Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Restless Genital Syndrome: An Unexpected Medical Aftermath (00:30–04:00)

• Story Introduction
  Host Bert brings up a unique story: after a car accident, a woman develops “Restless Genital Syndrome” (or Persistent Sexual Arousal), leaving her in a continuous state of arousal triggered by even simple things like putting on pants or riding in a car.

  • Bert:

    "She hit her…her pelvis got sort of mangled in this accident in just the right place to where it struck some kind of nerve and she can't go anywhere or do anything without being aroused or getting the big old O." (01:30)

  • The hosts discuss both the medical and personal impact, emphasizing how the condition, despite its surface humor, is actually a grave burden.

  • Melissa:

    "I remember this woman in the news that had this before said that despite all the jokes, that it was such a burden on her life." (03:10)

  • Bert:

    "She says it's terrible. Like it's ruining her marriage because she's insatiable. Like, her husband is trying to keep up, and he absolutely can't." (03:18)

  • The hosts joke about the difficulties—how even riding in a car could trigger the syndrome.

  • Memorable Moment: Jen Hobby pantomimes the situation:

    "Jen Hobby is stabbing herself in the pelvis right now, attempting to recreate what she heard." (02:28)

2. The Clermont Motor Hotel Saga (04:00–06:00)

• The team pivots to Atlanta news—the closure of the infamous Clermont Motor Hotel, which housed the equally famous Claremont Lounge.

  • Melissa:

    "The shocking part is people were living there. I thought that hotel was abandoned. I thought the lounge was the only active place." (04:04)

  • They explain the Claremont Lounge's legacy:

    • A grungy, beloved ATL strip club with a reputation for “Baby boomer strippers” and the iconic Blondie, “the woman that crushes beer cans with her boobs.”
    • The lounge survives, but the hotel gets shuttered due to health violations like "dirty linen, old bedding, bed bug stains." (05:10)

  • Bert:

    "It was 185 bucks a week, and the place was packed." (05:27)

  • The bar is described for its “charmingly seedy” ambiance, with no glassware—drinks served in tiny solo cups.

3. Listener Calls: Medical and Personal Stories (06:10–10:48)

• Caller Mike shares about his mother’s inadvertent experience with a medication that triggered frequent orgasms.

  • Caller Mike:

    "My mother had a medical reaction to some medication...it caused her to have multiple big O's…like within maybe five minutes of each other." (06:21)

  • Mike recounts the awkward family fallout and his mom having to get medical counteraction.

  • Jen Hobby probes:

    "How did she tell you that?...Did you drive her to the hospital?" (07:38–07:47)

  • The hosts joke and riff on the situation, while acknowledging the discomfort.

    • Melissa: "I can imagine my mother. I don't want to know about my mother's orgasms." (07:29)

• Caller Karen recounts her brother’s stint living in the Clermont Motor Hotel, giving a personal perspective on its clientele and atmosphere.

  • Caller Karen:

    "He was an alcoholic…he had nowhere to go." (09:35) "It was so teeny tiny. It reminded me of something that you have in New York, where you pay thousands for rent…" (08:53)

  • She learns only through The Bert Show that her brother lived atop the Claremont Lounge, noting the peculiar irony of an alcoholic’s recovery space being above a bar.

4. Reflections on the Claremont Lounge and Its Legacy (10:28–10:48)

• The hosts reflect on the Lounge’s character—how most locals haven’t realized that people lived upstairs, and how the Lounge, despite rumors of its demise, persists as a cultural landmark.

[Bert]

Listen, it's the vert show. It's a bummer. I'm so disorganized. I had two post 830 stories to tell you guys to run by you guys this morning and I can't find one of them and also I'll just have to find it for tomorrow. But it has to do with restless genital syndrome or persistent sexual arousal. It's a woman that got into a car accident and for whatever reason or she, she hit her. Her pelvis got sort of mangled in this accident in just the right place to where it struck some kind of nerve and she can't go anywhere or do anything without being aroused or getting the Big old. Oh, I mean, so you're talking about, like, when she puts on pants. If there's anything touching that area.

[Jen Hobby]

I would like to.

[Bert]

She's off and running.

[Jen Hobby]

I would like to. Just for the.

[Bert]

All day and all night long. She's insatiable.

[Jen Hobby]

For the benefit of the people who are listening on the radio and can't see, but Jen Hobby is stabbing herself in the pelvis right now, attempting to recreate that she heard.

[Bert]

Melissa, you read that story yesterday, too, right? Yeah.

[Melissa]

And we've talked to. Either we've talked to somebody, or we covered a story about this in the past on the show as well, where there was a woman that claimed that she had an orgasm every. I don't know, it was very short spurts in between. And then she. I didn't mean that, but you know what I'm saying? And so the same thing. And so, I mean, obviously it has a name. Restless. What is it?

[Bert]

Restless Genital Syndrome. That's not my name. That's the given medical term for it.

[Melissa]

And I remember this woman in the news that had this before said that despite all the jokes, that it was such a burden on her life.

[Bert]

She says it's terrible. Like it's ruining her marriage because she's insatiable. Like, her husband is trying to keep up, and he absolutely can't. I mean, she can't walk. She can't be in the car. Anytime she feels a bump in the car, goes over a pothole, car's all flat.

[Melissa]

Dude, you're having an orgasm on the couch. Because I'm a pothole, they call you a wrecker.

[Bert]

And the second story is, sadly, the Clermont Hotel is shutting down.

[Host]

Oh, no.

[Caller Karen]

Did I do that?

[Jen Hobby]

Your hotel's all dirty in chunks.

[Bert]

Yeah. The health inspector, believe it or not, went by this place and they found a lot of violations. I know that's really, really hard to believe.

[Jen Hobby]

The hard to believe part about it is that the health inspector just now went by.

[Melissa]

The shocking part is people were living there. I thought that hotel was abandoned. I thought the lounge was the only active place.

[Bert]

Yeah, it's actually the Claremont Motor Hotel that is being abandoned now. And if you're new to Atlanta, the Claremont Lounge is. I mean, it's a tradition in Atlanta.

[Melissa]

You have to go at least once, because once is pretty much all you can take. No.

[Bert]

How do you explain exactly? I mean, in a.

[Melissa]

In a respectful way. Dirtiest, grungiest basement bar. It's a strip club. The Claremont Lounge is a strip club.

[Bert]

The AJC says it's Baby boomer strip dancers.

[Jen Hobby]

Hey, that's a. That's a bad description.

[Bert]

Really, really nice.

[Melissa]

Yeah, they say it's worsers go to die. That's what the common phrase is. I, you know, tried to avoid that,

[Bert]

but it was charming. But it was awesome.

[Melissa]

But I was dirty.

[Bert]

And it was almost a parody.

[Melissa]

Or if you order a liquor drink,

[Jen Hobby]

it comes in one of those teeny, tiny little solo cups.

[Melissa]

There's no glassware at this bar.

[Jen Hobby]

Like, it's all.

[Melissa]

You just have to go and see it.

[Bert]

It's hard to describe these something year old woman that crushes beyond with her boobs.

[Melissa]

Blondie.

[Bert]

Yeah, Blondie's notorious. And now the whole thing's going away. Cause the hotel was just a mess. The Fulton county health inspector uncovered a laundry list of stuff. Dirty linen, old bedding, bed bug stains.

[Melissa]

I didn't know anybody was living there.

[Bert]

It was 185 bucks a week, and the place was packed.

[Jen Hobby]

And all the stuff that Bert is listing was found between Blondie's breasts.

[Melissa]

Aw. Now, but the lounge is. Because they've said this before. They said that this was being, you know, closing down everything, and it didn't.

[Bert]

So hold on a sec. Let me see here. The basement Claremont Lounge and its aging troop of strippers is unaffected by the hotel's closing. So maybe that means it is staying open. So the lounge stays open and the hotel goes away. That's good news for you, Jeff.

[Jen Hobby]

But then, yeah, where do you stay? Because, you know, there's nothing more fun than going to the Clermont Lounge and finding a nice Lassie and taking her up to one of the fancy rooms. Ew. Ew, Ew, Ew.

[Caller Mike]

The.

[Jen Hobby]

Yeah, I think they just do it in the bar.

[Bert]

You don't have to go to a room. Hey, Mike. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Caller Mike]

Hey, how's it going?

[Bert]

Okay, man, how are you?

[Caller Mike]

Very good, very good. Guys, love your show.

[Bert]

Thank you.

[Caller Mike]

I just wanted to comment on what you were talking about earlier. My mother had a medical reaction to some medication that she was taking at one time. It was for, say, I guess you could say a psychological medication. And it caused her to have multiple big O's, as you call them, like within maybe five minutes of each other.

[Bert]

So it wouldn't be an all day type thing. When she finally had one and she

[Caller Mike]

just couldn't stop, right? She had one. She was on the medication. And when she would take that medication, she kept feeling funny, as she called it. And it got to be so bad because she was taking the medication for A couple of days. And after it was finally in her system. It was in her system. So they had. She had to go to the hospital and actually have a. Like a shot to stop the counteract medication to stop her from having them.

[Bert]

You know, there's going to be a whole bunch of virtual listeners emailing us today asking what that medication was.

[Caller Mike]

Probably.

[Melissa]

I can imagine my mother. I don't want to know about my mother's orgasms.

[Caller Mike]

I didn't either, but, you know, happened.

[Jen Hobby]

Did she call and like, just out of curiosity, how did you about your mom? How did she tell you that? Like, how did she explain what she

[Melissa]

driver to the hospital?

[Jen Hobby]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller Mike]

I didn't drive her to the hospital, but it was kind of funny. But she called up one day and she was talking to my wife and she was telling my wife and her. Had a pretty good, you know, conversation that day.

[Bert]

I guess they did.

[Caller Mike]

It was pretty funny. So that's how I actually found out about it. I was talking to my wife and my wife was telling me.

[Bert]

Did your mom tell your wife, like, let's just keep this between us.

[Caller Mike]

I mean, I'm pretty sure she did, but, you know, everything between me and my wife is between me and my wife. So until now.

[Jen Hobby]

Do you ever, like, when you're at events and stuff, like family function, do you ever kid her about that? Like, you know, like, give her a good Christmas, kid.

[Melissa]

I'm a pill momma.

[Jen Hobby]

Oh, don't have an orgasm. I'm just giving you a Christmas present. Here, Mom.

[Caller Mike]

I've always wanted to slip one in her drink to see if it would.

[Bert]

Now got creepy. Hey, Karen, good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Jen Hobby]

Hi, Mom Gasm.

[Caller Karen]

Good morning. Hilarious. So hilarious.

[Bert]

How are you?

[Caller Karen]

I'm fine, thank you. I just called to tell you they talking about the Claremont Lounge Hotel. Yeah, My brother lived there for a time, probably about seven years ago. I would go visit him and I had to go like a double glass door and show my id and they had to announce me to my brother. Very. A lot of weird security. But when you go inside into his room, his apartment, it was so teeny tiny. It reminded me something that you have in New York where you pay thousands of dollars for rent and it's just a teeny tiny room.

[Bert]

Let me ask you this. Of all the rooms and apartments in Atlanta, why did he choose the Clermont Motor Hotel?

[Caller Karen]

Oh, well, that was the sad story. He was an alcoholic and he had been through a couple of programs. And then after you finish, he. He had roommates before and had burnt those bridges, so to speak. And so he really had nowhere to go.

[Jen Hobby]

Do you have a follow up to that bird or are you good?

[Caller Karen]

No.

[Bert]

Pardon me, I'm gonna store that one under one question too many.

[Caller Karen]

But he ended up. It was pathetic, but you know, but I did not realize there was a lounge underneath. And here it was. Here was my brother being an alcoholic and he was trying to get, you know, clear and free of alcoholism. And I'll go visit him and he would be south. I'm like, you haven't been able at this apartment. You'll have a car. Where are you? I did not know till I listened to the bird show years ago.

[Melissa]

Really?

[Caller Karen]

I heard you talking about. I'm like all that time now realize where he was.

[Jen Hobby]

See now what's interesting about that is it's surprising that he ever went in there sober. Like he must have been really battling the demons because most people don't go into the Claremont Lounge until they are

[Bert]

pretty well sauced or you go on your way quickly. Yes, but I'm with you guys. Like I've been there a couple of different times. I really didn't know anybody actually lived there.

[Melissa]

I didn't either.

[Bert]

And I've seen lights on in the place. This is the Birch Show.
