Chris Brown one. Because it's like why you know that you're making a phone call in probably your most personal moments.

[Female Co-host]

But these are funny. Not this one. These are funny. And I think 911 call centers, if you hear one on the radio that you think is hilarious, then as a 911 thing, oh well, I got one better than that. And so then I think that the reason we see so many more of them is more people are sending them in.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

And the calls that come into 911 centers are all logged and everything. So I think what somebody might do is if they work there, come out and go, hey, I got a call at 4:45 today and tell a friend. And then the friend, this is hilarious. And a friend can submit a public records thing and get a copy of it, which may be what happened with this one. This is a telephone call that a woman made. And I understand her point. Like McDonald's did come out and admit they were wrong in this.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Right?

Okay.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

But this woman still called 911 because McDonald's ran out of Chicken McNugget. And she called him that once, but three times.

[Female Co-host]

Oh my God.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Here's call number one.

[Female Co-host]

Tell me when he got your craving. He got your craving.

[Female Caller/Listener]

91 1.

[Female Caller]

Do you need police, fire and ambulance?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Police? Where?

[Male Caller/Listener]

Delaware.

[Female Caller]

What's going on there?

[Male Caller/Listener]

I ordered a 10 piece chicken nugget with a small fry and she said that they didn't have any chicken nuggets. And so I thought I want to make Beverly all fine. And she told me I don't have to pick anything else off the menu because she can't refund me the different out of the meal. And I told would just Give me all my money back. If she tell me she can't give me my money back either she will have to. I have to pick something.

[Female Caller/Listener]

There's no manager there, ma'.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Am.

[Female Caller/Listener]

You already spoke with the manager.

[Male Caller/Listener]

She say she are the manager. She's saying something about she just can't refund me my money or something but she don't have one the of me what I want I want a chicken nugget and so she didn't have that so I probably give me a double and just to find a different and she said she can't do that so I probably would just give me all my money back and I don't want anything and she telling me she can't find my money now she don't have what I want and she can't force me to eat something that I don't want.

[Female Caller/Listener]

What's your name?

[Male Caller/Listener]

Latricia.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Latricia.

[Female Caller]

Uhhuh.

[Female Caller/Listener]

All right, I'll send an officer.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Okay, bye.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Yeah, you really will. You'll really send an officer because I think 911 is she obligated to operators should be able to declare you an idiot and and just let that be the end of it.

[Female Co-host]

Maybe she's I don't know, I don't know the obligation of the operator in case she gets dangerous or you know, she's a suspicious character and she truly.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Yeah, I guess you could argue that someone is nuts if they're calling up about a chicken McNugget but I appreciate the 911 attendance patients saying have you spoken with a manager? I really want to help. I really want to help.

[Female Co-host]

She said Chicken McNuggets we all have.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Sure, I understand.

[Female Co-host]

You understand the frustration you have in

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

a nine piece situation. Let's take care of it. So and then so I guess the officer didn't get there quick enough or whatever so she called back 911 police,

[911 Caller (Latricia)]

fire, ambulance pretends to be the problem. I called a couple of minutes ago for Police North McDonald's. McDonald's on North U.S. yes ma', am. West side of bridge. Okay, what's going on? Oh, I'm to McDonald's and that was a fen chicken nugget and a small fry and she took my money and gave me the change back and then she came back to the counter and said that maybe after having the chicken nuggets when I like anything else I suppose given life it ain't no next apple and just give me a different side of it. And she told me that she can't do that. I want anything Else on the me. I told her no, I want if you don't have my chicken nuggets, I want a Max D and a small finance. And she told me I would have to pick something off the ME that equal up to what I paid because she can't do that. If I told her was just give me all my money back, I don't want anything. She told me she's not going to give me my money back. She can't give me my money back either. So she's trying to force me to eat something off of me that I don't want. What's your name? Latricia. You're at McDonald's on Delaware North US one. Okay.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[911 Caller (Latricia)]

We got an officer coming out there to talk to you. Okay, thank you. All right, thanks.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

How mad are you if your house is getting broken into right then.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah, seriously.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

And you call 911 and then you find the site, you're like wait, what day did this call?

[Female Co-host]

You're dispatching an officer for this?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Seriously? Somebody took my flat screen and you're researching a six piece McNugget?

[Female Co-host]

Well, you're the officer going what? I'm going where? Seriously?

[Female Caller/Listener]

But granted, McDonald's chicken nuggets are amazing.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

They're worth a 911 call on some days.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yes, I would say that the police

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

officer who gets dispatched to handle this call is the equivalent of the TV reporter who has to go stand in the rain during a hurricane.

[Female Co-host]

Yeah, but not at the hurricane. They're just in a storm, you know. Right, they're just in the rain.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

The hurricane's the big storm.

[Female Co-host]

Yes, the hurricane's 100 miles away, but you're just in the rain.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

And so two phone calls wasn't enough to handle the McNugget situation?

[Female Co-host]

She's mad.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Here's call number 391 1.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Do you need police, fire, rescue? How can I help you?

[Male Caller/Listener]

I'm calling I need officer for McDonald's on US 1 North 1 by the bridge.

[Female Co-host]

Seriously?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Okay, what's going on there?

[Male Caller/Listener]

Took my money and won't give me my money back. And trying to make me get something off of me that I don't want. I order chicken nuggets, they don't have chicken nuggets. And so I told her to refine, give me like just give me my money back. And she telling me I have to pick something other something else off of me if she's not going to give me my money back and she don't have the right to take my money. Come officer, right here

[Female Caller/Listener]

okay, I'm.

She hung up on her.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

The 911 operator disconnected the call.

[Female Caller/Listener]

No Latrice.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Oh, Latrice. Well, the cop.

[Female Co-host]

She's frustrated.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

The cop probably pulled up and took care of it.

[Female Co-host]

I'm sure she took care, but, you

[Female Caller/Listener]

know, she did get arrested.

[Female Co-host]

Can you. Can you get arrested for the 911 call?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

It came up that they.

[Female Co-host]

Oh, she did get around.

[Female Caller/Listener]

She did get arrested.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

She got. Well, she got a ticket for misuse of 911 or whatever. Hey, Martin.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yes?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

What's going on?

[Male Caller/Listener]

They're stealing from her. She's totally entitled to call a police officer if they're stealing from her, because she was.

[Female Co-host]

At least she was talking. Well, in the call, you're talking about the fact that they refused to give her her money back without ordering something else.

[Male Caller/Listener]

No, they won't give her her money back.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Three phone calls to 911 over a four dollar tab.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Yeah, well, that may be a little over the top.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Okay.

[Male Caller/Listener]

They are stealing from her.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

And McDonald's did come out and say, this is not the way. They kind of wrote a very sincere apology, but a little bit tongue in cheek saying, we understand that people are very passionate about our McNuggets, and we appreciate the fact that this customer was so, you know, disappointed that she called 911. However, it's not our policy to not refund money. Hey, Keisha, what's going on?

[Female Caller/Listener]

I will call the police, too. I want my money back because before I knock this manager out, I'm calling the police because I want my money back.

I mean, granted, you can call the police, but not like, 91 1.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

91 1. Three times. Keisha, you can.

[Female Caller/Listener]

I wouldn't call three times, but I would call the police and I would call 91 1. What are you supposed to do? Call information and get the nearest police station? I mean, what was he supposed to do?

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

You walk out of the restaurant, you. And you get the manager's name, and you deal with it later.

[Female Caller/Listener]

You send an email to corporate.

I'm calling 91 1, too.

[Male Caller/Listener]

I agree with her.

[Female Caller/Listener]

But not three times. But I would call 91 1.

Wow.

[Female Co-host]

Hey, we're gonna talk about you and. Yeah, we're gonna talk about you.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Steve, welcome. We hear your tape.

[Female Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Hey, Steve, welcome to the show.

[Male Caller/Listener]

Hey, Jeff, how you doing?

[Female Caller/Listener]

Good.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

How are you?

[Male Caller/Listener]

All right. My whole thing about it is. Yeah. I mean, 911 gets some of the wackiest calls because I work in public safety and. But there is, I guess, some minute validity behind it, because technically, manager just cannot hold on to your money. If the customers ask for a refund. What? You know, they have to give it back. So I mean, dad do have a right to. To call 911 now. I guess she got a little impatient.

[Female Co-host]

Don't you have to choose your battles though? Seriously?

[Male Caller/Listener]

Oh, no, no.

[Tyler Redick]

I understand.

[Male Caller/Listener]

I'll. Trust me. You'd be surprised what some people call in about. So I mean, I think the most hilarious one as a. As a dispatcher I've ever heard and didn't happen in my jurisdiction, but just, you know, they play funny tapes all over the place. They had a woman one time calling about wanting police officers to come back because she thought the officer was cute.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

Nice.

[Male Co-host]

That's beautiful, Cena.

[Female Co-host]

That's sweet.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

You can't come down on the McNugget girl and find a romantic that you're calling 911 to get a date.

[Female Caller/Listener]

But it's destiny. I mean, that was her, man.

[Male Co-host (possibly Jeff)]

They're in love. Lost and found with the dispatcher from 91 1, it's the virtual.

[Female Caller/Listener]

What's up fools?
