Carl
So we got into a conversation about pediatricians.
Melissa Carter
Okay.
Carl
Randomly, this is literally how the conversation started.
Jen
Bizarre how it started.
Carl
The conversation started about traveling to Central America and South America. Then Carl points out that he read an article that Dominican Republic is becoming a hotbed for sex travel. And then I pointed out that one time when Jessica and I were in Costa Rica, there was a guy who was down there and he clearly had invested in some companionship while he was down there. But it was weird because he was a pediatrician. Oh you following so far?
Melissa Carter
Did he invest in companionship with someone his own age or someone younger?
Carl
Younger. Much younger.
Melissa Carter
Oh God.
Carl
Right. So he was a pediatrician. So then I talked about how I thought it was creepy that that guy's a pediatrician and he's investing in that companionship. I think that's just weird. And then Carl mentioned I think it's weird just having a guy pediatrician. And then so follow so far this is the conversation that happened off there.
Jen
So then Carl, you want your Kids to have a female.
Carl
Because motherly instincts. And then Jen makes a remark about how she would only go to a female gynecologist for the same reason. Because the girls got that part. You know those parts.
Melissa Carter
I don't want to go to a mechanic that's never owned my car.
Bluff
Yeah, exactly.
Melissa Carter
What Jen was saying off air.
Carl
So she makes that remark. And then I made a comment about and some guy. Gynecologists could be creepy. Like the way the pediatrician was some.
Melissa Carter
But I do know women that only go to gynecologists, too.
Carl
Costa Rica. And then Jen shared a story about a creeper gynecologist that she had.
Jen
I did. I just had a strange experience when I was young with a male gynecologist. So I'll never do that again. I shared it on the air before.
Carl
That's what brought us to the debate.
Bluff
That's when I asked Jen, I said, so where was your dad when this happened? And she looked at me like, what are you asking?
Carl
So explain what happened first at the gynecologist.
Jen
Okay. So I went. And it was just for, like, probably my first annual exam or whatever. Women know it's not the most comfortable thing in the world. And I was young and whatever. And the doctor at the time was out of breath after the exam. He was out of breath, and he couldn't look me in the eye. And it was awkward. I mean, even like, that young and not knowing what I was supposed to expect from an appointment. I knew that that was Weir. He never said anything inappropriate. It was just his physical reaction.
Melissa Carter
Did he have to have a nurse in the room with him at the time?
Jen
Mm. Okay.
Melissa Carter
Because I do now. I don't know if they always have.
Jen
Yeah. Yeah. There was definitely, like, a tech or a nurse, another person in the room or whatever. But after the exam, he, like, couldn't speak clearly, was, like, stuttering through his sentences very clearly, like, out of breath and would not look me in the eye. And I was so creeped out by it. I was like, ew. God. That's just something about it was off. I knew it was, you know, something was wrong with it, whatever. And so I just never went back to a male doctor after that. That was, like, it for the experience for me. So he didn't behave inappropriately. I think it was a physical reaction that he had. I was 16. 16 or 17 years old.
Carl
So Jen shared that story, and then Carl was shocked because she never reported it to her dad.
Olivia
Right.
Bluff
And I know.
Carl
I understand.
Bluff
I know how close Jen is.
Olivia
To her dad.
Bluff
So I just thought that automatically being that you were uncomfortable with that situation, somebody, either your mom or somebody told the dad.
Jen
And when you looked at her like.
Bluff
And that's why I said, what and why.
Melissa Carter
I've had an experience with a creeper on a vacation trip. I was much younger than 16, and we were at a hotel on a road trip. And it was at a time when you never thought about your kid running up to the gift shop ahead of you or running back to the room behind you.
Carl
Run into the ice machine.
Melissa Carter
Yeah. I mean, I was by myself and this guy who I had met a couple times, like at the pool and at the gift shop, not realizing he was kind of watching. Watching me because I think I was 11 at the time. And he cornered me and tried to escort me to the back of the building. And I got away from him and I told my mom because I wasn't going to tell anybody. And mom could totally tell something was wrong. And I told her. And then I told my sister. And my sister at the time was married, so. And she told her husband. But we decided not to tell dad because he would have killed him. And then, you know, every. Every.
Carl
But he should. Yes.
Melissa Carter
I mean, that's what dads do, but literal. Yeah, but, you know, you also don't want your dad to go to jail because this creeper for killing him.
Jen
And so there was definitely plenty of things from.
Melissa Carter
And it was Millie Pete's decision not to tell my dad, and he never learned about it.
Bluff
I'd be so upset with my wife if she didn't tell me something like that, because, I mean, give me.
Melissa Carter
But you're gonna do something.
Olivia
I might.
Bluff
I'm going to address it so it doesn't happen again to you, so you don't have to worry about it again. So whatever that guy, I may go up to his office, address him real firmly, But I'm going to make sure that my daughter is not feeling uncomfortable again. That's the.
Melissa Carter
Well, that would.
Bluff
That would make her uncomfortable.
Melissa Carter
Like in. Like in this situation. Like in this situation. The reason that my brother in law was told, because my sister's much older than me. So, you know, they were in their 20s. You know, my brother in law was told. For that reason, my brother in law wasn't going to do anything. So he was with me the whole time. And he had his eye on the guy and he kind of made contact. Eye contact with the guy to let him know he knew something had happened. But we didn't tell dad. And then we left, and I was never going to see the guy again. I felt guilty. The only part about it that I did feel guilty about him not even getting confronted is I was worried about what other kids has he done that to, you know? So I thought about that after that, and it. And it made me feel like I was responsible for not saying anything, but.
Carl
So why didn't you say anything to your dad?
Jen
I just. I would have never thought to do that. I don't think I shared it with anybody.
Carl
Well, you tell your mom?
Jen
I think maybe because you said you
Carl
never went to that doctor again.
Jen
No, I never went to that doctor again. You must have told your mom something. I think I told her something, but I don't remember if I actually told her the story or not. And honestly, I can't remember.
Carl
And Wendy was. Why wouldn't you have said anything to your dad?
Bluff
It's just an uncomfortable thing.
Joanna
And no, my dad would have killed a guy if that situation happened with Melissa. My dad has plenty of shotguns. He's been in the military.
Jen
I mean, you're his baby girl, and
Joanna
he's gonna protect you. So in any situation like that, he's gonna do what he has to do.
Jen
Probably even from, like, ex relationships. Like, your mom probably knows a lot more things that went wrong in those relationships than you would ever tell your dad. Things the guy either did to you, said to you.
Carl
Carl's like, wait a minute.
Jen
Yeah, my mom knows a. And she and I have both decided not to tell my father a few things because of that reason. Exactly.
Carl
What are the chances that you sit down with your daughter in the next day? Come, let's go to McDonald's. And you guys are gonna sit down and have a little hard time.
Bluff
Oh, it's going down tonight.
Melissa Carter
It's not gonna happen. Now, the knowledge that my father would kill him is comforting. Like, as weird as that sounds, the knowledge that my father would have protected me had he known is something that is comforting. So we know that our dads would take care of us, but there is some vulnerability to it, that there's a part of you just wants to forget about it, move on.
Bluff
Let me ask one question. Are you afraid of how your father's going to react in front of you? Like, if my daughter tells me something, I may get a little huffy and puffy, and that may just kind of intimidate her. It's not towards her, but I didn't
Melissa Carter
want to relive it.
Jen
Yeah, it's not. It's not reliving it, but it's protecting your dad. Wow. From the realities that bad things could happen to his daughter.
Melissa Carter
And there's a part of me that didn't want to have to go through the story with my dad.
Carl
I'm with you, Carl. I've like hands down, man, if it's, if somebody.
Melissa Carter
And as long as your child knows that you, I mean like, like I said, as warped as it sounds, I mean I knew that my dad would and could and I'm proud of that and I feel protected by that.
Carl
Do you do the same thing in relationships? And this might be more of a question for the men, like when you're in a relationship with a man like Jen, when you were married, or if you get in another long term relationship and something comes up, would you not tell your husband or your boyfriend or you wende like keep it from them for the same reasons?
Jen
No, it's a specific dad thing.
Carl
So if that happens, happened specifically to
Jen
your father, there's some things that dad
Joanna
should just not know.
Carl
If the same, if the, if the creepy doctor appointment thing happens while you were married, would you have told your husband?
Jen
Yeah.
Carl
Really?
Jen
Yeah.
Carl
But not your dad?
Jen
No.
Melissa Carter
That's why, that's why I told my brother in law didn't tell my father.
Jen
Yeah.
Bluff
You know, that's funny when he said certain things that dad should not know. I didn't know that women, some women thought like that because I, I would tell my mom anything eventually.
Jen
So that's different.
Joanna
We can tell our moms anything, but you can't tell your dad.
Carl
Would you tell your dad anything?
Bluff
Yeah, if I feel like it.
Melissa Carter
Yeah.
Bluff
Definitely.
Carl
Hey Amy, Welcome. Welcome to the bird show. Amy.
Olivia
Hey guys. I had an unfortunate incident at the chiropractor one time. I was there and I had fallen off a horse and so I had, you know, supposedly had a bruise on my behind and the chiropractor just decided that he was going to pull down my pants halfway. And what was so funny is that my brother was in the room and he did this.
Carl
Oh, creepy.
Melissa Carter
Oh no.
Olivia
Yeah. But I ended up telling my father and he, he went and confronted him and everything was fine, but still awkward to see that chiropractor. You said, well, I don't go to him, I go to somebody else in that office. But it's a little weird.
Melissa Carter
Yeah, well, I would say, yeah, he's still making money off of you. I'd go to a different office. But anyway, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I just. Yeah, I, yeah, I think it's A you want to protect your dad because you don't. I think it's like you choose your battles. You choose your battles. Your dad's going to be the general of. You know, it's like I'm not going to come to him with everything and especially something creepy that maybe already because we left that hotel and I never saw that guy again and he had those damn handle, you know, like twirl mustache. It makes me sick to see guys with that because of that guy. But.
Carl
But yeah, I never had an incident that's that still creeps me out that nobody ever touched me in no hotel.

Joanna
Yes, engaged.
Bluff
I bet you never saw this coming.
Joanna
No, I didn't. It totally blindsided me.
Jen
It was weird.
Joanna
I always get this thing wrong. Huh? I should figure out the mic thing if I'm gonna do radio.
Carl
You're married now, you gotta figure out that thing's gotta be close to your face. Just cause you're engaged doesn't change the rules.
Bluff
Just so you know and guys don't get any creepier than that.
Joanna
No, they don't.
Bluff
So I know these guys talked to you about it yesterday, but you gotta fill me in on what happened.
Joanna
So this past weekend, Jason and I went up to the North Georgia mountains. We rented a cabin. And I was telling them yesterday, like, I. You know, going into every weekend, I was thinking, this could be it. You know, like, this could be the moment. Well, my best friend threw me off because I know that she's been talking with Jason about how to, you know, giving him ideas on how to do it and when to propose and everything.
Carl
And passing along your script.
Joanna
Yes.
Jen
What rings you like and what.
Joanna
Yes, exactly. Like, I sent her pictures of the rings that I wanted and everything like that. So. So she called me Friday and was like, hey, what are you doing Saturday night? Because she's getting married. And she's like, I'm gonna go check out this band Saturday night that I might wanna use for my wedding. And I was thinking, wait a minute. She would be the one to know what was going on if I was gonna be getting engaged this weekend. So she totally threw me off. But then, you know, Saturday morning, we get up, and I'm making him breakfast in the cabin and everything. And we're done eating breakfast. He's like, hey, come outside. And, um, let's go sit by the fireplace. It's really pretty. Fireplace outside, and we're sitting down in front of the fireplace. He's got one arm around me, one hand in his pocket. Thought it was a little weird that he wouldn't put both arms around me. So I'm like, what's going on in that pocket? You know? And he starts in with the sweet talk, and he's like, you know, I really care about you, and I really love you. You're the only person I've ever loved. And I know that, you know, we've had great times in the past, and we're going to continue to have great times. And then that's when he. He.
Bluff
That's when he said, but I need a break.
Joanna
He said, we're gonna break up, and it's kinda weird.
Carl
No, he said, but will you accept this rose?
Joanna
He actually said, so I might as well get this over with, and then went down on one knee and proposed.
Bluff
Is that right?
Joanna
Yes.
Jen
Wow.
Carl
Okay.
Joanna
Yes. And it was really sweet, and you could just tell he was really nervous. And he said he actually wanted to ask me in Spanish, but he could barely get it out of his mouth in English that he's like, oh, scratch that. I'll just say it in English. But he does wanna do his vows in Spanish. He said, that's so sweet.
Melissa Carter
All right, let me ask you a realistic question. So when you're at the bar and you're bartending, are you going to keep your engagement ring on?
Joanna
I did have my engagement ring on yesterday. I worked for the first time and I had my engagement ring. And I said, this is either going to work for me or against me now because the people are going to see it and they're going to be like, oh, because it's a beautiful ring and it's shiny and sparkly. I'm afraid they're going to be like, well, she's got plenty of money, but it's really not my money. It's his money. It's not our money yet.
Bluff
And for those that don't know, like, Joanna will tell guys. Did you tell them that you were single or you just never said that you had a boyfriend?
Joanna
No, I just never. No, I told him I had a boyfriend if they asked. I never just.
Carl
And you missed this while you were gone. But you would also imply that he was currently deployed.
Joanna
No, I did not imply that.
Melissa Carter
She just wouldn't say. She never corrected somebody.
Bluff
So you would say he's in the military, and they're like, oh.
Joanna
And I would just assume where he is.
Bluff
So you get more tips.
Joanna
Yes.
Bluff
Okay.
Joanna
But now I, you know, they've got the ring, so I don't know how that's gonna work.
Carl
Now you got a man to take care of you, so you don't even have to make money.
Joanna
Not yet. We're not married yet. It's not our money.
Bluff
Yeah, she doesn't really have the hooks in until he says I do. So I'm assuming that you've got like, a folder like this. This wedding's just about done already, the planning for it.
Joanna
There is a folder in my car. I went and bought a binder yesterday with dividers. I've already up to three bridal magazines and I've already been ripping out pictures and everything. We do have a date, but we don't. It's not secure yet because I still have to call. I have an appointment to call the church this week week and find out when we can. If we can get married at this church and everything.
Melissa Carter
Oh, and you didn't let bur know when you're getting married?
Joanna
May 28th of 2011.
Bluff
May 28th of 2011.
Melissa Carter
Calendar is memorial Day weekend.
Bluff
Got it. Congratulations.
Joanna
Thank you very much. I'm excited. I'm still.
Bluff
Does it feel like you thought it would? After all the begging and pleading and checking his emails and checking his living under my suitcase for the wedding ring,
Joanna
I thought I'd feel a little different. But now it's like I've been picturing the ring on my finger for so long, long that now that it is on my finger, it feels like it's been there the whole time because I've been envisioning it on my finger.
Jen
So do you have any advice for girls that are expecting to get engaged? Like, would you encourage them to do things the same way you did or do it differently?
Joanna
Probably not. I read into everything he did, so I can't help it. That's just my personality.
Bluff
Drove you crazy after a while.
Joanna
Yeah, it did.
Bluff
Here's Marissa. Good Morning. You're on Q100.
Olivia
Hey, Bert. Hey, everyone. Love the show.
Bluff
Thank you.
Olivia
I just want to tell Joanna that my husband and I got married in October and he's a bartender at Taco Mac. And when he would. The first week he wore his wedding band had totally cut down on his tips. So he decided to not wear his wedding band anymore. And I'm totally okay with that.
Melissa Carter
Yeah.
Bluff
I told you guys about this dude that this hairstylist up in D.C. that I knew, Nash. All the girls loved him. He's such a good looking, exotic dude. And he got engaged and his business went right to crap.
Joanna
Really?
Bluff
All these girls were going to see him because he's such a hottie. He got engaged and he had to start all over again.
Joanna
I could see that. Somebody consider girl, I'm not taking it off. So it doesn't even come off when I go to sleep or take a shower or wash my hands. It's not coming off.
Bluff
You worked hard for it. Keep it on the vert show. Hi, Melissa Carter. What is the teacher vent line?
Melissa Carter
Basically, it's a place for teachers to vent. Because we know that teachers, every day, they deal with the students, they deal with the teachers, they deal with the administration, they deal with other teachers.
Olivia
And.
Melissa Carter
And so they can't get in front of the classroom and show any kind of anger or frustration. They have to be kind and nurturing. So we want to give them a place to be able to vent. So it's our voicemail and you can call this number and you can, if you're a teacher and you can just get it out of your system so that we can. It is because. Exactly. This is a public service we do for children because we don't want the teachers to get in front of you and do and say the things that they say on this vent line.
Bluff
404-255-3535 is the vent line number. If you're a teacher and you just
Olivia
want to talk, if you haven't seen math in 20 years, how do you expect to tell me how to teach math when you don't even know how to do anything without a calculator? So please, parents, lay off.
Bluff
And this is the same reoccurring theme here.
Melissa Carter
Yes.
Bluff
Is that teachers aren't calling up necessarily about the students. They're just really angry at the parents, right?
Olivia
Are you kidding me? All the students are just idiots now. The parents are making them that way. They just entitle them to everything. They don't do anything now. They just sit around and play the games at home. They sit inside. They don't learn anything. They don't care about learning. And the parents are just as accountable as they are. And don't get me on Sonny Perdaunt who keeps dropping our jobs every damn year. We get paid less and less every year. Let's take your supplements out even more. That makes you want to teach. It really does. And now we're just losing jobs every year. I am so sick of these kids coming to school without paper and pencil. How are you going to expect to do anything if you don't have your supplies? And no, I don't have any for you? Hi, I'm a specialized teacher in a very poor district and I want to know how we are supposed to teach our children without textbooks. Many counties around us have plenty of material. We're expected to meet these expectations and we have nothing. My children write with crayons. Tell me how we're supposed to meet these expectations that legislators are passing down. I'm a daycare teacher and a parent sucks. The kids tell you what to do, when to do it. They bring their kids in at any time of the day, before nap, after nap. When I need this end of message to me becoming a teacher, I either hear oh, I'm sorry or someone says, oh well, at least you picked an easy job. We are not just working from 8 until 3:30 every day. We work around the clock all week, weekends, nights. And I'm just so sick of everyone being so discouraging when I'm entering the field. I am sick of parents that think that all of their children are perfect little angels and they can do no wrong when they come in the classroom and cuss and hit and spit and kick and totally disrespect the teachers and Then when you try to tell the student that they need to straighten up, they tell their parents. And the parents want to come in with their ghetto red neck, irritating, not having any comments themselves, and wonder why in the the hell we are treating their child so rudely when their child is the one acting like a straight. And we make 20 to $25,000 a year to do this and have to take furlough days. But we're the students greatest, greatest inspiration because we teach them and there's some bad kids. And half of it is because the parents think that they can do no wrong, which is ridiculous. End of messages.
Bluff
Yeah, that's the one. We've talked quite a bit about that one. How there are just some parents that are just so out of touch with their own kids that they have. Like when the teachers or school calls, it feels like they're talking about a completely different person.
Melissa Carter
Right? Absolutely. Yeah. And then you can tell that teachers and parents don't seem to work together because we talked. We've said this so many times. If a teacher called my mom about something I did, my mom automatically sided with the teacher and then got on to that. And nowadays it seems like the parent goes to the teacher and says, how dare you punish my child?
Carl
I would almost be puzzled if. If I got my parents got a call from school and my mom or dad said, well, why don't you tell me your side of the story?
Jen
No way.
Bluff
There was no. There was no side of the story.
Carl
I deserve to be grounded. The Birch Show. Oh, I have had no luck lately.
Bluff
Wait.

All right, Olivia. Let's get back with Olivia here. A couple of weeks ago, she called us up and she was making a very bold move. Moving. Went in with two different guys, two different apartments around Atlanta.
Olivia
You moving is always stressful. But neither one of them on Saturday seemed like they had an inkling of what might be going on. I spent the night with Kennesaw guy on Saturday night. And then Sunday, I went back to my apartment. Midtown guy came over.
Bluff
Were there two very special nights with two very special guys on different nights? This Weekend?
Olivia
Yes.
Bluff
Okay, so the key in this thing also is she's told both guys, look, don't expect me to fully commit to being here all the time, because my mom is going through a very emotional divorce right now. So she's using that to get out of the house and sort of go from dude to dude. So that was two weeks ago, wasn't it?
Carl
You guys talked to her for the first time and ended the story two weeks ago when I was out of town. So it was like a week and a half.
Bluff
She's juggling both these dudes now for two weeks, and let's see if it's worth it here. Hey, Olivia. Good morning.
Olivia
Good morning.
Bluff
How are you today?
Olivia
I'm pretty good. And as far as living in two houses goes, it's been going really well.
Melissa Carter
Really?
Olivia
Yeah. Yeah. So far.
Joanna
Until.
Olivia
Until this Valentine's Day thing came up.
Bluff
Yeah, that was Jen's question. Like, now, how are you gonna handle this?
Jen
Yeah. Who do you spend it with?
Olivia
Yeah. And, you know, obviously, I can't spend it with both of them. So I talked to Midtown Guy first and told him, you know, look, I have to work on Monday morning anyway, and Saturday night's a much better date night, so why don't we do something special on Saturday night, and then I can spend Valentine's Day with my mother, you know, and make sure she's okay on that romantic holiday. So he said, you know, that's great. We'll do that. And so then I talked to Kennesaw Guy, and we made plans for Valentine's Day evening. But then Kennesaw Guy says, and I also told Kennesaw Guy that I was going to be at my mother's on Saturday night, that I was going to wake up with her on Valentine's Day morning, spend some time with her. And so then Kennesaw Guy has Valentine's Day evening. But then he also says, look, I planned something really special for us on Saturday night. I ordered a limo.
Jen
Oh, yeah.
Olivia
And he can't. He can't afford a limo. So this is a. This is like a really big.
Carl
Especially on Valentine's night. Don't they do the same. Don't limo companies do the same thing that flower companies do?
Bluff
Yes.
Carl
The roses that you bought last week that cost you 20 bucks are now three times.
Melissa Carter
Yeah.
Carl
The $150 limo ride is now 450.
Olivia
Right. So this is for Saturday night, the night that I was going to spend with Midtown Guy.
Melissa Carter
Right.
Olivia
And so. And I said, well, you know, I told my mother That I spent the night with her. And he said, you know, I'll get you home to your mother's house by 10 o' clock so you can still spend a little time with her before you go to bed.
Melissa Carter
So he wants to spend Saturday and Sunday with you?
Olivia
Yes.
Melissa Carter
Huh.
Bluff
He's in love with her. Why wouldn't he? Well, I know they've moved in together. They're almost engaged.
Melissa Carter
I'm worried. That's what I'm. That's exactly what I'm worried about.
Joanna
Oh, boy.
Melissa Carter
With Kennesaw Boy.
Jen
How long have you and Kennesaw Boy been dating?
Olivia
We've been dating for four months.
Bluff
Is there any chance you think that he's going to pop the question to you this weekend?
Olivia
I think there's a chance. I do.
Bluff
Oh, no.
Olivia
I mean, that's like the limbo Saturday night. Yeah.
Melissa Carter
What would you say?
Olivia
Oh, my gosh. I might say yes.
Jen
And then you just ditch Midtown Guy?
Olivia
Well, I don't know if I ditch it.
Bluff
Oh, come on.
Olivia
Seriously.
Joanna
If you were engaged to Kennesaw Guy, you would not.
Bluff
You would just keep.
Olivia
I would probably ditch Midtown Guy. Yes.
Bluff
Probably.
Olivia
Yeah, probably.
Bluff
What if both of them proposed to you this weekend?
Jen
Oh, shut up.
Melissa Carter
Oh, boy.
Jen
That's like a story.
Carl
You know what?
Jen
It doesn't really happen.
Carl
If Kennesaw Guy does propose to you to save money, maybe you can both move in with Midtown Guy. Yeah.
Bluff
Good morning, Stephanie. You're on Q100. Hello? Hey, Stephanie.
Olivia
Hey.
Bluff
Hi.
Olivia
I'm just curious. What does she do if one of these guys wants to end up going over to her mom's house at all?
Bluff
Yeah. What if. What if he's gonna propose this week and he calls your mom and, like, asks for your hand or something like that? They both do.
Carl
Or they both do. The call waiting clicks over while she's on the phone with one of them. Hold on. I got another call.
Olivia
Click.
Melissa Carter
Did you know about any. Either one of them?
Olivia
Yeah.
Bluff
Did you tell us that part of the whole thing?
Olivia
She knows I'm seeing someone. She doesn't know about either guy.
Melissa Carter
Okay.
Carl
Neat.
Bluff
Yeah. So you're not honest, really, with anybody
Jen
in your life except us.
Olivia
Yeah, right.
Bluff
Except the voice is kind of.
Carl
There's anything more that matter than us.
Jen
I mean, really, where your therapy couch here is?
Bluff
Oh, no, she's not even asking for it. She's got it worked out. Hey, Heather.
Olivia
Hello.
Bluff
Hey.
Olivia
I just wanted to tell this bimbo that she is a female chauvinist pig. That's exactly what she is. And I hope they Find her. They find out. And I hope one of them calls her mom's or asks her mom's number or whatever.
Bluff
Do you tell. I do. You say I love you to each one of these guys every day.
Olivia
No, not every day when you're drunk.
Melissa Carter
But you've told them. You tell them both you love them.
Olivia
Yes.
Bluff
Yeah. So, at this point, what are you gonna do this weekend then?
Olivia
Well, that's what I was hoping you would help me with.
Bluff
You're not gonna get a lot of help over here.
Olivia
Well, how can we help? I didn't think I needed any help with the move. You guys called me initially, but now that we're in this together,
Bluff
now that
Olivia
we have our handle Valentine's Day, I
Jen
think you've got to. All right. If we're just setting aside whether this is right or wrong. And actually help her try to figure it out, which I'm gonna do right now against my better judgment.
Bluff
This is so first of all, let me. I'm throwing the protest flag. On the second.
Melissa Carter
No.
Bluff
If this was a guy. Again, if this was a guy and it was the other way around, you'd be furious, Jess.
Olivia
You're right.
Jen
You're right.
Melissa Carter
Double standard. Yeah.
Bluff
I mean, you gotta figure this out yourself. But at least we want to know about it.
Melissa Carter
I kind of want you to go on this limo ride with Kennesaw boy.
Olivia
I don't. I mean, I don't think. I can't not go. That sounds so exciting to me.
Bluff
Well, and think about how this dude's showing up. Cause Kennesaw guy is the gu that doesn't have a lot of cash. But here he is. He's getting a limo for you. He's got something really special planned. And Rich guy in midtown. What has he got planned for the weekend? Nothing yet, right?
Olivia
Yeah. Probably just dinner on Saturday night.
Melissa Carter
If Kennesaw boy ends up proposing to you and you say yes, you've got to clean up your act, period. Because you're being so cruel to these men.
Bluff
Hey, Aaron. Good Morning. You're on Q100.
Olivia
Hey, Bert. I was just saying that I think Olivia is really taking tire kicking to a new level.
Bluff
I mean, it's pretty typical for women
Olivia
to have a checklist, you know, they'll say, well, I want this, this, this, and this, and a guy. But then they'll also have the guy they like. And I think she's just going back and forth comparing them.
Bluff
I mean, she should have moved in with him. Well, you got some decisions to make, because they're both going to come at you strong this weekend.
Olivia
Yeah.
Carl
The first decision you make is what time can you join us on Monday?
Bluff
Hey, Dwayne. Good Morning. You're on Q100.
Olivia
Good morning. I want to ask this girl, this lady, is she having sex with these guys?
Bluff
Are you intimate with both dudes?
Olivia
What do you think?
Bluff
Yeah.
Carl
Yeah.
Melissa Carter
I mean, you're living with both of them.
Olivia
Yeah.
Joanna
Yeah.
Bluff
You already said you had two special
Joanna
nights on that weekend you moved in, so, of course,
Bluff
here's Good Morning. Q100.
Olivia
Yeah, I just had a question. What if both guys are in the limo when they show up?
Joanna
Oh, boy. Beautiful.
Bluff
They found out about each.
Carl
Guys aren't that smart.
Bluff
We just get angry and women fist through, you know, like, a wall.
Carl
Women would do that and guys wouldn't spend the money. Like, if one guy said, hey, let's split a limit.
Jen
Well, maybe Midtown guy bought it because
Joanna
he's got all the money.
Olivia
Okay.
Jen
Could be.
Bluff
All right, so as it stands right now, you're confused. You have no idea what the plan is going to be for Valentine's Day, correct? Well, I'm not going to feel too bad.
Melissa Carter
Predicament.
Olivia
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, what I think I'm going to do is I'm going to find some way to get in that limo, but he can't drop me off at my mother's house afterwards because that'll be really awkward.
Bluff
No, you're on your own on this.
Olivia
Yeah, I haven't been there in a while.
Bluff
We don't even have a chance. I wonder, like, isn't this tiring for you, like, to try to keep up the stories in your own mind on who you're supposed to.
Olivia
So far, it's been more exciting than tiring because I really enjoy the craftiness. But I'm now, just. Now I'm getting a little bit worn out about how I'm gonna swing next weekend.
Bluff
You're so sort of, like, cold and mean about it, though.
Carl
Like, I'd be careful with the use of the word swing, to be honest with you.
Bluff
All right, Olivia, we will talk to you next week. Okay?
Olivia
Okay. All right.
Bluff
Bye.
Olivia
Bye. Bye.
Bluff
That kind of, like, coldness and just kind of like that. She's really sort of getting off by the whole reception of the whole thing.
Melissa Carter
Emptiness of it.
Bluff

So bear with me for a second if you're on Facebook with me or you follow on Twitter. As I was telling these guys, man, it feels like I've been gone three weeks. Me and my crew, we just covered a lot of ground in Miami over four days. It was like nonstop party after non stop party after non stop party. And everybody that went on the trip sort of had their own kind of connections to what was going on. So either I was on the phone trying to get us into a party that everybody was talking about, or my friend Justin was or Delvette and everything just sort of. This was four days where it all fell into place. So party after party.
Jen
How many were in your group?
Bluff
There was five of us.
Jen
Five total?
Bluff
Yep. All right. So I'm reading some of my tweets because I couldn't remember everything happened first day. I was all bummed out because I really wanted to go there and I just assumed we'd see celebrities all over the place. And the only one I saw was Biz Markey. And that was the. So he was the first one. I was shopping the next day down Lincoln Avenue and ran into Usher and said hey to Usher. He was buying some clothes for his kids. So we had a little man hug there and said hey for a couple seconds. Just some random notes from the week. The rumor there was that Neo went to a club called Mansion and he bought 100 bottles of champagne and just passed them out in the crowd.
Carl
Yeah, it's true. They were tweeting about that.
Bluff
Is that right? So he's just hanging out and all these high end bottles of champagne. Neo hooking him up.
Jen
It's expensive.
Bluff
I went to the GQ party and I tweeted that I'd never felt uglier in my life. And I got to meet Hines Ward, who is a wide receiver for Pittsburgh but graduated from UGA. So we talked about Bulldog football for about 15 minutes, which was really pretty cool. I ended up.
Jen
Does he play with Mike Vick now?
Bluff
No, he's with the Steelers. Vick is with the Eagles.
Jen
Got it.
Bluff
But there was the Bulldog connection more than anything else, so that was cool. I ended up backstage at this Pepsi smash thing where Justin Bieber was headlining. Y', all, I mean, we know how big Justin Bieber is. But to be backstage and actually see it from the stage was unbelievable.
Jen
Is it Teeny Bopper heaven?
Bluff
It's nutty. First of all, his entourage is getting bigger and bigger now. I mean, it's all filled like family. And he's got more handlers now. I mean, seven months ago, one dude came in with him. He's got a lot of people to take care of him now.
Melissa Carter
Right.
Bluff
So I'm backstage with them and the crowd there are must have been 10,000 13 year old girls all chanting, justin, Justin.
Carl
He must have been heaven.
Bluff
Justin. He's just all over the place right now. So he's tired. So I said hey to him. And he was with Nick Cannon and Sean Kingston also.
Jen
That's cool.
Bluff
All three of them were up on stage. I ran into Eli Manning and Donovan McNabb and Sean Merriman, which is cool if you're a big football fan.
Joanna
Is Eli hot?
Bluff
His wife is, I'll tell you that. You don't see her much, but she's very, very cute.
Melissa Carter
Did you tell Eli how much you hate him?
Bluff
I did not. I got no beef, really, with Eli. It's Peyton. Well, you mean Eli because of the whole San Diego Chargers thing?
Melissa Carter
Yes.
Bluff
Stuart Scott from espn.
Jen
Oh, that's cool.
Bluff
No, he's a bouche.
Jen
Oh, really?
Bluff
Yeah. People were asking for pictures and autographs, and he's the only guy all weekend long I saw turn stuff down.
Joanna
No way.
Jen
Are you serious?
Olivia
Why?
Jen
I always heard that he was such a nice guy.
Bluff
Not this day.
Jen
Wow.
Bluff
I met Russell Simmons at a celebrity poker tournament and took a picture with Russell Simmons.
Joanna
Saw that tweet.
Bluff
I ended up on the Hills.
Carl
What happened with the guy who lost his watch?
Bluff
They found it. This guy is like a chic. He was playing in this celebrity poker tournament and he lost his ring actually.
Carl
Okay.
Bluff
And fell to the ground. And he was telling everybody there it was like, $100,000 ring. So everybody is scrambling for this guy's ring because they're thinking, okay, if I get on this guy's good side, it's Miami. He may hook us up all week. So one of the guys in my crew actually found it.
Melissa Carter
Oh, wow.
Bluff
Yeah. And he would. Yeah.
Carl
So what'd you get out of it?
Bluff
Nothing. Yeah, Not a thing.
Joanna
All right.
Melissa Carter
Go back to the Hills.
Bluff
Yeah. I ended up on the Hills. I'm sitting in the lobby of a place called Eden Rock, and Audrina is there and she's sitting on a couch all by herself.
Jen
I don't even know if I'd Be able to pick her out of a lineup, you probably would be easy to identify.
Melissa Carter
Yeah, well, if you're a fan of
Carl
the show, if you watch the Hills, like Wendy Obert, you know exactly who she is.
Bluff
Nobody was coming up to her. She sat in a chair by herself for, like, 20 minutes. Nobody came up and said, hey or asked for a picture or anything, but
Jen
somehow, Jersey Shore is the new Hills.
Bluff
Yeah. Yeah, right.
Jen
Hills is dead.
Bluff
Somehow I ended up in the shot because somebody from MTV taps me on the shoulder and says, look, here's a waiver. Looks like you're gonna be on the Hills. We got you in one of the shots, so will you sign this waiver? So I signed the waiver, and I said, when is it gonna be on? She said she didn't know, but I'm in the shot, so I might be on the Hills. I told her I'd be the oldest guy ever on that show.
Joanna
It'd be like a dream come true.
Bluff
Jessica Alba and Joel Madden were at the Drake Common show at Eden Rock. Jessica Alba is this big, y'.
Carl
All.
Bluff
I mean, she's lost so much weight. She looks too skinny.
Jen
Remember when she came in here, however long ago? That was a while back.
Melissa Carter
Yeah.
Jen
So long time ago. She came in studio with us. Yeah.
Joanna
Yeah.
Bluff
She looks much different than she did then, though. She's really, really thin. So I saw her at the Drake Common show. A lot of these shows happened at Eden Rock. A magazine here in town 944 bought up an entire hotel in Miami, and they turned it sort of into the Happening Party all weekend long. And they hired everybody to come in and play parties and do shows. So they hired Drake and Common. I saw Wyclef there also. And while you know how much I love Wyclef, LL Cool J jumps up on stage and does Mama said Knock youk out with Wyclef.
Melissa Carter
That's awesome.
Jen
Is LL just as good looking in person?
Bluff
He's still looking good. He didn't want to go on stage. They called him out like he didn't want to do his thing. But once he got up there, man owns it. And he's still huge.
Jen
Huge. So yummy.
Bluff
So that was at the 9:4:4 party there. Then I did meet the guys from the Jersey Shore also, and I took a picture with the Situation. And what's the name of the other dude? Pauly D. Pauly D at the W.
Carl
He was most excited about.
Joanna
I know.
Melissa Carter
I saw the Situation.
Joanna
I was like, my boyfriend, my love.
Jen
Seriously. Come on.
Joanna
I think he's awesome.
Bluff
People were leaving him alone. Like, if they're planning on doing the next season in Miami, it might be a tough sell because nobody really cared. Maybe it was because of this weekend. And there were so many like a listers in town that nobody cared. That, you know, the guys from Jersey Shore over there maybe.
Olivia
Yeah.
Bluff
But nobody. Yeah, they weren't really giving them a lot of love. I saw Chris Rock at the W, who also now is about this skinny. And I told these guys earlier that Sunday, I just got through. A friend was at a Rod's house watching the super bowl with a Rod. He had a party for about 100 people. Put up a big old 20 by 20 screen in his backyard. And Ashton Kutcher was there and Demete Moore were there before the game also. And Derek Jeter was there as well. This guy's house is probably 15,000 square feet. And it's typically like that Miami Mediterranean sort of feel. And it's just one of the nicest homes I've ever seen. The pool in the back is like Olympic size.
Jen
Was it like wowing when you drove up the driveway? Like, wow, I can't believe we're here.
Bluff
The neighborhood that he lives in is really pretty modest until you get past the gates and then there's like celebrity home. I think Rosie o' Donnell lives in the same neighborhood. I think Madonna lives down the street also.
Olivia
Cool.
Bluff
And he lives on the water. So there were like four yachts parked in his slip. And it was just like this high end, high society party that he threw for 150 people. It was catered, all the booze that you could want, music was cranking the whole time. He had an awesome DJ there. And there's Alex Rodriguez just going from person to person saying, hey, thanks for coming to my party and hanging out.
Jen
So cool. Now the big scoop is like, who is he dating now? Because, you know, he went from Madonna to Kate Hudson. And then now the rumor is Cameron Diaz. And then a couple days ago, there were pictures of him with a mystery brunette in quotes.
Bluff
And I'm fairly certain he was with the mystery brunette. She's a little like, she's like 5 foot 4, little Cuban looking thing. Stunning. Stunning.
Jen
So you think that that's really the girl he's hooking up with, not Cameron Diaz?
Bluff
That's. Yeah. At least for that day. It was. I know that. And the oddest thing I saw at the party I told these guys earlier is that that Ashton is there and he's got a camera full on around his neck. Like he is a tourist in Hawaii for the first time.
Melissa Carter
Like one of his commercials, you know, I was taking pictures of people at a party.
Carl
He's living the endorsement.
Bluff
He really is like that long lens on it. So he really is living the endorsement. And she is just a little itty bitty thing. And he's a tall dude.
Melissa Carter
How tall?
Bluff
I felt like he was like 6 4.
Melissa Carter
Really?
Olivia
6 4?
Melissa Carter
I would have never thought he him that tall.
Bluff
Yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah, it was alarming.
Carl
I'm like, dude, just unusual for Hollywood.
Melissa Carter
Yeah, right?
Jen
Yeah, very.
Bluff
So I'm a little hoarse today just because there are so many damn good parties and I just feel like we got to do them all. If we're here, we got to do them all.
Melissa Carter
Yeah.
Bluff
But the Saints fans there outnumbered the Colts Fans, I mean, 50 to 1.
Carl
You could tell just by watching the game.
Melissa Carter
Yeah.
Bluff
Could you?
Jen
Crowd noise.
Carl
Yeah.
Bluff
It was an intense weekend and it's one that I'm not going to be able to duplicate for a very long time. I can promise you that. You're on the Birch show. What's going on, everyone? It's bluff here and we're driving through the states in the Bluff Mobile and the best thing that we can do
