Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Women and Body Image: 'Brag About Yourself!'

(00:40 – 09:50)

Core Discussion

• The hosts revisit a previous discussion that revealed how women often compare specific body parts with each other, usually rooted in personal insecurities.
• The challenge: Can women publicly express pride in a body part without immediately negating it with self-criticism?
• The team goes around the room to "brag" about a body part they love, encouraging listeners to do the same.

Notable Moments & Quotes

• Bird Show Host:
  “Sometimes I feel like when Jeff and I are sitting in here and we’re listening to you women that you are tearing out a page just of the women's playbook and you're giving it to us. And I feel special because I have insight that other guys don't.” (00:40)

• Melissa Carter:
  “Yeah, I don’t like a region of my body, so I naturally just look at other women in that same region because it’s like a comparison… you just kind of gauge yourself based on how other women have that part.” (01:22)

• Jen Hobby (on loving her butt):
  "No, I don't worry about my ass. So I don't look at other people's ass." (03:02)
  Followed by group encouragement to own that pride openly!

• Bird Show Host:
  “You ruined it. You started listing your flaws after being proud!” (04:41)

• Melissa Carter:
  “We would rather be self-deprecating than brag about ourselves.” (04:58)

• Playful banter leads to each team member (and callers) proclaiming their favorite feature:

  • "My name is Wendy, I have beautiful eyes." (05:53)
  • "I am Melissa Carter and my legs will rock your world." (06:04)
  • "My name is Jen Hobby, and I like my ass." (06:19)

2. Modern Parenting: Sexting, Cell Phones & Trust

(11:54 – 22:47)

Core Discussion

• The hosts delve into the alarming rise of sexting among middle and high schoolers, citing news stories and personal anecdotes from callers and Jen Hobby’s mother (a principal).
• They debate the fine line between parental monitoring and trust, plus the tactics kids use to evade oversight.

Notable Moments & Quotes

• Bird Show Host:
  "If you have a son or daughter in middle school...scroll through their texts and tell us what you find." (11:57)

• Melissa Carter:
  "This is on the heels of that recent survey that said one in five teenagers have sent nude pictures of themselves somewhere." (12:40)

• Jen Hobby (on her mom addressing students):
  “She said, if I collected your cell phones right now, how many of you have something on there you wouldn’t want me to see? And the whole room fell silent.” (13:27)

• Caller stories detail parental controls, discovering explicit content, and confronting behaviors:

  • A mother discovers her 15-year-old daughter's nude photos and the resulting family changes: "I've always trusted her...but that made me realize...things totally have changed in our house." (18:26)
  • Another caller shares discovering her 16-year-old son's texts about smoking pot and drinking, leading to increased restrictions. (22:11)

• Jeff:
  "If my parents had my Facebook or MySpace password, I would just create a different account. Don't you think the majority of kids are doing that?" (17:43)

• Bird Show Host:
  “Nine out of five teenagers and nine out of ten parents think it can’t be their kid.” (22:44)

Insights

• The discussion highlights generational gaps in technology use, the importance of open dialogue between parents and teens, and the reality that both trust and verification are needed in digital parenting.
• The hosts don't shy away from the uncomfortable truths: kids are creative about hiding info, and parental naivety can be risky.

3. André 3000 Interview: Creativity, 'Class of 3000', and OutKast's Future

(24:54 – 33:26)

Core Discussion

• André 3000 discusses the stage adaptation of his Cartoon Network show 'Class of 3000', the value of creativity, and the current (often uncertain) status of OutKast.
• The conversation also covers collaborating with John Legend, his personal creative process, and his views on artistic honesty versus commercial output.

Notable Moments & Quotes

• André 3000 (on creative energy):
  "I have to keep myself excited in a way...I seldom start anything and say, oh man, this would make great money. It’s like, just ideas. You just try them out, and sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t." (26:30)

• Bird Show Host (on OutKast):
  “So you’re saying you’re open to an OutKast album, but there’s always the chance that that’s never going to happen again?” (28:50)

• André 3000:
  “Yeah, it’s always...I might not even put out an album...it all depends on how you feel. When we started it, it was just something we loved to do out of high school.” (28:59)

• On making music:
  “If you look at the OutKast history, we never like just put out two, three albums a year. It was always like, okay, let’s do this album...if you have something to say, that’s why.” (29:24)

• Collaborating with John Legend:
  “The song was done...I was like, oh man, this is something totally different for John...so I put down my little bridge part and...it just turned out to be what it is now.” (30:13)

Memorable Moment

• André clarifies he’s not a natural freestyler, giving props to Big Boi for that skill, and admits to partially freestyling on the John Legend track "Green Light." (31:03)

Insights

• A delightfully candid window into André’s approach to art: fearless, inquisitive, not driven by fame or money.
• He confirms OutKast remains a possibility, but nothing is certain except the love of honest, timely artistic creation.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Odoo is the all in one platform that replaces them all. CRM, accounting, inventory, E Commerce, hr. Fully integrated, easy to use, and built to grow with your business. Thousands have already made the switch. Why not you try Odoo for [e-mail]

[Tyler Redick]

that's odoo.com Tyler Redick here from 2311 Racing, Victory Lane. Yeah, it's even better with Chumba by my side. Race to chumbacasino.com let's Chumba.

[Bird Show Host]

No purchase necessary VTW Group void where prohibited by law. CTNCs21+ Sponsored by Chumba Casino the Bird show here's why. If you're a guy, you have to listen to the Bird show yesterday, the 9 o' clock hour. Sometimes I feel like when Jeff and I are sitting in here and we're listening to you women that you are tearing out a page just of the women's playbook and you're giving it to us. And I feel special because I have insight that other guys don't. Yesterday was fascinating. The women on the show told us yesterday that they can not compete. Just check. Other women will check other women's specific body parts out based on how insecure a woman is about her own body part.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah, I don't like a region of my body, so I naturally just look at other women in that same region because it's like a comparison. It's like either, oh, somebody's worse than me so you feel better about yourself or oh, can I achieve that? I wonder what she does in order to achieve that, you know, so. So you envy, you know, you just kind of keep your. I don't know. It's just kind of gauge yourself based on how other women have that part. You know how it's doing.

[Bird Show Host]

Intern Joanna told us yesterday she doesn't like her thighs. Not at all. So she checks out other women's thighs and she's jealous of other women's thighs.

[Wendy]

There's a lot of body parts like that that you check out on women.

[Bird Show Host]

It was fascinating because as guys, we'll look at other dudes and make a general like, he looks good or he doesn't. But we don't ever specifically go, wow, just chest. I wish I had that.

[Jeff]

I would really love Bird's triceps.

[Bird Show Host]

Say that.

[Melissa Carter]

I think it's how you. I think it's how you're judged. I think it's what you're judged on. And women are always judged on how they look. Always by the women, by men, always. We are judged, I mean everywhere by

[Wendy]

the way we look.

[Melissa Carter]

And so that's always top of mind. We know what our worst areas are. We're looking at other women and that's the worst area to kind of get maybe some ideas on how, what to do and what it could look like, whatever. Because I mean a guy has to have a similar thing. I don't know whether it's the car you drive or what you, what you, the money you make or whatever. And you're always gauging other guys and judging them on the same. So it's the same mentality, just a different thing you're doing it with.

[Bird Show Host]

And I was listening to this yesterday as a guy. I mean it opened up this whole like I had no idea. I had no idea women did that. And then Jen, it was only a five second clip. It was a so refreshing for me to hear. But you could see as the words were coming out of her mouth how uneasy she was getting when she said this.

[Jen Hobby]

No, I don't worry about my ass. So I don't look at other people's ass.

[Bird Show Host]

Okay, so you think you have a nice ass?

[Jen Hobby]

I do.

[Bird Show Host]

All right. She said it. She said she had a nice ass.

[Jen Hobby]

Well, I mean like Melissa said, nobody ever talks like that because it does seem arrogant and it does seem.

[David]

What?

[Jen Hobby]

Self serving or whatever. And it's not that I was like trying to say that. It's just we were talking about the parts that we can bear. But I loathe my thighs. I loathe the way my breasts.

[Bird Show Host]

Stop, stop, stop right there. Because you' justifying feeling good about one area by ripping on yourself for another.

[Jeff]

You can't do that. When you call up, you can't go, okay, well I've got really. I don't like my boobs or my arms or anything, but I've got really, really nice legs.

[Danielle Fishel]

And I agree with what I'm saying.

[Melissa Carter]

I don't think you say to say anything else because I do think this

[Bird Show Host]

is the refreshing part. Right.

[Jen Hobby]

You ha.

[Melissa Carter]

You're. You're just fine.

[Jen Hobby]

You are. I'm just saying. Can I explain it, please? No, no, because I don't want to sound like an arrogant jerk.

[Bird Show Host]

What we're saying is you don't like. It's so refreshing because have told us is that women your entire lives are beat up and you beat yourselves up on how you look, you're always so insecure about it. You'll find the one flaw that when a woman publicly says what she said yesterday, you saying that you have a nice ass, that is so refreshing because you've never been allowed to actually say it before.

[Jeff]

Just let me say this.

[Bird Show Host]

But then when you come back and you say that you have other body parts that are bad, which makes up for your nice ass, it takes away from the specialness of you being proud of me.

[Melissa Carter]

You're being self deprecating.

[Jen Hobby]

Why can I not just say that I hate my arms and everything?

[Bird Show Host]

You ruined it.

[Andre 3000]

Hush.

[Melissa Carter]

And that to me, when you talk about, you know, guys in this rule book for, you know, women and everything in Paige for Morton, she is willing. She rattled off at least six, five or six things that she doesn't like because she feels so bad about saying the arrogant day one.

[Andre 3000]

Right.

[Bird Show Host]

And that was my point today.

[Melissa Carter]

That's what a woman and a woman's brain works is. We would rather be self deprecating than brag about ourselves.

[Jeff]

When you take the calls, then I think the first thing out of the caller's mout needs to be their name and what they like. And you need to be prepared to hang up on them.

[Bird Show Host]

Yeah. Cause we.

[Jeff]

So it just needs to be like, hi, my name is Wendy and I've got fantastic arms.

[Bird Show Host]

Click.

[Jen Hobby]

Yep.

[Bird Show Host]

You can't come on here and go, look, I don't like the way my breasts look or my boot, you know, or my butt, but man, my legs are awesome. You can't do that.

[Jen Hobby]

All right, so we have to go around the room and do it first.

[Bird Show Host]

I think she's right. You gotta lead by example.

[Wendy]

I can't really brag about anything.

[Bird Show Host]

Come on, Wendy, there's gotta be something about you physically that you think looks.

[Jen Hobby]

Come on, girl, brag.

[Bird Show Host]

Say it.

[Melissa Carter]

Brag it.

[Jen Hobby]

Say it. I don't have anything to brag about it.

[Bird Show Host]

It's difficult.

[Jen Hobby]

Do it. I really don't.

[Bird Show Host]

Come on. How about your anything? Eyebrows?

[Melissa Carter]

Come on, Teeth, something?

[Wendy]

I love the way my eyes look.

[Bird Show Host]

Okay, there we go. Are you just saying that?

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah.

[Jen Hobby]

Say, my name is Wendy and I have beautiful eyes.

[Wendy]

My name is Wendy, I have beautiful eyes. See?

[Bird Show Host]

But inside she's going, but I don't like my ass or my boobs.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Stop.

[Bird Show Host]

No, don't do it. Don't do it.

[Melissa Carter]

I will say it. I am Melissa Carter and my legs will rock your world.

[Jeff]

Now I think we need to make Jen do it again. And because she couldn't do it earlier, Go ahead, Jen.

[Bird Show Host]

So, Jen, go for it. Come on, Jen.

[Jen Hobby]

I'm sweating right now. I need to take this off. My name is Jen Hobby, and I like my ass.

[Bird Show Host]

There you go. 404-74-74.

[Jeff]

All these. Save that, right? I mean, there are hundreds of them.

[Bird Show Host]

we want to offer up the voice disguiser here. We'll disguise your voice and we'll never mention your child's name. But we're really curious here. If you have a son or a daughter that is in middle school right now, what we'd like you to try is this is to go get their cell phone and turn it on and scroll through the texts and tell us what you find. Because more and more you're hearing stories now in the news of sexting going on and kids getting in trouble for it, kids getting arrested for it, kids getting kicked out of school for it. And if you're not in touch with it, you probably think you're in middle school. No problem. No, come on, not mine. Grab the phone, give us a call. And we want to scroll through those texts with you and see what you find.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah, because there's a new story out this morning about students in a middle school at Orange County, California. 10 students total. It all started when a 14 year old girl sent a nude picture of herself to a friend. Then that friend sent it on to other people. So the 10 students involved in the sexting got in house suspensions, no charges expected. But they said this is on the heels of that recent survey that said one in five teenagers have sent nude pictures of themselves somewhere.

[Bird Show Host]

So listen to that stat. Listen stat. One in five of you have kids in this age range and you think no problem, they're just using it to communicate back and forth with you or with their friends. You know, what are you guys doing later on? 1 in 5 are sending pictures or doing the whole nude pictures or the sexting thing.

[Melissa Carter]

Right.

[Bird Show Host]

It's been such a big issue with Jen Hobby's mom because she's a teacher also that she's had to like talk to the class about it.

[Jen Hobby]

Yeah, my mom's in education in Florida. She's a middle school principal actually and had to have a lecture with her seventh and eighth graders and got them all in sort of an assembly thing. And, you know, started this conversation about sexting because she said, you know, how many of you in the room have a cell phone? Everybody's, like, all excited, raise their hand. Oh, me, me, me. You know, how many of you, you know, text message on your cell phone? Everybody raised their hand. And then she said, if I collected your cell phones right now, how many of you have something on there that you wouldn't want me to see? And the whole room fell silent, I bet. And, you know, except for one kid

[Jeff]

who was like, oh, me, me, me.

[Melissa Carter]

Oh, you tricked us.

[Jen Hobby]

And she said they had to have this whole talk about the, you know, sexting and sending those pictures and all that kind of stuff and the legal ramifications of it all. I guess in Florida, they've had. Or maybe in Tampa, it was. They've had a lot of relationships busted between teachers and students over texting and sexting and that kind of thing. And I think it's been a really big, you know, kind of a hot topic in Florida because of these news stories going on and because of, you know, teachers getting busted locally for dating students. I think one woman was dating, like, an eighth grader, something like that. She was a. An eighth grade teacher or something. Anyway, so it was. It's been a big topic of discussion, and I think that, you know, parents are kind of naive to this whole thing.

[Bird Show Host]

Good morning, Q100. Hello. Hey, Destiny.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

My mom actually told me this, like, yesterday, that now you can actually view your child's text messages on the Internet.

[Jeff]

Yeah. And they post them up there when they can. Pictures of themselves.

[Bird Show Host]

You mean you can get, like, a certain account with.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

I guess. I don't really know. My mom said that you can view them for the past month.

[Jen Hobby]

How old are you?

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

I'm 19.

[Bird Show Host]

Okay, well, it doesn't really apply to you. I mean.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

Well, it still does because I'm still, like, under my mom, and she pays my bill and everything, so when she

[Bird Show Host]

told you that she could check your text, did that freak you out?

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

It did, and she was excited about it. And I was like, oh, great.

[Bird Show Host]

Was there anything that you text over the last 30 days when she told you that you're like, oh, no. If she checked the last month. Busted.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

No, actually not. But my sister's pretty much freaking out, and she's like, I'm pretty much screwed. And I was like, oh, how old is your sister? She's 17.

[Bird Show Host]

And what's on her phone that she's afraid your mom's gonna see?

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

I have no clue.

[Bird Show Host]

You're probably better off that way anyway. Yeah, thanks for calling with that.

[Melissa Carter]

I would sew. You use that tactic with a kid. Yeah, I don't think.

[Caller (Kelly)]

Oh, you know what?

[Bird Show Host]

There's a website even if there's not.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah, well, there's no website like that's a website like that?

[Bird Show Host]

My mom got her. Yes, brooke, you're on Q100. Good morning.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

Good morning. Gosh, I want that lady to call back so bad. I want to know.

[Bird Show Host]

I know. She got right to the part where she was about to tell us what was on the phone.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

Yeah, it's like the biggest build up for the biggest letdown.

[Jeff]

Maybe she should call us back from her son's cell phone. It appears to be looking back at her.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

I have a 12 year old daughter and I have checked her phone before. I didn't find any nude pictures or anything, but I did find some wordage that I didn't like very much. And I want to say I don't think there is a debate. You take your kids stuff and you check it. I have her password on MySpace. I have everything.

[Bird Show Host]

I'm with you. You know, I went to school with plenty of kids whose parents thought they were angels. They were getting good grades, they were coming home on time and everything seemed fine. But I know that two hours before that they were doing crazy, crazy stuff that their parents had no idea about. Coke, drinking crazy amounts of alcohol, taking cars. And their parents just thought they were angels. Just angels. And with my experience, there's even. I'm looking at Hayden now and he seems like such an angel to me. Doesn't matter to me. I'm still checking Facebook, MySpace, whatever's gonna be available to him in a couple of years. Cell phone also.

[Jeff]

I'm channeling myself as a kid and I'm gonna preface this by saying I was in the talented and gifted program. So this might not apply to everyone, but I'm just saying if my parents had my passwords and stuff, you know, like Facebook or MySpace or whatever.

[Melissa Carter]

Do not take you seriously either.

[Jeff]

Why?

[Melissa Carter]

I just can't.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

I know.

[Jeff]

I've been dealing with the jealousy for years. Ever since fourth grade, since I had the special classes. So if my parents had my Facebook or MySpace password, I would just create a different account. Don't you think the majority of kids are doing that?

[Melissa Carter]

That's what I thought. If a parent. Because I would try to be more of a sneaky parent. I gotta be honest with you. I gotta be where I would be checking them and they didn't know I was checking them.

[Bird Show Host]

You gotta Be way more covert now.

[Jeff]

And you can buy stuff, right, that you put on your computer and it records passwords and capture screens.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah, I agree. I totally agree with you. If Millipede had all my passwords and I was trying to sneak around, I would create different accounts.

[Bird Show Host]

Hey, Kelly. Good morning. You're on the V disguiser.

[Caller (Kelly)]

Good morning.

[Bird Show Host]

Good morning.

[Caller (Kelly)]

I found the nude pictures on my daughter's.

[Melissa Carter]

Okay, how old is she?

[Jen Hobby]

Of her?

[Caller (Kelly)]

Yes. 15 years old.

[Bird Show Host]

And you found them of her? So she was sending these out to somebody else?

[Caller (Kelly)]

Yeah, but the thing is, I'd always check text messages and I went into all of her pictures. That's where I found it. She was deleting her messages and I found the pictures in her pictures. And, you know, I didn't think to go through, scroll through all these pictures. She's 15. She's had her phone for quite a while. I've always trusted her as far as that because I honestly don't believe she's sexually active yet. Because I keep really close. I mean, she's not able to do anything. Hardly. I keep a close watch on her. But that made me realize just how, you know. Melissa, why are you shaking your head about things? And things totally have changed in our house. We've had to have, you know, sit down, family meeting. Mom, I'm divorced, but dad got involved finally and had to have some long talks. And she's been through a lot of stuff over the last couple months after this, but we're totally worried because of what the future might hold for her as far as where these pictures could have ended up because she's a talented kid that's going to try out for American Idol. You know, there's a lot of stuff that's going to be happening, and a

[Bird Show Host]

lot of those American Idol kids don't have a squeaky clean past either. What were you shaking your head about?

[Melissa Carter]

I was shaking my head just because, I mean, not to disrespect her as a mother, but I do think her daughter is sexually active. And I think the fact that you made it more strict in the house has just secured that. I know. You know, there's. There's a fine balance in parenting of not being too strict, because when you're too strict, you're gonna. You're gonna have the opposite effect of what you want on your kid.

[Bird Show Host]

Can you assume that if your kid has naked pictures of herself on her phone that she is sexually active and she's telling you that she's not, or

[Jeff]

she's months away from Being sexually active.

[Bird Show Host]

She's real close.

[Jeff]

I mean, that's being sexually active right there, right?

[Melissa Carter]

Sending nude pict sex is not just, it's not the only sexual activity that you can participate in.

[Jen Hobby]

And I think it depends on what those pictures look like too. If she's in a sexy pose and she's, you know, strutting her stuff, then yes, she's sexually active.

[Bird Show Host]

Hey, David, you're on Q100.

[David]

Hey, good morning.

[Bird Show Host]

Good morning.

[David]

I have two middle schoolers, one in eighth grade, one in seventh grade. My daughter's in seventh grade and she's 13. She got a picture text message last week. A young man sent her picture text of his hands. Well, in the message after the picture text was, it looks like parts of your female anatomy need to be held. And she takes him back and said, please don't send this type stuff to me. And he just berated her back with several things of what? I mean, just nasty F bombs and, you know, calling her a bitch and all this kind of stuff. And we were just, we couldn't believe it. And we actually stumbled on it by accident because my daughter left her phone in, in my wife's car. But we don't allow Facebook, we don't allow MySpace. And to all the parents out there, if you have middle schoolers, definitely check your kids stuff. I mean, you know, I'm old school. I'm, you know, I'm 41 years old and you know, we're definitely checking our kids stuff and it's more of a protection thing. And we were just, you know, we asked, my daughter was like, what? You know, are you sending these kind of texts back? And she said, no, but you've got to protect your kids.

[Bird Show Host]

Thanks for calling. I have one more and then we'll move on. I mean, I think we're getting the same.

[Melissa Carter]

She's got MySpace page somewhere.

[Bird Show Host]

You think so?

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Bird Show Host]

Hey, Kelly, you're on Q100.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

Hey, I caught my 16 year old. He had gotten in trouble and I took his phone and was just scrolling through the messages. I found out he was smoking pot. I found out he was drinking. And this has been like three months and he has not left the house in three months.

[Bird Show Host]

Is that right? I mean, look, here's what the stats are showing you now. One in five.

[Melissa Carter]

Yes, one in five teenagers has sent a new nude or semi nude picture to somebody. One in five, they say, I mean, in a third of 20 something, so. But when you're 20 something, you're an adult.

[Bird Show Host]

Nine out of five teenagers and nine out of 10 parents think it can't be their kid.

[Jeff]

Get it?

[Bird Show Host]

No purchase necessary. VGW Group void.

[David]

We're prohibited by law. 21 plus. Terms and conditions apply.

[Bird Show Host]

What's going on, Andres? How you doing, man?

[Andre 3000]

Well, I'm all right. How y' all doing this morning?

[Bird Show Host]

So what's been going on in your world, man?

[David]

A lot.

[Andre 3000]

Class of 3000 right now, you know, been ready to put this thing on stage and see class of 3,000, which was the animated show. A lot of people know about that, you know, through their kids. Class of 3000 is an animated show that was on Cartoon Network. The premise is this music superstar, which is voiced by myself. He leads the business and comes back home to Atlanta, Georgia. And at the same time, there's these kids at a performing arts school, and they decide, hey, why don't we get this superstar? His name is Sonny Bridges. Why don't we get him to be our music teacher? And so they devised a plan to get him to come and teach at their school, and that's the basis of the whole animated show. And so the Alliance Theater has taken that and they're putting it on stage. So you actually have real people playing these children, and it is hilarious to see, like, these grown people playing kids and embodying a cartoon character.

[Jen Hobby]

Now, the Alliance Theater is responsible for getting the Color Purple up to Broadway. Is that something that you are hopeful for for class of 3,000?

[Andre 3000]

Well, I want it to go as far as it can go. If it goes, I'd love it. You know, that'd be great.

[Bird Show Host]

You seem to have, like, this creative add to me. Like, you're always trying to stretch it a little bit, and I don't want to use the word bored, but you always are always stretching yourself a little in so many different areas. And everything that you seem to touch just seems to be successful.

[Andre 3000]

Well, thank you. And it's funny you say that it is kind of, you know, like a creative add because it's. Have to keep myself excited in a way. You know, I have to kind of keep myself alive. So, you know, I always kind of start things saying, oh, this would be cool. You know, I seldom start anything and say, oh, man, this would. This would make great money, you know, so it's like just ideas. You just try them out, and sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It's all about trying it, you know,

[Jeff]

Whose idea was it to go and put class of 3000 as a live show?

[Andre 3000]

This was the Alliance Theater.

[Jeff]

That's awesome.

[Andre 3000]

You know, they were looking for something to put on stage for their kids, and they felt like it was a perfect marriage. You know, the show took place in Atlanta. I'm from Atlanta. It was about music. And of course, you know, music education and just the arts in school, you know, it's kind of dying out right now. They just felt like it was a perfect thing to do. So they contacted Cartoon Network and got me involved. Is amazing.

[Bird Show Host]

It's a great concept, you know. You know, people are gonna be curious what's going on with you and outcast, because people love to say that the band's not happening anymore, that you guys are done. So why don't you set the record straight?

[Andre 3000]

Well, right now we're concentrating on what always record music, man. Right now we're concentrating on these solo albums. And maybe there will be another outcast. We really don't know. It's all about, you know, how do you feel at the time, to be honest. And, you know, we're kind of getting up there in age. I know I'm only 33 when it comes to. When it comes to music, that's like a. Like a hip hop uncle, but, you know, it's like, you know, you're always trying to keep yourself excited. So right now I'm just concentrating on, you know, what I feel that's really important. And so I have songs that I really feel like, you know, people need to hear, and Big Boy has songs that he feels like people need to hear right now. You know, I go by the studio and check Big Boy out all the time and see what's going on, you know, so it's always, you know, a love kind of thing, but I think, you know, people have to just, you know, realize that it's almost like you growing up in the same house with a brother, and eventually, you know, you have to go out and get your own house and family, you know, And I think a lot of times, because people have seen you together, together for so long, you know, it may. It may seem odd if you go out and, you know, do your own thing, but, you know, I welcome it all. But it's all. It's all good music, man. And then, you know, hopefully do another outcast album.

[Bird Show Host]

I want to be clear on something. I want to be totally clear on something here. So you're saying you're open to an outcast album, but there's always the chance that that's never going to happen again.

[Andre 3000]

Yeah, it's always. It's always. I might not even put out an album.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

You just.

[Andre 3000]

You really don't know. It all depends on how you feel. You know, when we started it, it was just something that, you know, we love to do out of high school. You know, it was never like, you know, okay, we got to do this or we got to do that. You know, it's just however you feel at the time.

[Bird Show Host]

Does quote, unquote, outcast just feel like a muscle that's already been flexed to you and you're just ready to start working out? I mean, in a different way now?

[Andre 3000]

No, because I just feel like if we have something to say, it was always. If you have something to say, that's why. I mean, if you look at the outcast history, we never, like, just, you know, put out, you know, two out, two, three albums a year or anything like that. It was always like, okay, let's do this album. Okay? We feel like we got these songs. We feel like we've got something to present. Let's do it. You know, it was never, like, you know, contractual. We got to do two, three albums a year. Okay, let's go ahead and just try to make it, you know, it was always like, okay, what do you have to say right now? What do you want to present right now? So, you know, I don't want to, you know, just feed people some mess, you know, so it's always, always open, you know.

[Jen Hobby]

Well, Andre, I love your feature on the John Legend greenlight song. I want to know how about how that came about, you working with John Legend.

[Andre 3000]

Really, it was a blessing because the song was done. You know, John had done his part. You know, he sang the Give me the green light part, and the producer of the song, who actually is from Atlanta, he was in the studio, and he let me hear the song, and I was like, oh, man, this is something totally different for John. And I felt like it was such a departure from what he's known to do, you know, from just sitting behind the piano and, you know, singing these great songs. It was kind of like an upbeat jam, and I like the song, and so I said, hey, I got something for it. And so he said, yeah, sure, come on in. And so I put down, you know, my little bridge part and put down, you know, the little lyric rap part, and it just turned out to be what it is now.

[Bird Show Host]

So you did not freestyle that?

[Andre 3000]

I freestyled the end of it, the tail end.

[Bird Show Host]

I want to play this for you guys. If you don't know what you can.

[Andre 3000]

If you can hear, it kind of goes. I think it starts when I don't remember. So y' all get to asking people about lyrics, and they like what you do when you're in the studio. You have prepared pieces, and it's supposed to end, but you, like, you're excited, so you just kind of keep going and you just make up stuff. So you can kind of tell when it starts to freestyle because, you know, the rhythm pattern is kind of just, you know, more primitive, and you just kind of just throwing, like, words out, and it starts to sound like a freestyle. And then I just let them know, hey, that was just a freestyle. So, no, the whole Thing is not a freestyle. So, you know, I'm not gonna sit up here and act like I made up that whole thing completely. A lot of people will do that. But I tell you like that, then

[Jeff]

the next question would be, okay, freestyle something for us right now. As good as that go.

[Andre 3000]

Oh, man, I could not do that. This is funny. What's funny is I'm not even a great freestyle. Like. Like big boy now. Big boy will freestyle you all day long. But I'm more of a writer, to be honest. And when I did that, it was more just like a having fun kind of thing.

[Bird Show Host]

It's a brilliant piece of the song. And this is the clip that he's talking about. This is the John legend song. But Andre starts to steal the show here.

[Andre 3000]

So I went hard like Medusa staring at me. I told her, let's go, let's blow this lame factory. She said, what kind of girl do you think that I are? The kind that you meet in a bar? You think you can get whatever you want? Cause you some kind of star? No, I'm a comin I just want you, woman hey, if I were you it would be me that I go home with three the one and only one thing you ain't considered. I heard you when you told your girl Ooh, we can get it. Admit it, you did it. Let's hop a cab and split it.

[Bird Show Host]

I'm kidding.

[Andre 3000]

We both going to where you living. I got you giggling like a piglet. Oh, that's the ticket. I hope you're more like Anita Baker than Robert Gibbons. No, I don't know that.

[Bird Show Host]

We all tried spontaneously freestyling on the show one day, and we all came up with about two lines, and that was. It was the worst 10 minutes of radio we've ever done in our lives.

[Wendy]

The first one was hard.

[Jeff]

The first line, it's brutal.

[Bird Show Host]

Well, we appreciate your time, and we're gonna link on up to the alliance theater, and we urge you guys to go check out class of 3,000. It's Andre Bench, and we're keeping it here.

[Andre 3000]

Thank you.

[Bird Show Host]

All right, man.

[Andre 3000]

Appreciate it. So contact the alliance theater to get tickets and come on out. Bring the kids. They'll really enjoy it.

[Bird Show Host]

Yeah, I mean, and I've got kids, and I'm always sort of at a loss on weekends what to do with them. There's only can only go to monkey Joe's so many times, you know, and you're sort of, like, searching for things to do. This is the place that's going to be safe now for the next couple of weeks at Alliance Theater.

[Andre 3000]

That's right. So we're giving you a little time to take a nap.

[Bird Show Host]

All right, Andre, thanks a lot, man.

[Caller (Kelly)]

All right, take care, man.

[Andre 3000]

Thank you.

No purchase necessary BTW group void where prohibited by law CTNC21 sponsored by Chumba Casino. Where do we even start? I mean, Wendy, we've been preaching to you now for years. Have you been on the show years?

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

A year?

[Melissa Carter]

Year, year.

[Bird Show Host]

Now that the problem with you being single here is you got zero mojo. You are coming from a place and I'm saying this lovingly, I'm not trying to come down hard on you, but the truth of the matter is this is that you come from a place of desperation and guys can. We can smell it.

[Jen Hobby]

Well, and here's I think what you need to remind Wendy is that the point is, she doesn't need to be that way because she's got everything going for her that you can imagine. So that's the sentiment behind their criticism, is that, hey, don't act this way because you don't need to. Right? I mean, you've got to talk to a girl in a way that you're talking to a girl. You can't talk to a girl like you talk to a guy.

[Bird Show Host]

Okay, let me.

[Jen Hobby]

So be careful with the way you word things, or else she's gonna shut down and not have. Yeah, I'm trying not listen to anything you have to say.

[Bird Show Host]

Well, Wendy's told me before that she just wants it honest. Be totally and completely honest with her. So I could either sugarcoat this, or I can be 100% and say, look,

[Jen Hobby]

as a guy, no, we're women. Sugarcoat.

[Bird Show Host]

Jeff, Jeff, no, you can do honesty.

[Jeff]

I'm joking.

[Jen Hobby]

No honesty.

[Wendy]

Because apparently I'm desperate. But I don't even see that I'm desperate.

[Bird Show Host]

You come from a place of desperation, and guys know it. Am I wrong here?

[Jeff]

You do, based on the way you behave. And here's the. We see it, I think, more when you're not around the guys. But it always goes back to the example when we were up at the lake and we're going to the dive bar, and we're like, we're leaving in 10 minutes, and everybody's in the driveway with flip flops and T shirts and jeans or cargo shorts. And then you come down in a black dress, full makeup, and heels. Like, that is a desperate move right there.

[Bird Show Host]

Guys can see that, and they know that you want it too much.

[Wendy]

I don't even know we're gonna meet Mr.

[Jen Hobby]

Right.

[Bird Show Host]

It's not gonna be at that bar. And it's so funny, but it wasn't gonna be at Disney World a couple of weeks ago when you were that

[Jeff]

bumped at the point. You say that, but guess what? Like Mr. Right. The Mr. Right who's at the bar that's built on a pier, you know what I mean, that has water underneath it where you can actually fish while you eat.

[Bird Show Host]

Like that place.

[Jeff]

The guys there aren't gonna be interested in a girl wearing a short black dress and heels and full makeup for other than one thing. Same thing at Disney World. Like the people walking around Disney World in leather pants. Like the guys who see them. Like, you get so that right there appears to be trying too hard.

[Bird Show Host]

And you've told us before, like, your lady sometimes at our events is just to kiss a boy. I want to kiss boys tonight. Guys can smell that. They know we know because you have. It takes away your mojo entirely. If you want it too much, guys can sense that.

[Jen Hobby]

And you want less. You have to care so much less than you do.

[Wendy]

I can't not care.

[Bird Show Host]

Then you have to pretend. Then you have to act.

[Wendy]

Oh, okay. Well, how do you pretend to not care if you care?

[Jen Hobby]

I don't know the answer to that one.

[Bird Show Host]

You have to act. You have to.

[Melissa Carter]

That's.

[Bird Show Host]

This is the game that we're trying to tell you, that people say that, oh, I don't want to play the game. I just want to be totally and completely honest. In the dating world, that doesn't work. You got to play the game.

[Wendy]

Games are stupid. Someone's gonna like you whether you play a game or not, right?

[Bird Show Host]

Nope.

[Jeff]

It's yes, they'll like you. But getting into it, right? You're not going to. You don't. Here's the deal. If a guy. If you're hanging out at the. At the bar that you can fish from, right, and you're having a good time and everything's cool, the guy who comes up and meets you there and gets your number that night and makes out with you that night and probably calls you the next day and sees you the next day is gonna do the same thing to a different girl next week. That's not what you're looking for. You're looking for a guy who's gonna be into you, which means you gotta make them dance a little. Make him hustle.

[Bird Show Host]

Do you remember that book that came out a couple of years ago called the Rules that everybody was so critical about? This game playing book that came out.

[Jeff]

Remember when he was in fourth grade when it came out. So she doesn't.

[Bird Show Host]

It said it was a book on basically how to get a guy by just not caring. There are certain rules. If he calls you, you don't call him back immediately. If he texts you.

[Wendy]

That doesn't work. That didn't work.

[Bird Show Host]

Text back immediately.

[Wendy]

Didn't work.

[Bird Show Host]

Go ahead.

[Wendy]

It did not work.

[Jen Hobby]

It's a game of numbers, though.

[Andre 3000]

But you don't.

[Jeff]

It did work because you weeded that guy out. You don't want him. It did work. You're saying that you. Like we're. The cream rises to the top. Look it, I am being praised like I am in church right now. Listen to it. You're saying it didn't work because you didn't get the guy. The rest of us are all saying it did work because you don't want that guy.

[Bird Show Host]

That guy. You were a booty call for that guy.

[Jeff]

If the guy couldn't call you back and make a relationship with you because you waited 24 hours or not even that 15 hours to text him back then you don't want that guy.

[Wendy]

But I think that goes for a phone call. Like text is almost immediate in general.

[Bird Show Host]

I'm glad we're getting into this now cuz Jeff brought up a point. You know, I forget what we do on a day to day basis here but when we had Phil Turana on

[Jeff]

the show years ago, that's what we do. We help.

[Bird Show Host]

That's all we can try to do. Jeff.

[Jeff]

Look at our hearts.

[Jen Hobby]

Look at them extending their helping hand.

[Jeff]

Wendy, put your hand on my chest and feel how my heart beats for you.

[Bird Show Host]

Phil Turan a couple of years ago on the show, same situation. Dude. The nicest guy in the world. Heart of Gold. Zero game. 000 game. So we did this bit to where I guided him through a relationship with a girl. He was not allowed to make any decisions at all. I made all the decisions for him for how many weeks?

[Jeff]

I mean for whatever the period of time was. It worked perfectly. For 95% of the time it was flawless.

[Bird Show Host]

I was reeling her in. I mean we were reeling her in.

[Jeff]

And it was the first 95% because it all fell to pieces when one thing happened, didn't I?

[Bird Show Host]

Like went out of town or something like that and he went off script.

[Jeff]

You were unavailable.

[Bird Show Host]

He was unavailable. And he took matters into his own hands and he lost the girl in like 24 hours.

[Jeff]

And that's not a joke. Like it was seriously a situation where

[Jen Hobby]

it's really the same thing. It's over.

[Melissa Carter]

Eager.

[Jeff]

He would call Bert like on a Saturday afternoon and go, dude, she just called me and asked me if I wanted to meet her at Applebee's for drinks before we go out tonight. What do I say? And Bert would give her guidance. Well, one day Bert was doing something stupid like playing with his kids or whatever and couldn't take the phone call. And so Phil just said on his own. You know what I think? You know what? Breakfast right now is a good idea. And went to breakfast with her. And whatever happened, she seriously dumped him the next day.

[Bird Show Host]

He made himself too available too soon. Here's what I want to do with you. Okay? Jeff got this AT&T phone. Okay? I am going to give you the phone number to this phone.

[Jen Hobby]

Okay?

[Bird Show Host]

When you meet guys this weekend you give them this phone number, okay? They are going to Think they're texting you, but they're really texting me. And I'm going to play it all weekend long. I am going to be you all weekend long.

[Melissa Carter]

Awesome.

[Wendy]

Any guy I meet this weekend, any

[Bird Show Host]

guy that you're really interested in.

[Jen Hobby]

Okay, okay.

[Bird Show Host]

That you want to reel in, I am going to be you texting all weekend long, and I'm going to show you how this is done.

[Jen Hobby]

So you got to give out that phone number a couple of times.

[Jeff]

And you know what? It's. It's all like, we'll set it up with. You'll put your own voicemail on there. So if they call you, Bert will set it up so he'll have the password and everything. And so when they call you and they're like, hey, what's up, Wendy? It's Jeff. I met you last night at five paces of blah, blah, blah. He'll hear the message, and then he will write a text back to the dude. So then I would get a text back from you that says, hey, got your voicemail. We'll try to call you tomorrow. Like, so he's playing the role of you for. I mean, we have the phone as long as we need it. All right, so he starts this week at&T. Their heart also bleeds for you, Wendy.

[Wendy]

Oh, man. So I can't talk to any of the dudes I meet?

[Bird Show Host]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna reel them in, and then once I get them, then I will hand it over to you. But you can't get. You can't get through the first couple of phases.

[Jeff]

And you can just say, can we

[Jen Hobby]

also do this when Wendy gets in a relationship and starts sexting them?

[Bird Show Host]

No, no, no.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

I want to know what you would write.

[Jeff]

And just so you know, the way it'll work is, like, if Burp plays it around for a couple weeks, and then you could just say, hey, I. You know, I switched my number. And he'll turn. He'll release the men over to you, and you just say, hey, I switched my number. I got an iPhone, or whatever, and boom, you're done.

[Bird Show Host]

Just let me get them on the boat. And you could choose to do what you want with them. You can make them a trophy, you can eat them, whatever, but I'm gonna bring them in.

[Jeff]

It's like fish. It's like F for marlin. Like, the guy. You're the captain of the boat who

[Wendy]

reels him in, but Bert's never reeled one in.

[Bird Show Host]

So what am I supposed to do?

[Wendy]

Bert's never Reeled a marlin in.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

Great.

[Bird Show Host]

Hey, Brandy, go ahead. You're on Q100.

[Caller (Various Female Callers)]

Yeah, I was just going to say that guys still like the chase. And I was totally in that place last year and I started not caring and I got tons and tons of calls right away and just ignored them for a while. And now I'm in a long term relationship.

[Bird Show Host]

Jen, what is your infamous line about guys and hunting?

[Jen Hobby]

Oh, men are hunters. Let them hunt.

[Bird Show Host]

You don't let them hunt.

[Wendy]

I'm not good at that.

[Bird Show Host]

Jump into their truck and you say, here I am. You're a deer that jumps into the back of the truck and goes.

[Jen Hobby]

Just says, here, I'm already here. I'm already dead.

[Jeff]

They have.

[Jen Hobby]

I'm a venison burger.

[Jeff]

They have the rope in their mouth and like tie me to the hood.

[Bird Show Host]

It's already done. So here's the fun. I will give you the phone number.

[Jen Hobby]

It's actually a good analogy.

[Jeff]

What? The hunter.

[Wendy]

I'm a deer.

[Jen Hobby]

The deer that jumps in the back of the truck. What fun is that?

[Bird Show Host]

Now you go ahead, you put the gun away.

[Jen Hobby]

I mean, why put on the camouflage and all the other stuff if it's just gonna jump in the back of your truck?

[Jeff]

Yeah, why waste a bullet?

[Wendy]

Well, at least you have something in the bag just in case you can't catch anything.

[Jeff]

Stop covering your.

[Jen Hobby]

Why you want to be the. Just in case you want to be the prize?

[Bird Show Host]

This is what we're talking about. You're coming from the desperate.

[Wendy]

Looking at the picture.

[Jeff]

Wendy, you deserve a guy that's willing to climb in the tree and cover himself in urine and sit there for half a day.

[Bird Show Host]

What woman doesn't want that?

[Jeff]

That's what you deserve.

[Wendy]

I need a urine covered man.

[Jeff]

Wendy, I want for you a urine soaked man. And with Bert's help, you will get one. You will get a man in camouflage.

[Jen Hobby]

I'm sure I will.

[Jeff]

At Park Tavern with a bright orange hat and covered in deer urine.

[Bird Show Host]

I will actually. That's gonna be funny cause I will actually be at Park Tavern with you on Saturday. You're gonna be giving your phone number out and I'm gonna get the text. All right? So here's the phone. You go, you set up the voicemail and everything. You give the phone number out and I will respond as Wendy for the next couple of weeks.

[Jen Hobby]

Oh, it's gonna be weeks.

[Bird Show Host]

See how long it takes.

[Jeff]

Oh, my God, 15 years.

[Bird Show Host]

Listen, it's the vert show.
