[Host 3]

The bird Show. So Suzanne here is taking us up on our offer and she wants to use our show to get some notoriety for her husband who is in a competition to be like the nation's hottest husband. And a lot of women I think would be insecure by that. Like, no way.

[Host 4]

Yeah, she's already landed him. That's her man.

[Host 3]

How she's feeling. Hey, Suzanne.

[Suzanne]

Good morning. How are you?

[Host 3]

Good, how are you?

[Suzanne]

I'm good, thank you.

[Host 3]

All right, now, you and your husband live in the CULA here?

[Suzanne]

We do.

[Host 3]

Okay. And how did he get nominated for hottest husband? Did you do the nominating or did somebody do it for you?

[Suzanne]

Actually, I did it. I was flipping through the magazine and I saw the little tidbit and I had thought, well, you know, a lot of people have always told me how attractive Zach is, and so I thought, you know, why not? So I entered in the contest and couple weeks ago they called and let us know that he was kind of a finalist.

[Host 4]

Awesome.

[Suzanne]

And I know I had to answer a bunch of questions and send in some pictures. And then actually on his birthday, they called to tell us that he made the top 22.

[Host 3]

Wow. So he was up there for a while with like 50 other guys and they've made their first cuts.

[Suzanne]

Yeah, they, I think it was like a national wide search. And then they, I think they cut it down to, I'm not sure exactly how many. They just, when they originally called, just said, you know, we are making the final selections and he's one of them. So just give us as much information as you can, send in some more pictures. And then from there they pick the top 22.

[Host 4]

Have we talked about what Magazine it is not yet.

[Suzanne]

Have we mentioned. Okay, all right.

[Host 3]

You can.

[Host 4]

Yeah. Which magazine is it?

[Suzanne]

It's actually Red Book.

[Host 4]

Red Book. Okay. Awesome.

[Suzanne]

Yeah. So. And we're very excited. He's. He's a little taken back, I think, by it. At first. I didn't tell him when I did it, and when they called originally, I thought, well, maybe I should fess up and see how he feels. And he was a little like, you did. What?

[Host 3]

Is he a guy? Is he a guy that knows he's good looking, or is he one of these guys? Like, I don't see it. I have no idea.

[Suzanne]

No, I mean, you know, he takes it in stride. He's just not one of those guys that's like, I'm so hot, you know? And I think he knows he's a good guy, he's an attractive guy, but he doesn't flaunt it, you know, he's not one of those guys, so you'll

[Host 3]

flaunt it for him.

[Host 4]

So what was the process like, going through to pick out what picture to send in? Because if you didn't tell him, he obviously didn't pose for, like, super hot pictures or anything. You just had to pick ones you already had.

[Suzanne]

Yeah. And, you know, it's. It's funny because it's like you said, you know, as you were talking about earlier, you know, the insecurity. Zach is so photogenic. It's really hard. Like, he doesn't really take a bad picture. So it was kind of like just going through family shots and, you know, sending in pictures with the girls or sending pictures in with me and then, you know, just cropping, you know, down to just him.

[Host 4]

So you said the girls, you guys have daughters?

[Suzanne]

Yeah, we have two girls. Madison and Kendall. They're eight and five, and they are big time daddy girls. This is their dad.

[Host 3]

This is so different from the conversation we had a couple of months ago with that one guy that was calling up saying that there were no pictures of him anywhere in the house.

[Host 4]

Yes. Yes.

[Host 3]

The wife was taking him down because she didn't think he was good looking.

[Host 4]

Right?

[Suzanne]

Yeah, no, it's. It's not that way at all. I mean, actually, Zach and Madison. Madison, my oldest, they are. They love photos. I mean, if you see a camera, like, they're posing and take a picture, and Kendall and I are always like, okay, let's take your picture. So we kind of stay behind the scenes and do our thing.

[Host 3]

But so at the end of the day, what do you guys get if he wins?

[Suzanne]

We get a vacation package. I think it's to Antigua. So we're very, you know, really kind of excited about the possibility of doing that. We didn't really go on a, like, vacation honeymoon. So this is kind of going to be a nice little treat if we actually get to go. Have you talked to him? Will he take you?

[Host 3]

No.

[Suzanne]

My dad's joked several times like, hey, your mom and I have never been there. And I'm like, well, you'll get a week with your kids, your grandkids.

[Host 3]

Well, you can help these guys out because we have a link right on up to his voting [e-mail]. So when does the voting go through?

[Suzanne]

It is through March 19th. So if you guys can vote, vote, vote, that'd be great.

[Host 3]

All right, so we've got some time here to remind people. But yeah, you can go up online. You can go to our website right now, Q100 Atlanta. Click on the Burt Show. One of the first things you'll see up there is dude's photo and you can vote right for him. And his name again is Zach Miller. Zach. All right, good luck.

[Host 4]

Yes.

[Suzanne]

All right, thanks so much, guys.

[Host 3]

Thanks, Suzanne.

[Suzanne]

Bye.

[Host 3]

Bye. The Birch Show.

[Host 2]

Okay, don't laugh.

[Host 1]

I'm gonna laugh.

[Host 2]

I bought a domain at 2am last night.

[Host 3]

I love that for you.

[Host 2]

It was just there calling to me.

[Suzanne]

Where?

[Host 2]

On wix. I even built a whole website last night with its AI website builder, WIX Harmony. But I was still in bed by 2:30, so you should be proud of me.

[Host 3]

That was very responsible of you.

[Host 2]

You should try it, too. Maybe I will just go to wix.com domains.
