Dan
want to tell you guys a story that and I wish Tracy was in here. Can you somebody run and grab Tracy because she may be able to verify this or not. But I spoke to. I met a new person this weekend, Saturday night, randomly at Taco Mac came over and started talking to us. And part of Was it a listener
Jen
or just somebody random who was sitting near you?
Dan
It was a listener to the show. Definitely knew about the show. But somehow we got on the subject of oh, I know how we started talking about new babies and breastfeeding came up.
Bert
Okay.
Guest Caller
Okay.
Dan
And he told this story and Tracy, maybe you can verify this or you will just laugh at it.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
Okay.
Dan
Because I think the possibility exists that one of the nurses at the hospital where he had his baby was jacking with him.
Paulette
Okay.
Dan
Apparently when you know when you have a baby if you're gonna breastfeed the baby, they got that specialist who comes by.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
Lactation specialist?
Dan
Yes, that person. And is that a nurse? I'm assuming.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
I mean they can be, but not
Dan
always just somebody who goes to lactation school. So this person or has breastfed a
Jen
Lot of babies, one or the other.
Dan
So this person comes in the room, right. And says, you know, is talking to the mom about how to breastfeed the baby and how to get the baby to latch on for the first time and all those important things. And at some point wants to get the dad involved in the process.
Jen
So uh, oh, I'm nervous.
Dan
The end of the story is there's some yada, yada in the middle, but at the end of the story, dad is naked from the waist up, standing in the delivery room or in the hospital room holding the baby with no shirt on just to make the mom feel more comfortable about the whole process.
Jen
Weird.
Dan
Jessica started, she had tears in her eyes. I think the nurse was jacking with this.
Bert
Cause I could see if he was like, had been kind of, I don't know, I mean, how did he treat the staff when they got there? Cause that's one of those things that, you know, get this guy back.
Dan
Just a pain in the ass patient or something like that.
Jen
Yeah. Or condescending or something.
Bert
And they were like, uh huh, I get you, buddy, that's weird.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
But I thought what you were going to say is that it is possible for a man to breastfeed, which I have read it is.
Jen
What?
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
Yeah.
Bert
How is that possible?
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
I'm not exactly sure, but I've read it before. No, Scott wouldn't try it. But yeah, I think that if you
Jen
really do it enough.
Sympathy mode.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
Try it enough or something. I think it is possible for a man to breastfeed to lactate.
Bert
Uh huh.
Lady Luck
Weird.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
I mean, I'm not an expert, so don't try it and then blame me. But I think, look into it. I think it is humanly possible some
Dan
guy emails Tracy in six weeks and is like, look how chafed my nipples are.
Bert
Or some woman who comes home to
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
find her man doing that.
Bert
Right. Like honey, what are you doing?
Jen
So this guy had to be standing in the hospital room with his shirt off to make her more comfortable with
Dan
her having her shirt off.
Bert
I guess.
Dan
Apparently there's actually photographs of him doing that.
Spin Quest Announcer
Oh no.
Dan
Because his other buddy. His other buddy.
Bert
Did the nurse take the pictures? Because then she's definitely jacking with him.
Dan
Cause his other buddy was making fun of him for it. Because we were just talking about our friend who wasn't there, whose wife had started contractions and if she didn't have a baby last night, it's probably today or it's within 24 hours. So that's how the whole discussion of being in the hospital and everything came up. And then he said, well, make sure you let him know that he doesn't have to take your shirt off in the delivery room.
Jen
And it became, oh, my gosh, that is awesome.
Was this guy a good looking guy?
Dan
Yeah, I think so.
Jen
Because then, like, what if the nurse just wanted to see him with his shirt on?
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
You're on the Burch show.
Bert
Guys, I'm afraid that Katie Jo and I may have messed up a complete stranger's marriage. All right, this is what happened. So over the weekend, we were. I forgot what night it was, but, I mean, this was a big, important weekend for television, especially since the super bowl was on, right? So we were doing something, and the remote control fell off the coffee table on the floor, which, no big deal, didn't crack, didn't bust nothing. So we picked it back up and it couldn't use it anymore. Like, I don't think that cable remote controls are very, you know, I don't know, Sturdy. Sturdy. And so we realized that I guess one too many times of tossing it on the coffee table, tossing on the couch, whatever. Our remote control was broken, right? So we didn't have a remote. We didn't have a universal remote. We didn't have anything. And so we were frustrated because even with our cable box, it's a little difficult to get to everything on it. Like, there's not all the manual control. So we realized that we had been so dependent on that remote control that we were panicking about what we're going to do the rest of the weekend. So we called the cable company and the. They're like, well, next week you're gonna have to drive to, like, I forgot where, but somewhere, like in Gwinnett and we live in Fulton to go get the remote control. Like, it was not an option for them to bring us a remote control. Okay? So that was the scenario we were in. Like, we were. We were frustrated that we didn't have a remote.
Lindsay
Okay, Tanya, realize how far it is from the couch to the TV when your remote doesn't work.
Bert
But even then, if you can't punch all the buttons and get to everything you need to get to. I mean, it's even. Not even when you, you know, even when I make Katie get up and go walk to the TV since she's the athlete, then, you know, and can't do it, then it's frustrating, right?
Dan
And you'll sit and watch a crap TV show for two days just because
Lindsay
you don't want to get up.
Dan
What are you watching? A documentary On Big Bird's costume. Really?
Caller
Why?
Bert
Because that's the only channel we're getting
Lindsay
because it's six feet to the tv, and I won't get up because the
Dan
show that was on this channel yesterday at two in the afternoon was fascinating.
Bert
Yeah. So anyway, so we didn't have a remote, so we were panicked, all right? So we were out running some errands. We're going to have lunch or something. And we were coming back, and we were cutting through some streets in our neighborhood, and we saw a cable truck parked in front of a house. And I said, pull over.
Jen
Pull over.
Bert
Because I said, he's got a remote in that van somewhere. So I knew if we offered him some cash, he would give us one of the remotes, okay?
Jen
So he pulled in under the table, his ass.
Lady Luck
Okay?
Dan
So the only thing that will make Melissa get out of her wallet get out her wallet is the threat of having to leave her house for more than 15 minutes.
Bert
Whatever. So whatever. I'm not looking at you. So we pull in the driveway, okay, of this house that this, you know, cable guy is at, and he's talking to the guy that lives there on the front porch. And so we pull in and, you know, they both kind of look at us. And Katie kind of rolled down her window and said, you know, we want to talk to the cable guy. And so he's kind of gave us a signal, and he's, you know, like, okay, I'll be with y' all in a second, but I'm gonna go in and fix this problem first. Okay? No problem. So we sat in the driveway, and we ended up sitting there for maybe five, 10 minutes. And then Katie said, is this weird that we're sitting like, he's not coming out? I said, you know what?
Jen
Stalking him.
Bert
I said, I. We are getting that because we are five feet from the van.
Lindsay
This is the most motivated I've seen you in nine years.
Bert
I'm telling you. I'm telling you, we have to get that remote control. Okay.
Dan
Home to get your ninja.
Bert
But I'm telling you, you need this remote control.
Jen
Clever. I would have never thought of it. Thank you, J. I would have never thought of it.
Bert
Thank you. So we're sitting there. I'm like, no, we're not going anywhere because we're going to get that remote control. So finally, the cable guy comes out, and he comes to the car, and we explain to him what we need.
Caller
And.
Bert
And he's like, okay, no problem. He said, you just let me know where your house is. And Then I'll come by after I'm done here and we'll fix it up. Okay, no problem. So we go home, no big deal. Take the dogs out, everything. He comes by and he said, I don't think y' all realize what you did. He said, but he said that when they got in the house, when we had pulled up, him and the guy on the front porch waving, he got in the house to fix this guy's cable, and he said it. And then he heard this man's wife yelling from another room. And then the guy was pulled into that room, and he and the cable guy stood there while the two had a fight about who were the two girls that were parked outside in the driveway.
Paulette
Oh, yeah.
Bert
And what did they want?
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
Oh, no.
Bert
So we were joking with the cable guy, and we were like, well, what did you say? And cable guy said, well, it was none of my business to, you know, to get into their business. So I didn't say nothing. So the cable guy didn't say that we were there for them.
Dan
That's awesome.
Bert
So you drive back to that house,
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
you need to tell them, apologize.
Bert
It won't help because my thing is two ranch random people pulling up in a dry. Like, if two.
Paulette
Yeah.
Bert
I would not think twice about it. I'm like, there's something going on with them. Anyway. We just start like, there's some infidelity
Lindsay
going on, and now she's just not 100.
Lady Luck
Yeah.
Bert
But yeah, yeah, that's really gonna help for us to say, oh, hey, we're just coming back to let you know there's really. No, we weren't here for you. Like, that's not gonna help.
Jen
Yeah, you're right. That'll probably make it worse.
Bert
I put it on the cable guy for just standing there because he wanted to see the drama. I didn't want none of my business to say anything.
Jen
That's hilarious.
Bert
So, yeah. So, yeah. So Katie and I. Sorry if we contributed to the demise of a relationship.

n. This is the Birch Show.
Lindsay
Paulette wants to be on the voice disguiser.
Bert
Okay.
Lindsay
Got herself in some trouble over the weekend and missed some work and wants some help on how to recover. Paulette, good morning. You're on the voice disguiser.
Paulette
Good morning. How are you guys today?
Lindsay
Good. How are you today?
Paulette
Good. I listen to you guys all the time and now I'm calling for advice.
Geico Gecko
Okay?
Lindsay
You have become one of those people that you've laughed at now for years. So let us.
Paulette
I know.
I recognize that, but I really needed some help, so I decided to call. Anyway.
Bert
Welcome to the dark side.
Lindsay
Yeah, right. What's going on?
Paulette
So, obviously I watched the Super Bowl Sunday. My boyfriend and I had a big party at our place. Actually, like 25, 30 people were there. It was awesome. I grew up in New Orleans. I'm a huge Saints fan. And so clearly, I celebrated pretty late. So late, in fact, that I did not wake up the next morning for work. I was, you know, I have to be honest, I was super drunk, totally tapped out. I didn't hear my alarm and I woke up at one o' clock in the afternoon yesterday.
Lindsay
Oh, that is a bender right there.
Bert
Okay, I know what Time. Are you supposed to be in work?
Paulette
And I was so bad. I was so hungover, so I just kind of laid there and I was so distraught about what to do that I didn't even. I didn't call into work. I didn't do anything.
Bianca
Wait.
Jen
Oh.
Lindsay
Oh, nothing. So the whole day goes by and you never called? You never check in?
Paulette
No, I know, I know. I didn't. I didn't feel well. And then I was so nervous, I didn't know what to say. I was kind of in bed the whole day. I mean, you know what it's like, right?
Lindsay
Yep. You went large for sure.
Bert
You did.
Dan
Melissa's den. Then didn't you sleep 24 hours right through a job?
Bert
There was. There was a time where I had just moved that weekend and didn't get a lot of sleep and I was young and so I was probably had been drinking too, but. And I slept at four in the afternoon and I was supposed to be at work at 10.
Caller
Damn.
Bert
And I walked in, but I went like. I got up, got ready at 5pm and everybody was leaving at 5:30. And they were like, what? And I said, I'm just. I'm just owning up to it.
Lindsay
Just wanted to make sure that you guys were concerned that you thought I was dead. Really? Here I am.
Bert
But I asked earlier, what time were you supposed to be there yesterday? I'm just curious.
Paulette
Nine o'. Clock.
Nine o'.
Clock.
Jen
Could you potentially fake it like you thought you had the day off? Like since you haven't called at all?
Paulette
That's what.
I don't know what to do for today because I have. I've been thinking up some plans in my mind and I'm not sure which one to do. The first one is that I can like obviously just totally set up and explain to my boss what happened.
Dan
No.
Paulette
Or I could pretend like I had no idea. Like, I don't know, maybe I thought it was President's Day like yesterday and then I got the weeks mixed up.
Bert
Everybody knows it was Super Bowl.
Jen
Your boss already knows.
Paulette
And tell my boss that he actually signed a vacation form like a month ago and maybe he won't know.
Dan
Go with. I'd vote for the President's Day idea.
Caller
What?
Dan
President's Day is a week from yesterday. It's one week off.
Jen
Did you say you thought it was President's Day?
Dan
So going today, like, I would never
Bert
bother get President's Day off.
Dan
Oh yeah, That's a good question.
Bert
Yeah. Do you get President's Day off?
Paulette
We did, but like what if I just pretend that I like playing dumb and I say all the weeks mixed up.
Lindsay
No, you can't do that, because what you're gonna do, what you want to avoid, is an excuse that really sort of, I don't know, makes him lose or her lose respect, you know? Like, I have this idiot working for me and the President's Day. One, I think, would do that. If I'm the boss, I'm like, you're an idiot.
Bert
If it.
Bianca
Yeah.
Bert
If you had gone out on a bender at any other time of year, then maybe. But I don't. Everybody knows it was super bowl, and there's so many people that didn't make it in the next morning. So I don't see. I mean, I don't know why you can't just tell the truth.
Lindsay
404,741,Q100. Except we're not in the real world, you know, it's like with us, we could probably get away with it, you know, but in the real, we don't operate like, unless you're a banker or something, you can't do that.
Bert
I guess I just. I'm going on what you just said, Bert, because I feel like you're going to insult your boss if you come up with an excuse when the boss knows. Well, super bowl is Sunday, because if you walked around Friday talking about how you're from New Orleans and you want them to win and you made a big deal about the super bowl, then I think people know where you are, I'd be pissed.
Lindsay
So if I'm the boss and you come in and you're like, I got too drunk.
Paulette
I've only been there three months, which is, like, part of the problem. And I sit in a cubicle by myself. So, like, for all I know, there's, like, a tiny chance I didn't even realize I wasn't there.
Lindsay
And nobody called you during the day, either?
Jen
No.
Paulette
I mean, I work in customer service. It's not like I'm part of a critical team, you know?
Lindsay
It certainly is making you probably feel less than essential personnel if you go an entire day and nobody calls. Nobody at all.
Dan
Yeah, well aware.
Jen
What if you went in and you still make it your fault if they call you out on the mistake, but that you say you thought you turned in a vacation form for Monday, you're like, I'm a huge Saints fan. Y' all know I'm a huge Saints fan. I thought I turned in a vacation form, did I not? And then if they bust you for not turning In a vacation form, you're still taking the blame on yourself and saying, you know what? I am so sorry. I really thought that I had turned that in. I checked it off my list, whatever it is you got to do, and because you're still owning it, that it's your fault. But you're not, you know what I'm saying? You're not going full disclosure on the getting hammered and forgetting to get to work thing.
Dan
You could even go above and beyond that and fill out a form. Like, as soon as you get in. And the minute you get there, walk into your boss's office and go, oh, my God, I filled this out last week and I walked in, thought I took it, and it was sitting on my desk.
Bert
Well, it's almost the same. It's almost. If you go in like that, prepared, it almost seems like a lie. Like you said, you don't know. Part of me is curious about you just going in and not doing anything yet until you get called out. And like Jen said, because if you don't think anybody noticed you were gone, then I think if you go in and nobody says anything, then you're clear. I mean, it might make you feel bad about your job, but, I mean, at least you're not in trouble.
Lindsay
Hey, Tim. Good morning. You're part of the virta.
Bert
Hey, good morning.
Caller
That's awesome. I love you guys.
Lindsay
Thanks for calling, man.
Caller
Family emergency of her family is Saints fans. One of her family members partied too
Bert
hard and had to go into the hospital, and she had to go be
Caller
with them and didn't have any time to call.
Lindsay
Yeah, the problem with that is you should still check in, even if it's whatever, just.
Dan
And Wendy made a good point.
Jen
Yeah, that's bad karma because then you're wishing that to happen to a family member. Yeah, don't use that.
Lindsay
I think the best one so far is Jen's idea. Thought I turned in the vacation request because I knew I'd be out.
Dan
Right.
Lindsay
Hey, Dan, good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller
Yo, what's going on? Just want to say I love you guys. You guys rock.
Lindsay
Thank you, sir.
Jen
Love you too, darling.
Caller
She could go either way with this. And I mean, but it really depends on her boss. How is her boss? Is he like, you know, one of those where he's like, hardcore if she's like two minutes late or is he like, well, you know, just make it up later or whatever? You know, like, what kind of a boss is, you know, Is this guy
Lindsay
real old school, conservative by the Book
Paulette
dude, somewhere in between, I think. You know, I've only been there three months so I haven't had to address any of these issues with him yet. But I mean, he doesn't, you know, we're supposed to be there at 9. He doesn't come till 9:30, you know, he leaves exactly at 5. So it's not like he's above and beyond type of boss. But you know, I've never had a run in with him so I don't know how he'll react. I've only been there three months.
Bert
Are you at work right now?
Paulette
You know, I'm on my way right now. I'm in the car, I should be there.
Bert
Are you going to be.
Lindsay
You're going to have the late thing
Bert
going for you late today.
Lindsay
Here's Sarah. Good morning, Sarah.
Paulette
So, you know, it's okay if I'm a minute or two late, you know, there's so much traffic here.
Lindsay
Hey, Sarah.
Caller
Hey.
Lindsay
Hey. Paulette here just didn't show up to work yesterday because she got too drunk at our super bowl party. Passed out, didn't wake up till one. So she had and nobody called her. So what does she do when she gets into the office today?
Guest Caller
Yeah, what I think is it kind of depends on what her boss thinks that I'm a boss too. I had an employee who actually called out yesterday and I would have appreciate. He called out sick. But you know, I definitely think he was probably hungover from partying for the super bowl. And I would have appreciated if he had just called and said, hey, you know what, I'm hungover from the Super Bowl. And rather than telling me he was sick because I really just didn't believe that. So. And I'm the kind of boss that would have understood that instead of some far fetched lie. So if her boss is understanding at all, then you know, I would have appreciated the truth.
Lindsay
The problem is we don't know anything about this guy. She has very little reaction or interaction with him, so we don't know how he or she is gonna react. So I like the, I thought I put in the vacation request idea, especially
Jen
if you get ahead of it, owning the mistake, but it's not as bad as what it would typically be.
Lindsay
And then you just say, look, just, you know, obviously I'll take it as a vacation day. I thought that's what I was doing.
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
My bad.
Bert
Don't you agree though? Only if she's asked.
Lindsay
Only if she's asked.
Bert
I think you go in and just. I don't think you volunteer anything.
Lindsay
Right.
Dan
But you don't think it could be a situation where her boss is waiting to see how she's gonna handle it?
Jen
No. If he's mad, he'll approach her.
Bert
Yeah, because even when I slept in that day, they were trying to call me. Like the fact that nobody tried to call you. I don't know if anybody.
Jen
Maybe they thought you had it scheduled.
Bert
Yeah.
Lindsay
They may not even know that you're an employee today. You'll find that out if your key
Jen
card doesn't work walking in the building, then, you know, they. They found out and they were pretty upset.
Dan
You go upstairs and your area's just cleaned out.
Jen
Yeah.
Lindsay
Wait a minute.
Dan
Pictures of another family on your desk.
Bretzky
What?
Bert
And a box with a plant in it that you're supposed to take with you. Because I don't know why everybody thinks
Dan
there's always a plant in a box.
Lindsay
Hey, Paulette, will you do us a favor and at least email us later on today and let us know how it went so we can follow up with you tomorrow?
Caller
Sounds good.
Lindsay
Okay.

All right, good luck.

What's the name of the. What's the name of the game?
Bianca
Sorority life.
Lindsay
Sorority life.
Dan
And how old are you?
Bianca
19.
Dan
And you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth. This is like middle school stuff.
Bianca
No, it's a sorority stuff.
Bert
It's sorority stuff.
Lindsay
You realize you're at the age where you could be doing this in real life. You could be in a sorority.
Bert
Don't listen to the haters. Don't listen to the haters.
Bianca
But it's funny because it's a lot of older people on there.
Lindsay
So anyway, like, in their 20s and
Bianca
their 50s, they're people.
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
What?
Bert
Yeah, their grandma's on there who weren't in Greek life. Pro. Now, do you have a name for your sorority house? Do you have a name?
Bianca
We don't pick names for it. It's just like, our friend list.
Bert
Gotcha.
Lindsay
So it's not random people that are coming into your sorority? It's made up? Only if people that.
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
You know.
Bianca
Yes.
Jen
Okay.
Lindsay
That does change things a little bit.
Bianca
And people want to join, but they'll have to go through your. Be your friend on Facebook, and then you can add them later.
Jen
So it's like initiation?
Bert
Yes.
Lindsay
And do they have to be, like, okayed by a certain amount of members in the sorority like a real sorority?
Bianca
No.
Lindsay
Okay.
Bert
You don't haze them or anything? No, I'm sorry. That's not legal. I'm sorry.
Jen
Once you're in the game, what do you actually do?
Bianca
Okay, so you have to get influence points and you level up. Like, the higher level, the more stuff you can do.
Jen
So how do you get an influence point?
Bianca
Okay, so you organize events and you fight rival rivals. So that's how you get points.
Dan
How does someone become your rival?
Bianca
If they attack you, then you just. They're just in another house and they just want to attack you because why do they Attack you just because they're not in our house.
Lindsay
Are they trying to take anything from your house?
Bianca
It's like the Deltas and the akas,
Jen
so it's like a sorority row.
Bert
So let's pretend you're an AKA and the Delta's attacking you. How is that. How did she do that? How did. How did all this start?
Dan
Well, pulling hair and a pillow fight, and then you end up in the group shower. I've seen that dvd.
Bert
You just hit.
Bianca
You click fight on the app, and then you just pick whoever you want to fight. You hit attack. And then you take their boyfriends, and it's just.
Lindsay
Wait a second. Wait, wait, wait.
Bianca
You can do a whole bunch of stuff, okay? You can take their. It's called glam. Like their accessories.
Bert
All right?
Lindsay
At least this one has some fun to it. It's way better than farm Building.
Dan
Steal their caboodle.
Bianca
Yeah, you can steal their boyfriends.
Lindsay
Really?
Bianca
Yeah.
Bert
So what did she steal from you?
Bianca
She didn't steal nothing. She attacked me and she lost.
Bert
Oh, okay.
Lindsay
So how do you defend yourself and win?
Bianca
Well, it's the bigger your house, the more chances you have of winning. Okay, So I guess she didn't have much people in her house, but she lost and she got upset and she kept trying to attack me, and she kept on losing. So I attacked her back and I attacked her like, 10 times. And she wrote me on a message. She cursed me out. She was upset. She's like, why the f do you keep attacking me? That. I said, you attacked me first. She's like, well, can you please not attack me anymore? I said, sure. Then she attacks me again. So then I attack her back. You gotta take her out, you know, just like that. So she keeps writing like, this is really pissing me off. You know, you keep messing me up, stealing this. That. I'm like, it's not that serious. It's just a game. Calm down. Right? So I put. I put it on my Facebook status that these people are taking these games way too serious. And then this girl writes, maybe because we buy our brownie points. Oh, brownie points are something that you need in order to buy stuff. So she's like, well, I buy mines with my credit card. I say, whoa, you're taking it a little too serious now.
Bert
Yeah.
Bianca
You know how you can get points on farmville?
Jen
Yeah.
Bert
Some of these, the way they make their money is like, there's some things that are unobtainable unless you buy the points for it. So on farmville, I don't do that. But I know there's people who have ran their credit card and their PayPal account.
Dan
Store calls you three, and it cost you 3.99 or something.
Bert
And they buy their mansion on their farm based on physical money that they've paid.
Dan
I want to create a game where there's a sorority house on a farm and it's going to take over. That's my girl. Take them out to the barn and haze them. You know what I'm saying?
Lindsay
Hey, Bryce. Good morning. You're on Q100.
Dan
Show them the Golden Rooster.
Paulette
Hey, I'm addicted to sorority life, too. Like, every morning when I wake up, that's the first thing I do.
Jen
For how long?
Paulette
For, like, the past year.
Caller
No.
Dan
How much time do you spend on. How much time do you each spend on it every single day?
Bianca
I'm on it, like, two hours a day.
Paulette
I'm on it, like, more than that.
Lindsay
More than two hours a day. How many hours we talking about?
Paulette
Maybe, like, four.
Lindsay
And what are you doing in that four hours?
Paulette
Like, if I'm in class, I'll be on sorority life. Like, just whenever I have free time. That's what I'm doing.
Lindsay
What school do you go to?
Paulette
Georgia State.
Lindsay
Okay. You'll be there for six or seven or eight years. Enjoy.
Bert
Well, like, I know in Farmville, like, you are planning and harvesting, and, like, there's time. There's things that will take up your time. And I can. I now understand why people say they're on there for a little long. What is it you do in sorority of life that you. You know, little things you do around?
Bianca
Well, I just fight people now. And that makes you, like, get a lot of points.
Bert
So you're the tough chick in your house.
Paulette
Yeah,
Lindsay
it's like jail, man.
Dan
Standard sorority theft. You cry. You have crying points where you cry to your roommate about something and you have to refill your birth control points where you go and you refill your birth. Then you have the unprotected sex points. Then you.
Guest Caller
Yeah.
Jen
So do you guys team up with any fraternities on sorority.
Bianca
I wish they did have one like that, though. But no, not yet, because then you could have.
Dan
You could have a.
Jen
When I was actually in a sorority was like, when you. Which house. Like, which fraternity house you teamed up with for different events or parades or floats or, you know, social mixers or whatever. It was like, that's how you sort of increase your status on campus was like.
Lindsay
And what she's talking about is. She's talking about there's an actual Building
Jen
where girls and like about 53 girls lived in the house. Like actually lived in the house.
Bert
Y' all are sounding old because you know what? People are on these things.
Jen
I would join the sorority house if there was a fraternity because then at least I would have a virtual boyfriend, right?
Caller
Yeah.
Bert
It's a way to meet people.
Lady Luck
I know.
Lindsay
Hey, Katrina.
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
Good morning.
Dan
Actual boyfriend on Craigslist. Wendy.
Lindsay
Katrina.
Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
What's up?
Caller
Hi. I miss the girl's name that's talking about sorority life, but I'm also addicted. I'm actually playing right now and I've actually been playing since I got up at 7:30. So my computer stays on sorority life about all day until I go to sleep about 11 o' clock at night because I even play it at work.
Bert
Are you as tough as our intern Bianca?
Caller
Yes, I'm. I'm very, very, very much addicted. And yeah. So we should join houses or you
Lindsay
guys should just kick each other's ass.
Caller
Yeah.
Jen
You're attack her later on today.
Bert
I know it.
Bianca
I wanted to say one more thing. It's crazy that there are guys that's on it and they're acting like girls. Like really guys that play sorority life on sorority life.
Jen
I just wanted to say that.
Lindsay
And how do you know? How do you know they're guys?
Bianca
Because I know them and it'll say their name. And I'm just clowning them on their own page. Like, why are you on sorority life now?
Dan
Are they. Are they really playing? Are they just trying to get in the house to slip you a virtual rupee?
Jen
One guy fought you?
Yeah.
Lindsay
Did you beat his ass?
Bianca
No, but I'm coming back.

Show Host (possibly Dan or Bert)
Hey, the Bird show.
Lindsay
We talk about this every single year right around this time. And for a lot of you couples, you're in this tweener stage right now for Valentine's Day and you're not exactly sure what to get each other. Right? And at least for a guy, maybe it goes both ways. Also, the present that you get for Valentine's Day might speak. It may define where you think the relationship is and he may not be in the same place and vice versa.
Bert
Right.
Lindsay
So before I run through this list that we talk about every single year of what appropriate gifts are for the time that you're going out. If you guys have a couple of seconds to call us. 404-741-Q100, tell us about like the inappropriate gift you got based on the time that you're going out for Valentine's Day. And this could go both ways. Like you could be married for 20 years and he gave you something scratch off tickets. Yeah. Like insignificant. Like a lottery ticket is perfect. Or it goes the other way also where you guys are dating for four weeks.
Bert
He gets you diamonds.
Lindsay
He gets you diamonds or a car or something like that. Because I think the best way to learn what those windows are is by hearing others mistakes.
Bert
Yeah, agreed.
Lindsay
And this is a, this is important right here especially I mean, Jen, for you. You've been dating this dude now how long?
Jen
Like two and a half months.
Lindsay
That's a tweener stage right there.
Jen
It is.
Lindsay
Even though the movie is the relationship has progressed quickly in two months, it's still only 60 days. So you got a tough decision ahead of you.
Jen
And my question is like, what do you get dudes for Valentine's Day? It's almost to me easier for guys because you've got so many different like categories for women already set up for you. You know, like Melissa did her de Geller thing last night. Like jewelry is, you know, a home run every single time. Like, you know, you're always going to Solomon Brothers for Stacey, like all that stuff. So you guys have like kind of like a go to category. But for women, like what do you don't get like hearts on boxers, like unless you're in the eighth grade, you know, like what do you get for men for Valentine's Day if you don't want to go? Something as expensive as like a watch. Because I think a watch would be like a one or two year relationship, right?
Lindsay
Yeah, that's a major one right there.
Jen
It's like a really great, nice, like handsome gift for a man. But that, I mean, you could be the other watch. Too early. Yeah, you have to be together a while to do that. So what do you get for guys at a total loss?
Lindsay
Let's learn from your mistakes here. So we're looking for the most inappropriate gift for the amount of time that you guys were going out. Hey, Sarah, good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'M on the radio.
Guest Caller
I love you guys.
Lindsay
Thank you.
Paulette
I dated a guy.
Guest Caller
He was really hot. We dated for like two months. He was super romantic. And not only did I get my gift late, but I got a toilet paper holder.
Jen
What?
Guest Caller
A toilet paper holder next to your toilet to hold toilet paper.
Lindsay
Like, I mean, that's not a good gift. That doesn't have anything to do with the amount of time you're going out. That's just a bad gift, period.
Caller
It was.
Guest Caller
And the part. The sad thing was is that my parents bought the same one, like, a couple months later. And it was even missing the part like he got on clearance or something.
Lindsay
What are you thinking, dude?
Jen
That's worse than nothing at all. Because I. I dated somebody for like five or six months before Valentine's Day once, and I got nothing.
Paulette
Really?
Lindsay
Nada.
Jen
Zero. And so I think that that might actually be better than a toilet paper holder.
Lindsay
The relationship is gonna end up in the same place.
Dan
Well, you know, very true.
Lindsay
Save the 75 cents.
Dan
Think of what you do immediately after thinking of him every time you see the toilet paper holder. And it might be appropriate.
Lindsay
404-741-Q100 in inappropriate gifts for Valentine's Day, based on how long you guys been going out with each other. Hey, Ann. Hi.
Paulette
Hi. How are you?
Lindsay
Good. How are you?
Guest Caller
Pretty good. So I got a set of tires for Valentine's Day one year.
Bert
Nice.
Lindsay
You guys were dating for how long?
Guest Caller
We had been dating for over a year.
Lindsay
Over a year.
Host (possibly Jen or Bert)
Tires.
Paulette
Yeah. So he was being told me later
Guest Caller
that he was going to get them for my birthday, which is the 23rd, and he didn't want to wait that long, so he got him for Valentine's Day.
Lindsay
See, we're problem solvers.
Jen
Yeah.
Bert
He spent money, right? I mean, a lot of. I mean, tires are expensive. So I don't fault him too much.
Lindsay
There's nothing romantic about it, but he
Bert
was trying to help.
Paulette
Really romantic.
Guest Caller
It was definitely practical. But I got him a leather jacket and I had a little tie. Rubber basket delivered to his office. And the next day he took me to the. The garage and we both sat there while the tires were changed.
Bert
But it was also personal.
Jen
It's on a neat basis, though.
It took some thought.
Dan
And he sat with you while the tires are changed? I mean, what's romantic than having a nice quiet conversation interrupted by the sounds of an air drill?
Jen
See, I think if he did the tires and then he did something sweet like cook her dinner himself at home, it would have been totally fine because there Would have been like a more sweet side to that.
Lindsay
See, now the toilet paper holder girl thinks the four tires is awesome.
Jen
Amazing.
Lindsay
The most considerate guy ever.
Bert
Yes.
Jen
I would have preferred four tires over nothing.
Lindsay
Hey, Mandy. Good morning. You're on Q100.
Caller
Good morning. I would have took the tires over what I got myself. Let me build this up for you. We have been going out about six or seven months and I put so much thought into his gift. I went and got a red toolbox and filled it with red candies and a red Sears gift card. I was so happy. Knew I was getting jewelry. We get to Valentine's Day and y' all are gonna have to read into this a little bit. He went to Starship and brought my gift home.
Bert
No,
Dan
we didn't really have to read into that.
Paulette
It's before 8:30.
Caller
Starship, six months. Been going out. I was crushed. I was so upset. Wow.
Bert
Well, it is Valentine's Day right now.
Guest Caller
Yeah.
Caller
Well, I appreciated it later, but not
Bert
so much at Valentine's Day after you broke up.
Dan
Yeah. When you were alone.
Lindsay
I was gonna say. So, like, did that say to you. Did that say to you like, it was more of an emotional relationship for you, but it was more physical for him?
Caller
Well, we're still together, so
Bert
I guess it works.
Lindsay
All right, hold on.
Dan
Freaky.
Jen
Freaky.
Bert
It worked out.
Lindsay
Good morning, Lauren. You're on Q100. Hi.
Paulette
I had a guy proposed to me after three months of dating. Including, like, meeting and dating. Three months?
Lindsay
He proposed to you on Valentine's Day after three months?
Paulette
Yes. It was crazy. He always seemed really desperate. And I was actually in the process of trying to figure out how to leave him. And he proposed on Valentine's Day, so it was really crazy.
Jen
What'd you say at the time?
Paulette
I said yes because I was really into him, but I was just really shocked. I didn't know what to do. But about two weeks later, I called him over and was like, pretty much told him he lost his mind. And so that's all over with now.
Jen
So did you say I don't even know your middle name?
Paulette
Yeah, right. Like, I'd never met his parents or anything. So it was really, really crazy.
Geico Gecko
Wow.
Lindsay
Here is Carla. Carla was married for 10 years. Hey. Hey, Carla.
Guest Caller
Hey.
Bert
Yeah, I got a basketball hoop.
Lindsay
A basketball hoop for Valentine's Day. After 10 years of marriage.
Guest Caller
Yeah.
Caller
That was more for my boys than
Guest Caller
it was for me.
Rakuten Announcer
You think?
Bert
Boy, that sucks. Having a Valentine's Day give gift given to you when it's really for the person you know who's giving it sucks,
Lindsay
which is what happened to Carter.
Jen
It'd be better if it were for your kids than if it were just for him.
Bert
You know I'm joking because Katie got me today, Donna. 500 tickets. And how long for Valentine's Day?
Dan
And before you met her, you were a race car fan, NASCAR fan for how many years?
Jen
Zero.
Caller
Okay,
Bert
I'm not complaining. I'm not complaining because it'll be fun and then.
Dan
But she did get you that something cool while you're there, right? Or no, that's her. That's her.
Bert
I get that for her.
Lindsay
Hey, Michelle. Good Morning. You're on Q100.
Guest Caller
Hey, good morning.
Lindsay
Hi.
Guest Caller
After a year of dating this guy, I got a bottle of Captain Morgan. And I don't drink, but he does.
Bert
Oh, my God.
Guest Caller
That was really romantic.
Lindsay
That's. I think where we got to go with this later in the show is the focus on unselfish Valentine's Day presents. Like in Melissa's case, It's the Daytona 500 tickets, which really aren't for her. They're for her girlfriend. In this case, it's the bottle of Captain Morgan. She didn't even drink, so it's really for the guy that got it for her.
Jen
And I'm sure guys get surround sound systems for their whole house for their wife, right? Look, honey, I got you surround sounds
Dan
so we can watch movies together.
