Key Segments & Discussions

1. Teen Sibling Drama Goes Viral – "The Hookup List"

Timestamps: [01:01] – [13:22]

• The Scenario: Bert introduces a story from Facebook where a teenage boy, after being grounded for having a 12-pack of beer (his sister ratted him out), seeks revenge by sharing a handwritten list he found in his sister’s room. The list details, explicitly, her romantic and sexual encounters with various boys—names, acts, and even a "to-do" deadline.
• Hosts' Reactions: Bert and his co-hosts are both shocked and amused by the existence of such a "scorecard":
  • “As a guy looking at this, I had no idea any woman kept, like, a scorecard or like a baseball card of statistics…” — Bert [03:45]
• Callers Weigh In: Multiple female callers admit keeping similar lists, ranging from point systems (half points for "not all the way") to detailed journals, though most agree writing details is risky.
  • “I kept points where all the way was one point, and not all the way was half a point.” — Ashley [06:57]
  • “The list that I make are just kind of like names and where I met them, just in case…like I go to the doctor one day…” — Kelsey [08:12]
• List’s Fallout: The hosts discover the list’s page is real and find that the sister herself commented, angrily demanding it be taken down, and all the boys (and some friends) were tagged in the post. The group debates the escalation and the far-reaching consequences for both siblings.

Notable Moment:

• The real implication dawns on everyone:
  • “She’s got a goal. I mean, we always are told to write down our list…” — Producer [10:12]
  • “I would much rather at this point find the alcohol in my kid’s bedroom than that list.” — Caller (Mom of 3) [12:51]

---

2. Heroic 5-Year-Old Saves Dad with a 911 Call

Timestamps: [13:54] – [23:27]

• The Audio: The Bert Show shares unedited audio from a real 911 call where a 5-year-old girl, Savannah, calmly helps save her dad, Frank, who is having a heart attack. Bert highlights the call as “an emotional roller coaster…just so intriguing to listen to the entire time.” [15:14]
• Highlights: Savannah’s innocence (noting she needs to change out of pajamas several times) mixes with her composure as she unlocks the door, keeps her dad awake, updates the operator, and even comforts their small dog.
  • “We’re in our jammies…but can’t hardly breathe.” — Savannah [17:27]
  • “Just make sure your daddy’s probably okay. You have to stay awake a couple minutes. I can hear him [the ambulance].” — Savannah [19:50]
• Impact: The show and callers are moved by Savannah’s poise and the crucial role she played:
  • “That girl’s five years old, saved her dad. He lives. He saved her dad’s life.” — Bert [21:54]
  • “She was so calm and composed and just so mature.” — Caller [23:14]
  • Hosts joke that the dad “owes her anything she asks for now—car, tuition…” [23:27]

---

3. Mystery Text Sparks Workplace Suspicion

Timestamps: [25:14] – [37:22]

• The Set-Up: A listener, Leslie, received a cryptic text from an unknown number: “It’s not all about you, leave it alone.” She calls in, baffled. Bert follows up by calling the sender, who, with disguised voice, claims Leslie knows exactly what it’s about and hints at office backstabbing.
  • “She knows exactly what’s going on…and next time, it would be a lot worse than a text message.” — Anonymous Caller [30:38].
• Leslie’s Side: Leslie maintains ignorance, suggesting office rumors about who will attend an upcoming London conference may be at play, but denies any wrongdoing, insisting she only vented to a friend.
  • “I mean, I sort of feel like I deserve to go, but I haven’t done anything…just vented to one coworker.” — Leslie [33:00]
• Caller Theories: Listeners call in with theories; some believe it’s the hard-working coworker, others suspect the boss.
  • “It’s the boss. Only person she’s questioning is the boss’s choice, and the threat at the end...sounds like it could be your job.” — Caller, Jill [36:04]
• Outcome: Leslie is advised to call the number from the office to see who answers; the episode ends promising an update.

---

4. Quick Q&A with Dr. Oz

Timestamps: [38:53] – [48:17]

• Soda Habits: Producer Tracy asks about her husband’s 2-liter Dr. Pepper daily habit. Dr. Oz confirms the health risks (bone loss, empty calories, future health problems) and gives permission to “smack him upside his head” to make him stop.
  • “If I had to pick one thing to change in America…it’s soft drinks.” — Dr. Oz [39:52]
• PCOS and Pregnancy:
  • “The remarkable thing about PCOS…is that through aggressive dietary treatment, you can lose enough weight that you reset your hormones.” [41:56]
• Urine Therapy Fad: Dr. Oz dispels rumors that drinking one’s own urine has any significant health benefit (unless stranded without water).
  • “Urine is a waste product, obviously…there are probably worse things you could do for yourself.” [43:13]
• Sleep Issues: Bert confesses to being reliant on Lunesta. Dr. Oz emphasizes sleep hygiene and aiming for 7.5 hours, even with busy lives.
  • “Your inability to sleep is a wake up call…you’ve got to restructure your life…” [44:38]
• Listeners Praise Dr. Oz: Compliments for the way he treats everyone with respect and the influence of Oprah's mentorship. [47:18]

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Keeping Score:

  • “I thought that women somehow, like, put the number in the corner of their brain…and just kind of forgot about it.” — Bert [11:04]
  • “I would much rather find the alcohol in my kid’s bedroom than that list.” — Caller (Mom of 3) [12:51]

• On the 911 Call:

  • “You did a good job, Savannah, okay?” — 911 Operator [21:40]
  • “She was so calm and composed and just so mature…” — Caller [23:14]

• On Office Drama:

  • “She knows exactly what it’s about…next time it could be a lot worse than a text message, so she should consider herself lucky.” — Anonymous Caller [30:38]

• On Soda Health Risks:

  • “Being thin and being healthy are not the same. I’d rather be heavy and in good shape than thin and in bad shape.” — Dr. Oz [39:52]

• On Sleep:

  • “If I had to pick one thing for folks to focus on this coming year—it’s to try to get seven and a half hours sleep a day.” — Dr. Oz [45:56]

the

[Bert (Host)]

Bird show all right, here's one I'm curious about because this may be made up on Facebook, but there's no way for me to properly relay the words that are on this Facebook page without us totally losing our license. But the story goes that this dude got sort of put on restriction and

[Co-host or Producer]

how old is he? Teenager.

[Bert (Host)]

Let me read it to you. Yeah, he got busted because he was drinking some beer and his sister ratted him out. I've been grounded for the next three months. Why? Because Kate decided to rot rat me out and tell my parents about the 12 pack I was hiding in my room. My parents are Asian and all of you know that Asian parents are expletive with an F. Strict 12 cans equals three months of being grounded. Little over the top. Not if your parents are Asian and your sister is a filthy expletive with a starts with a W but it sounds like an H

[Co-host or Producer]

Since all so far so good.

[Bert (Host)]

Since all I can do and all I'll ever do for the next two and a half months involves sitting in front of a computer all day, I thought I'd get a little revenge today. Everybody out there might think my sister is such a sweet and innocent girl, but a few days ago I decided to go treasure hunting in her room and and found a little something special hidden in her closet. This will make the next two and a half months bearable. Ladies and gentlemen, my sister is a expletive with a W. That sounds like

[Producer or Staff Member]

an H

[Bert (Host)]

and it's a list of 10 guys and the things that they did to her or she did to them.

[Co-host or Producer]

And he found this because she had written it down.

[Bert (Host)]

She must have written it and put it somewhere. Maybe it was in a journal. But he went into a room. It looks like it's just. Yeah, it looks like it's a page ripped right out of a journal and it's handwritten. And number one on the list is Adrian with his last name. And she says that he. Oh, and we're getting hand signals here in the studio. And she gave him a.

[Co-host or Producer]

Okay,

[Bert (Host)]

Ronnie again, his last name is sort of blurred out. She gave him a right. Jacob, number three. She only kissed Laurel this. She gave him this and that.

[Co-host or Guest]

How old is this sister? Do we know?

[Bert (Host)]

I don't know.

[Co-host or Guest]

She's pretty advanced.

[Kit Kat Advertiser]

She is.

[Bert (Host)]

My question here is for women. As a guy looking at this, I had no idea any woman kept, like, a scorecard or like a. Almost like baseball card of statistics with the guys that they hook up, hooked up with. Now, this could have been back when you were in high school, but if you're a woman, do you have, like, a list of the dudes that you hooked up with and what you did to them and what they did to you, or is this just, like, an anomaly?

[Co-host or Guest]

I think most women either have a mental list, and I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of them write it down somewhere. See, I've never written it down ever, or described anything. You could go through the whole list, couldn't you? Yeah, more than likely, probably. But never would ever write it down because of that. Like, you never know who could find that list.

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah.

[Bert (Host)]

404741. Q100. James is sweet. He just gave her a. I think this is Valentine's, but she wrote down V card. Is there something new that I don't know about called the V card?

[Co-host or Guest]

Is that your virginity?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Yes.

[Co-host or Producer]

Virginity.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Oh, okay.

[Bert (Host)]

Oh, sorry.

[Co-host or Guest]

James got the real.

[Bert (Host)]

Okay, gotcha. Okay, thanks, Brandon. The V card. Gotcha. She only kissed Brian. Sorry, Brian. She writes if he cuts his hair, I might give him a. Oh, my God.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Okay,

[Bert (Host)]

Russell, he, you know, sort of went.

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah, yep, we got it.

[Bert (Host)]

Kind of right hand motioned border, so to speak. You know what I'm saying?

[Co-host or Guest]

The hand motions in here are hysterical. He went to Australia.

[Bert (Host)]

Okay, gotcha. Russell was also awesome. And he made her. Brett.

[Co-host or Guest]

He bought her Oprah's magazine.

[Bert (Host)]

Brett smeared out last name. She just wrote God next to. Yeah, that means it's good. Brett is getting high fived by all of us today.

[Co-host or Producer]

He got all of the above.

[Bert (Host)]

And she also writes about Brett. I Will do anything he wants. I will be everything he wants. So hot. So that's on the Internet.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Co-host or Guest]

So we don't know how old the sister is. And I'm assuming by the handwriting, sent this to everybody.

[Bert (Host)]

Yeah, well, he put it on his Facebook page. So I'm assuming by the handwriting that she's, what, 17? She's still in high school.

[Co-host or Guest]

She could be young. Yeah, she could be really young.

[Co-host or Producer]

She's living at home. I mean, like.

[Co-host or Guest]

Like, she's definitely in high school.

[Co-host or Producer]

She's definitely in high school because she's living at home. And she ratted him out. I'm assuming he's the younger brother.

[Bert (Host)]

Right, Right.

[Co-host or Producer]

She's the older sister. And she. He got in trouble for ever having beer in his room, which I don't care if your parents are Asian, black, or white, you're gonna get in trouble with having a 12 pack in your room.

[Caller]

Right.

[Co-host or Producer]

And, yeah, so it sounds to me like, yeah, there's an older sister who's, you know, in high school.

[Bert (Host)]

Good morning, Ashley. You're on Q100. Hi.

[Caller]

Hello.

[Bert (Host)]

Hi.

[Caller]

I was listening because you guys acted. People keep boys.

[Bert (Host)]

Yeah. Did you make a list of all, like, the guys that you had sex with and all the graphic things that you did with them?

[Caller]

I didn't put it. I didn't write, like, a little description of what happened, but I kept points where. I don't know exactly what I can say, but where all the way with one point and where not all the way with half a point.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Okay.

[Caller]

I haven't kept it up to date, but I made it back when I was in high school. So people definitely keep a list, because my sister has a list, too.

[Co-host or Producer]

I forgot about. There was a girl that. And I've told this story before in English class. And, you know, we were a little young. We were freshmen. And I was sitting behind her, and she had her calendar out, and there were stars on certain days, and there was star on that day. And so I said, well, what's the star for? Thinking she's got a test or something. And she's like, no, that's. That was all the time she's had sex. So she'd already had sex that morning before. So she was putting it in her calendar and just opening it up in class and just letting everybody see teachers

[Co-host or Guest]

think that they're so smart that, like, if her mom found that, their mom would not know. Like, oh, my mom is so stupid. She will never figure this out.

[Co-host or Producer]

Adults are so clueless.

[Bert (Host)]

Ashley, how many points did you get to before you're like, oh, my God, I don't want to know this about myself, and then you just stop the list.

[Caller]

I don't think I can answer that.

[Bert (Host)]

Okay, that's probably smart. Thank you for calling from the McDonald's drive thru. We appreciate it. Good morning, kelsey, you're on Q100. Hi.

[Caller]

Hi. I used to make a list when I was in high school with all the juicy details and everything, but I'm 22, so I'm in college now, and things have gotten kind of like a little bit more intense. So the list that I make are just kind of like names and, like, where I've met them just in case, like, I go to the doctor one

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

day or like, I get a phone

[Caller]

call and need to, like, make the

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

appropriate phone calls, like, as to what to do next.

[Bert (Host)]

That is organization that even producer Tracy can be proud of. Right there. That is really, really great thinking right there.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Just in case.

[Bert (Host)]

Thank you very much.

[Co-host or Producer]

Her just in case. Rolodex.

[Bert (Host)]

Jessica says this is only a partial list. Hey, Jessica. Good morning.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Good morning.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey. How are you this morning?

[Caller]

I'm good.

How are you guys?

[Bert (Host)]

Okay.

[Caller]

So I've seen this list through emails, you know, people forwarding it to me, and I got really intrigued by it and I even, like, tried to Google and find out how old these kids were and to see if it's real because there are actually some things that say that it's not real.

[Co-host or Guest]

Okay.

[Caller]

But if you look at the list, you'll notice that these are not just things that this girl has done, but things that this girl wants to do to these boys. She also has a date on it. I think it was like April 2010 of her deadline of when she wants to do them by.

[Bert (Host)]

Yeah, it says the top of the page. It has a whole bunch of, like, darkened in hearts and scribbles and stuff. And it says my hookup list, and it says deadline for 2010 on it. So she wants to get all this done. Either she's done it or. Well, it looks like the first three she did, like, she wrote down this is what I want to do, and they're crossed out almost like a to do list. Like you finally did it. So she still has. She's got a couple more to go. She. She. She got Russell done, she got Jacob done, and she got Ronnie done. But she's got some work ahead of her. But I'm confident she's an overachiever.

[Co-host or Producer]

She's got a goal. I mean, we always are told to write down our list. So that we can keep things, you know, efficient.

[Co-host or Guest]

Two more months, tabulate them all. You know, her younger brother is like, the whole grounding thing is going to be the least of his worries because she's going to kill him. Literally kill him.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey, Ashley. Good morning.

[Caller]

Hello, Burt. So I love you guys.

[Bert (Host)]

Thank you.

[Caller]

Hey. Yeah, so me and my girlfriend, one day, we're at a Mexican restaurant drinking margaritas, and we wrote down a list of everyone, you know, that we had done the deal with and vowed that we would go home and burn it as soon as we got home. But it was fun, you know, little girl time, drinking margaritas. And we're kind of a. I'm used to have some of the same people on it, though.

[Bert (Host)]

Oh, really? Oh, that must. That, that must increase the margarita intake.

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah, I think a few shots were taken after that, but it was fun.

[Bert (Host)]

See, I thought that women somehow, like, put the number in the corner of their brain somewhere and then just kind of forgot about it. So I'm a little surprised that as an adult, you would go over that list and sort of reflect on how many guys it has been.

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, yeah. That was a whole conversation with me and a bunch of my girlfriends last summer at the pool. Everybody was going through their list and trying to remember and trying to. Yeah, trying to go through that mental list and remember it all.

[Caller]

It was about three years ago, but,

[Co-host or Guest]

you know, for some reason, that's fun.

[Bert (Host)]

Is it?

[Co-host or Guest]

It's entertaining.

[Caller]

Well, thank you so much.

[Bert (Host)]

Thanks for calling. Thank you. What'd you find, Brandon?

[Staff Member or Researcher]

I googled my hookup list just to see if there's anything more to it. And they actually have the Facebook page and the sister replies to the note.

[Producer or Staff Member]

No.

[Bert (Host)]

Is there anything you can read or do you want a professional to read it?

[Staff Member or Researcher]

I can edit 10 minutes after it was posted or 10 minutes, 30 minutes after it was posted, she goes, take this down. What is wrong with you?

[Bert (Host)]

Is that expletive with an F?

[Staff Member or Researcher]

Yeah, expletive with an F. And then later on she goes, every D. Tag yourself now. Remove the tag, Chris, or I'm going to seriously hurt you. Take this picture down. Now pick up your phone. And that was about five minutes out there was posted.

[Bert (Host)]

Oh, boy.

[Co-host or Guest]

So did she. Did he tag all the guys on the list?

[Commercial Announcer]

All the guys are tagged.

[Staff Member or Researcher]

Oh, no.

[Co-host or Guest]

They all saw that. They're on it.

[American Express Advertiser]

Yep.

[Staff Member or Researcher]

Chris is tagged. Russell's tag. Jackson is tagged. Brian is tagged. See, as a guy, her friends are tagged too.

[Bert (Host)]

You don't mind being on that list.

[Co-host or Producer]

She's going to end up completing her list because of those tags.

[Staff Member or Researcher]

Hey Michelle also tagged too.

[Bert (Host)]

So Brett the nicely done.

[Staff Member or Researcher]

Yeah. Brett the winner.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey Michelle, Good morning.

[Caller]

Hey.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey.

[Caller]

I actually was just calling as a mom of three to say I would much rather at this point find the find the alcohol in my kids bedroom than that list. But I've got a 19 year old, a 16 year old and a 12 year old so the alcohol is welcomed in the house versus that list.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Absolutely.

[Bert (Host)]

Well, she's going to be on restrictions so long, you know this is going to go back and forth because she's going to look through his room big time over the next year and a half.

[Co-host or Producer]

Absolutely.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey, the Birch Show. Man, this is a scary piece of audio to listen to. It's cute in some places. It's kind of an emotional roller coaster actually. And it happened in Rochester a couple of days ago. And I think on the front end of this you can hear dad trying to talk to the 911 dudes because he's having a heart attack.

[Co-host or Producer]

It makes my chest like I'm just. I'm just like makes my chest hurt to hear him have this heart attack. I hope I Don't have a heart attack during this.

[Bert (Host)]

So I think you can quick. Like in the very beginning, you hear him like grab the phone and try to give the phone number out or his address or something like that. Then he gives the phone to his five year old daughter and now she's responsible for saving his life on the phone with 911. And this is six minutes long. And I looked for a place to edit it and there's no way I could do it because it's just so intriguing to listen to the entire time.

[Caller]

Okay, you have to stay awake, but

[Caller]

Okay? They'll be here just a minute. The amulets are on the way. Okay, Just let me know.

[911 Operator]

He really needs oxygen.

[Caller]

Yeah, real bad.

[911 Operator]

Real bad. Okay, well, they're on the way with it, so they'll be there here in a minute. I'm just gonna keep you on the line, okay? Tell me if he falls asleep or anything, all right?

[Caller]

Okay.

[911 Operator]

Is he still awake?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[911 Operator]

Okay. And did you say he's been sick or anything?

[Caller]

Have you been sick? No.

[911 Operator]

Can you ask him if this has ever happened before?

[Caller]

Has this ever happened? No, so far. I said when he fell away.

[911 Operator]

Hey, ask him if he has any kind of chest pain.

[Caller]

Do you have any chest pain? Yes. Okay. This is his first time.

[911 Operator]

Okay. I got him on the way, so.

[Caller]

Okay. We're in our jammies, and I'm in a TikTok, so I'll have to get dressed. Okay, I know where I'm gonna wear, but you really need doctors in real fast. Yes, the door's unlocked.

[911 Operator]

Okay, you tell me when you can hear the ambulance, all right?

[Caller]

Okay. I'm sorry, dad. Dad.

[911 Operator]

You're doing a good job, Savannah, okay?

[Caller]

His name is Frank.

[911 Operator]

His name is Frank. You're doing a good job, all right, Savannah, just stay on the phone, okay? They should be getting there any minute.

[Caller]

Okay. Like, how many minutes?

[911 Operator]

Probably only a couple. They're on the way.

[Caller]

Just make sure your daddy's probably okay. You have to stay awake a couple minutes. I can hear him.

[911 Operator]

You can hear them?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[911 Operator]

Okay. I'm gonna keep you on the line till they get in the house, all right?

[Caller]

Okay. Okay, dad.

[911 Operator]

So you still doing okay, Savannah?

[Caller]

Yeah, he's okay. Okay, I'll be in my room and I'll be putting on.

Say, Savannah, she's still.

[911 Operator]

I want you to stay there with your daddy, okay?

[Caller]

Okay.

[911 Operator]

I need you to make sure that he stays awake, so.

[Caller]

Okay, I got that. And we have a dog that's really

[911 Operator]

small, so he's friendly.

[Caller]

He's friendly.

[911 Operator]

Okay.

[Caller]

He kind of barks.

[911 Operator]

He kind of barks. That's all right, though.

[Caller]

Come on, family, it's on the way. Come on, Lulu. Come here. Hurry. Come here.

[911 Operator]

Is your dad okay still?

[Caller]

Yeah, so far so good. Okay, Lulu, it's gonna be all right.

[911 Operator]

Is he still awake, Savannah?

[Caller]

Yeah, he's still awake.

[911 Operator]

Okay. The ambulance should be getting there anytime.

[Commercial Announcer]

Okay?

[Caller]

And he looks like he's real shaky.

[911 Operator]

Hold on, Savannah. Okay.

[Caller]

Okay.

[911 Operator]

Is the fireman there, Savannah?

[Caller]

I don't know. Yeah, they're here.

[911 Operator]

All right, so they're in the house now?

[Caller]

No, I see the red light.

[911 Operator]

All right, Savannah, just tell me when they get in the house, okay? And I'll disconnect with you.

[Caller]

Okay. I am real shaky, too.

[911 Operator]

Yeah, you're real shaky, too.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[911 Operator]

They're there to help your daddy, so don't be scared, okay?

[Caller]

Okay.

[911 Operator]

Are they there? Hey, Savannah, you did good job. Okay. All right, Savannah, you did a good job.

[Caller]

It's okay, Daddy. I'm gonna go put.

[911 Operator]

Okay. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go disconnect. Okay?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Bert (Host)]

That girl's five years old, saved her dad. He lives. He lived. He saved her dad's life.

[Co-host or Producer]

He saved his life more than just the phone call because, you know, he held on because she was in the room with him, you know, so.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Bert (Host)]

And I could sort of see in my head, like, him closing his eyes, and she. She's looking at him going, you got to stay awake, dad. You got to stay awake.

[Co-host or Producer]

You can't go to sleep.

[Bert (Host)]

Sadie was on the phone and said that he was. He's a 911 operator, and he said that adults aren't even that calm when they call.

[Co-host or Guest]

Unbelievable.

[Co-host or Producer]

And that 911 guy did such a good job because when his voice switched when daddy got on the phone, and then when she got on the phone, he did such a good job with her, and he helped not, I think both the daddy who was struggling and the 911 operator kept her from panicking.

[Bert (Host)]

I can never be a 911 operator because I'd be panicking right along. Oh, my God. You gotta call somebody.

[Co-host or Guest]

But I just.

[Bert (Host)]

I think your dad's having a heart attack. You've gotta call somebody.

[Co-host or Producer]

I think it's hilarious how two or three times she said, I've got to go to my room and I've got to change clothes.

[Bert (Host)]

Right? She wanted out of those PJs, man. Hey, Sarah.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Good morning.

[Bert (Host)]

You're on the Bert Show.

[911 Operator]

Hi.

[Caller]

Hi. Bert Show.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey.

[Caller]

First and foremost, I've been so. I haven't been able to listen to you for quite some time, so I

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

really missed you guys.

[Bert (Host)]

Oh, we've missed you, too. What's up?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

But I just want to say this

[Caller]

little girl is my hero, man. So touching.

[Co-host or Guest]

She was so.

[Caller]

So calm and composed and just so mature. And she's just done something that, you know, her dad will never forgive her for, and she'll never forget it.

[Bert (Host)]

You know, she's got the advantage in the relationship her entire life now. Anything she wants, she wants. Car. She wants tuition to the best school in the country. Saved your life, Pop.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

This year's girls trip to Telluride was the best. We one upped ourselves with my Sapphire Preferred card. And with 5 times points on Chase Travel, plus 3 times points on vacation homes with top brands, we got this incredible cabin.

[Co-host or Guest]

It was a mansion.

[Chase Sapphire Advertiser]

And with three times the points on dining, we ordered a wagyu steak dinner.

[Co-host or Guest]

And that pistachio gelato was too good.

[Chase Sapphire Advertiser]

So where should we go next year?

[Co-host or Guest]

I've got ideas.

[Chase Sapphire Advertiser]

Chase Sapphire Preferred, the card that's preferred for a reason. Cards issued by JP Morgan, Chase bank and a member FDIC subject to credit approval terms apply.

[SpinQuest Announcer]

Get it?

[Bert (Host)]

The bird show. All right. I've been eager to get to this today. This went totally in a different direction than I thought it was going yesterday, man.

[Co-host or Guest]

Because whoever got the original text. What was her name?

[Bert (Host)]

Leslie.

[Co-host or Guest]

Leslie thought it was from a stranger and it wasn't intended for her.

[Bert (Host)]

We've all been here before, right? Like, where you get a random text from somebody and it's not intended for you. So they screwed up one number in the whole thing. And it's just generally a hey, meet you out at 7, or hey, what's going on? And that doesn't intrigue you? It's just a wrong text. Big deal. But from time to time, you get one that's really intriguing. Like, I gotta know what this is all about. And Leslie called us yesterday and this was the case for her.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I got a text about three weeks ago, and it was a number that I didn't recognize. It was a 678 area code. And it just said, it's not all about you. Leave it alone. What is this?

[Caller]

So I texted back.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I was just like, huh, who is this? And all that I got back was, seriously.

[Bert (Host)]

So we got three calls, but this one here was the one that I called back and I got an answer to the other ones just. They all went to voicemail, so. Hey, Leslie.

[Caller]

Hi.

[Bert (Host)]

How are you?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I'm good. How are you doing?

[Bert (Host)]

I'm doing okay. Now, I'm gonna play the audio back for you of the call I made yesterday. But according to this person, you already know what this is all about.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Really?

[Co-host or Guest]

Mm.

[Bert (Host)]

You have no idea, zero idea what that number was and what that message meant?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I have no idea at all.

[Co-host or Guest]

Otherwise, why would she have called us?

[Bert (Host)]

Well, somebody here is really confused. Somebody's very confused.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Wait, they said that? I know what it's about.

[Bert (Host)]

Well, I'll play the call for you. But she said you know exactly what this is all about.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Bert (Host)]

And you know that it was intended for you as well.

[Commercial Announcer]

Whoa, whoa.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I have no idea. I have no idea who this person is or what they're talking about.

[Bert (Host)]

Okay, well, I'll play the call for you. Her voice is disguised, but there was no way to disguise her voice and not disguise mine, so mine's on. The voice disguise are also here, I think. Tweaked everybody's voice. So this is the call that I made to her yesterday, And I'll just play it for you. It's like four minutes long. And then we'll come back to you and we'll get your reaction to it. Okay?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Okay.

[Staff Member or Researcher]

Okay.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Hi. This is. This is an awkward. This is gonna be an awkward conversation. I'm actually calling from a radio station here in Atlanta. My name is bert, and it's Q100 in the Bert Show.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Oh, gosh. Yeah, I know.

[Producer or Staff Member]

You know what?

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

I know your show.

[Producer or Staff Member]

You know the show.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Yeah, but I'm not on the air or anything, right?

[Producer or Staff Member]

No, you're not on the air right now, but there's a reason why I'm calling you, and it's a strange one, so just hear me out for a second. One of our listeners called us up.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

I heard. I was listening. I'm a listener, too.

[Producer or Staff Member]

So you heard what happened on the air with the whole text message and everything?

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Yeah, I did.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Okay, so I'm not going to use your name. We're going to tweak your voice and voice disguises so nobody knows.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

What are you talking about? I told you, I don't want to be in the air.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Well, I won't. I won't use anything at all if you say that I can't use it. But just hear me out for one second is I was going to put you on tomorrow if you even want to talk about what the text message was all about. But I was going to use A fake name for you. And I was going to voice disguise your voice so nobody will know it's you. And if not, then I just. I mean, I'll stop recording, and this conversation goes nowhere.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Okay, you can use a voice disguiser, but I don't really want to go too much into this, but.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Okay, here's what she told us. She said that. So you know who I'm talking about. You know, it's Leslie, that call. And she said that she got the random text message that said something like, it's not all about you let it go, or something like that. And she says she has no idea who it came from or what it was all about, but obviously you were listening this morning, so you knew this call was coming.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

It's unbelievable that she's gonna say she doesn't know why she got it and what it. What it's about. It's really unbelievable.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Does she have. Would she have your phone number? Like, it obviously wasn't in her contact list, so why would she even have your number?

[Caller]

Number?

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

That's a point. She knows exactly what it's about. And for her to feign, you know, ignorance is just insulting to me and to all my co workers.

[Commercial Announcer]

To your co workers.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

You know, I can't really go into any detail, but basically, you can just let her know, or she's probably listening right now that, you know, it's. It's not a good idea to backstab your fellow co workers. It will come back to you. And she knows what? She absolutely knows what's going on.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Okay. She was under the impression that this came in randomly. So now that she knows that it came from somebody that knows her, maybe she's lying.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

She's lying. She's just lying. She's just, you know, deluded and thinks she could do whatever she wants and it won't ever come back. And it's time for her to. To wake up and know that's not the case. And next time, it would be a lot worse than a text message, so she should consider herself lucky.

[Commercial Announcer]

Wow.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Okay, I'll let it go with that. So she should at least understand what it's about now.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Yeah, she already knew, Believe me.

[Caller]

Okay, thank you so much.

[Producer or Staff Member]

Thank you.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Bye.

[Co-host or Guest]

A lot of animosity.

[Caller]

Oh, my gosh.

[Co-host or Producer]

So does that ring a bell?

[Co-host or Guest]

Do you know who it is?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I have no idea who that is.

[Co-host or Guest]

Are you serious? Come on.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

No, I really.

[Caller]

I really don't.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I mean, this is so. It's so weird because there's been, like, a lot of drama in the office. But I have not, I have not played a heavy hand in that. I mean, I haven't done anything that anybody else hasn't been doing. I've talked to like a couple co workers about it.

[Bert (Host)]

But what is it?

[Co-host or Guest]

What's been going on at work?

[Bert (Host)]

Yeah, what's the drama going on?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

So there is, there's this convention in London in the next couple months and my. Our boss chooses two employees to go with her. And there's one, one girl who is, she's like a shoo in. She's like amazing and she, she should be going. She deserves it because she works really hard and she should be going. And then the second spot was a little bit up in question and there's this new guy there who is really good looking and really smooth and it seems like he might be the one getting to go to this convention, which is kind of ridiculous, you know, and there's just been kind of rumors going around and.

[Bert (Host)]

Are you, are you dating this guy in the office by any chance?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

No, no, no.

[Co-host or Guest]

Why would you get the text message? It's not all about you. Leave it alone.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I don't know.

[Co-host or Guest]

I mean, do you want to go to the conference and you've been pitching so that you could go?

[Caller]

Oh, yeah.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I mean, I've been working really hard and I've been working there for a long time and I sort of feel like I deserve to go, but I haven't done anything. All that I've done is vented to one co worker and she's like a really close friend of mine. So I don't know who, I don't, I really have no idea who this person is who is so vindictive.

[Bert (Host)]

She might not be that close a friend because it sounds, didn't it feel to you guys like this was a problem within the office? Like she said something about the coworkers. So it doesn't sound like it's a you and one other person problem. It sounds like there are a bunch of coworkers that are unhappy with your behavior and she was the only one that text you.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I mean, that is what it sounded like. But I, I really am kind of dumbfounded because I, I mean, I don't think that I've, I've acted out of turn. I don't think that I've been crazy or anything like that. But you know, I work really hard and it is, it is upsetting to me because, you know, there's, there's rumors circulating around and like this, this guy is.

[Co-host or Producer]

I don't Know this guy's what, with the boss or with what?

[Caller]

Yeah, with the boss.

[Co-host or Producer]

I mean, that's why she's taking him.

[Caller]

Really good looking.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

And I. There's no other reason why she would take him because he was.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

He's.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

He's new and he's not as qualified as I am or even someone else would be.

[Bert (Host)]

Well, it sounds like there are two totally different stories going on in the office. I mean, either way, it's gonna be uncomfortable when you walk in the door today.

[Co-host or Producer]

Is everybody vying for the slot to go to London? Is everybody qualified to try to go?

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Well, some people more so than others, but yeah, there's. I mean, there's a few. There's a few that. That could potentially go, but this guy is not qualified to go.

[Bert (Host)]

And you haven't mixed it up at all. Like, you haven't gone to the boss and said, look, this dude doesn't deserve to go, or she doesn't deserve to go. Nothing like that.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

I mean, no, that would be. That would be totally out of place for me to do. I mean, I would. I wouldn't. I would never be able. I don't. I don't have that relationship with. With her where I could do that.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey, Barbara, this is pretty simple, isn't it?

[Caller]

Yeah. I mean, why don't you. I mean, she knows your number now, so you can't call from your number, but call from a random number. She'll either pick up or it'll go to voicemail and you'll know who it is and then go deal with it.

[Bert (Host)]

That seems pretty easy right there. Yes. She's from Conyers.

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah, I'd rather you call her.

[Bert (Host)]

I mean, that would make things pretty easy. Hey, Amy. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Hey.

[Caller]

Okay, so this is just one possible scenario. You know the lady that you were talking about who works really hard, who's a shooting, she might have maybe just heard a rumor that you were trying to take her position to go to London. Maybe that's her calling in and being like, why are you trying to, I guess, like, mess with my, like, tip that I might be getting that I worked hard for?

[Co-host or Guest]

That's a good scenario, is a really good theory.

[Co-host or Producer]

It's obviously, obviously misunderstanding if you have no clear idea of what's going on.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey, Jill. Good morning. You want in on this?

[Caller]

Hey, good morning. I had just the most out there thought, but I think it's the boss. The only person she's questioning is the boss's choice of the guy and the threat at the end that next time it's gonna be worse than a text message. Sounds to me like you might be saying next time it could be your job or something.

[Bert (Host)]

You know what? You're not the only one with that theory. Hey, Lauren. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller]

Hey, I actually agree. I was just about to say that I think it's the boss, simply because of what she said. It could be a lot worse than the text message. And it, you know, would be her job, especially if there's rumors going around about the dude and the boss, you know, hooking up or. I think that's what she had said.

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

Right.

[Bert (Host)]

Well, we're gonna have to catch up with you maybe even tomorrow and find out how today went. And also call that number when you get off with us, and if you find anything, then give us a call back.

[Co-host or Producer]

I think. I think your theory about waiting to get in the office to call the number.

[911 Operator]

Why?

[Co-host or Producer]

Because you get to see who answers the phone.

[Bert (Host)]

Yeah. You know, I'm just afraid that that person I called yesterday has already changed the voicemail to something that's not personalized at all.

[Caller]

But still.

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah.

[Bert (Host)]

Pull that tiger thing, please. Please change your outgoing voicemail message. This is big.

[Co-host or Producer]

This is big.

[Commercial Announcer]

This is big.

[Bert (Host)]

You got to do this for me. So, Leslie, let's talk to you tomorrow morning and find out how things go today in the office. Okay?

[Caller]

Okay, great.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Thanks for. Thanks for your help.

[Bert (Host)]

Okay. Good luck.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

Thank you.

[Bert (Host)]

Bye.

[Caller]

Bye.

[Bert (Host)]

N Listen, it's the Vert show. Good morning, Dr. Oz.

[Commercial Announcer]

Good morning.

[Leslie (Caller/Employee)]

How are you?

[Bert (Host)]

Great. How are you this morning? I imagine you always feel good.

[Caller]

I do.

[Commercial Announcer]

I get up in the morning and I just can't wait to get going. My mom used to get so frustrated by that when I was a kid.

[Bert (Host)]

Like, who do you call when you're sick?

[Commercial Announcer]

My wife, like everybody else does. I don't feel good. Take care of me. Feed me.

[Bert (Host)]

We've got a whole bunch of Berkshire listeners that want to talk to you, but our producer Tracy stepped in and she's got a real concern about her husband.

[Caller]

All right, And I'm hoping you can tell me I'm right so that he starts listening to me. But my husband drinks a lot of soft drinks. We're talking. He goes through a 2 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper every single day. Now, he's a thin guy. So he says, well, I'm not, you know, it's not affecting my weight and I don't smoke and I don't drink. It's my only vice. But I'm completely convinced it's gotta be doing serious harm to be going through a 2 liter bottle a day for years.

[Commercial Announcer]

Without question. You are right. Smack him upside his head until he listens to this. It's important that everyone understand that if I had to pick one thing to change in America in terms of our dietary habits, it's soft drinks. And I don't have any problem with having a soft drink once in a while. That's fine. Just like you're having a beer. It's a reasonable thing to do. But two liters every day is not wise. Here's why. First of all, it actually seeps some of the calcium out of your bones, and so it can predispose you to osteoporosis. But the other thing is being thin and being healthy are not the same. I would rather be heavy and in good shape than thin and in bad shape. And so if you're drinking material that has empty calories in it, you're not giving your body the critical nutrients it needs to thrive. For example, if you don't have the healthy omega 3 fats in your diet, you're not going to be as smart as you normally would be. If you don't have the right precursors for some of the key hormones in the body, you'll be more predisposed to certain cancers and maybe even heart disease. So there's a lot of reasons why food is sacred. And when you're drinking, a soft drink which doesn't grow on the ground isn't in any way natural. It's an away game for your body. You put your liver under a lot of stress because it has to continually cope with things that are coming from outside of you.

[Chase Sapphire Advertiser]

Thank you.

[Bert (Host)]

This is going to be your new ringtone, isn't it?

[Leslie (Voice Disguised Caller)]

Yes.

[Caller]

I'm going to pull the audio of this and play it for him as

[Co-host or Guest]

soon as I get home.

[Bert (Host)]

Here is Jennifer. Jennifer, good morning. You are on with Dr. Oz.

[Caller]

How are you?

[Commercial Announcer]

Very well, Jennifer. What's your question?

[Caller]

I had a very difficult time getting pregnant. My husband and I tried for six years, mainly due to the fact that I had pcos. And I finally am currently six months pregnant with twin girls. And I was just curious. I heard so many rumors that after you have the babies and you've had pcos, your body kind of resets itself and the PCOS kind of goes away and you get like a second chance to make everything right, because the pcos, I mean, inhibits everything that I did. I couldn't lose weight, I couldn't get pregnant. Everything was out of whack.

[Commercial Announcer]

Let me explain, everybody. PCOS means polycystic ovarian disease. It might seem like this weird, rare problem, but it's not. Probably the number one reason that young women can't get pregnant in America is because of. Of this. And think of it as a type of diabetes. It's not diabetes, but it sort of works the same way. It's a problem in the way you metabolize certain hormones that leads you to make little cysts in your ovaries. The women that have this problem are shaped more like bricks than hourglasses. Often their waistlines aren't so well defined again because the hormones aren't quite set. The remarkable thing about PCOS is that through aggressive dietary treatment, which I'm sure I suspect you're on now, you can actually lose enough weight that you reset your hormones. And by doing that, all of a sudden you become fertile again, because now you're back where you need to be. And so you're absolutely right that if you're able to get the weight off and keep it off, and by the way, in order to get pregnant, you have to do that. If you just keep doing the right things and eating the right things, not the two liter bottle of soda that we were talking about earlier, then you'll be able to stay fertile. And congratulations by the way, on the pregnancy.

[Co-host or Producer]

Absolutely.

[Bert (Host)]

Dr. Oz is on 11 alive at 3 o' clock and myatl TV at 6.

[Co-host or Guest]

Dr. Oz, I have. My friend is obsessed with this concept of urine therapy. Is there anything healthy about drinking your own urine?

[Commercial Announcer]

You know, I have a good friend who does that all the time. They're still alive. But I don't understand why you want to do that. Urine is a waste product, obviously. And you're getting rid of urea, which is a material that is a breakdown product of proteins. That stated in fairness, urine is sterile. Right. So you can't put it on wounds. And if you're out in the outback and you get wounded, it is a thing that I can recommend folks try just to keep the wounds clean. You could drink your urine if you have to. It's better than salt water, but you don't want to drink much of it and after a while that toxin will build up in you. So I don't think there's a huge health benefit of doing it. That stated, there are probably worse things you could do for yourself than drinking urine. Getting back to that 2 liter bottle.

[Bert (Host)]

Again, the only way I'm doing that is if I'm in the middle of nowhere and there's zero water around anywhere.

[Co-host or Guest]

But there's this theory that supermodels are doing it and all these alcohol, all these different people are doing it. So I was wondering if there was really any benefits to it.

[Commercial Announcer]

You know, there's.

[Caller]

There.

[Commercial Announcer]

Again, like as often the case with these types of fads, there's a theoretical reason why it makes sense, but it is impossible. As a doctor, I'll say this to prove that it actually has a material benefit. There are lots of better things you can do. The only benefit about urine is it's free.

[Bert (Host)]

Hey Dr. Oz, we know you don't have too much time, but I know much like myself, like 50% of our listeners, I think statistics show, have problems sleeping. I'm on Lunesta and I've been on this drug now for six years. What can I do to get off of this and get decent sleep?

[Commercial Announcer]

Well, you're in a tough spot because you have to get up early in the morning. What time do you awaken?

[Bert (Host)]

Usually 3:15.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah, so it's just tough for any human being to be on a shift of that nature. The problem of course, is that your circadian rhythms push your steroid levels, your hormone levels to their lowest at around 4, 4:30 in the morning. Morning. So it's hard to get up when your body's saying please don't. That's stated. Being on a sleeping pill for the average American more than 90 days I don't think is a smart thing to do. With rare exceptions. Now there's some people going to need those for their whole life. But for the vast majority of folks, your inability to sleep is a wake up call, pardon a pun, about other things that are going on in your life. And it means you've got to restructure your life in a way that allows this very natural seeming thing like sleep to occur. Because without that, you will eventually oftentimes build up resistance to sleeping medications. Plus they hinder your ability to dream normally. And all these are important factors in how you process information, lay down hard, code, things like that. If I had to pick, one thing for folks to focus on this coming year is try to get seven and a half hours sleep a day. And if you can't get it, you got to see somebody like a sleep expert who can figure out why not. Sometimes it's medical stuff, right? Your sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome. Sometimes you got aches and pains that keep you up. But oftentimes it is fundamental sleep hygiene, like figuring out how to reset your circadian rhythm in your case so you can actually get to bed at a time that allows you to get the sleep you need.

[Bert (Host)]

Who has time for seven and a half hours of sleep in this day and age?

[Commercial Announcer]

You know, I tell you, as crazy as it sounds and many things that I'm busy doing, I do it every night and I work hard at it. I mean, I fight for it. I become a hermit at night. I won't go out towards a certain hour. People think I'm a sociopathic, but it's not. I just don't. I get up around 5:30 today I'm in the hospital. So you know, I come to the, you know, I see my patients, but normally I go to the studio at that hour because we start to go over scripts and stuff and I don't want to get up and not feel completely alert. Otherwise when I'm doing an interview like this is, I'm fumbling my words, I don't look alert. And you know when 10 million people watching you, they can tell when you're tired.

[Co-host or Guest]

Sure, definitely.

[Bert (Host)]

I think I feel lazy. If I got seven and a Half hours of sleep. I think I'd feel so guilty that I'd be lazy.

[Co-host or Guest]

You'd probably be. Feel better all day and be more productive.

[Commercial Announcer]

That's it. You know, it's not about time management. It's about QI management. It's about energy management. You have a certain number of quality hours. You guys do it right now, right? You're on the air, and for the. For the numerous hours you're on there, you guys have a ton of energy. And then when you and Chi, too, you're giving out energy to people who are listening to you. And then hopefully later in the day, you have some downtime. So you may be awake for 20 hours, but you're not going full speed for 20 hours. What we need to focus on is going full speed for 18 hours or 17, so we get the seven hours that we need of sleep.

[Bert (Host)]

Again, Dr. Oz is on 11 Alive at 3 o' clock, and MyAtl TV, 6 o'. Clock. Dr. Oz, I mean, we could have you on for four hours. The phone lines are lit, so.

[Commercial Announcer]

You're kind.

[Co-host or Guest]

I just want to say I love your show, and I love the way that you handle every single person like they are the most important person in front of you at that moment. You just. You treat everyone with the same respect that you treat everyone else, and I think that's cue your show.

[Commercial Announcer]

Well, you're very kind. I was taught that by my mom, and I'll never give that up. But I tell you, it is such a blessing to be able to spend time with folks on the stage and have private conversations with them where they're willing to open up and serve as role models. And I talk to people backstage before we go out. Every time I say, listen, I never want you to be embarrassed. Oprah taught me one thing for sure. Let people be seen for who they really are. And all I want you to do is recognize that there are millions of people out there watching you who are gonna say, you know what? I see myself in her, and I can fix myself. If she can can fix herself.

[Bert (Host)]

Would it be weird if I told you that I was starting to get a guy crush on you?

[Commercial Announcer]

Oh, I like it. Come up, come visit.

[911 Operator]

Okay.

[Bert (Host)]

[Co-host or Producer]

[Bert (Host)]

[Commercial Announcer]

All right, guys, take care.

[Bert (Host)]

Thank you, doctor.

[Chase Sapphire Advertiser]

[Co-host or Producer]

[Co-host or Guest]

I mean, no, I don't blame Sanjay either.

[Bert (Host)]

I'm just saying that there's always somebody on the bench eager to get into the game. Oh my gosh. And Dr. Oz is waiting.

[Co-host or Guest]

Okay, seriously, you're gonna buy a new BFF heart pendant and send half of it to Dr. Oz instead?

[Bert (Host)]
