Jeff (Host) (1:57)

If you hear a song, even that has like an obscure sample in it. And then somebody points out what that sample is. It's the only thing you can hear. Get out of my head.

Javi (Co-host) (2:04)

It's like my dad, when I was a teenager could point out how many times I said like in a sentence. And he would go, I would tell him a conversation, you know, how was school today? And I would finish it and he would be like, 13. 13 times you said the word like in that sentence, and then all you can do is say like, yes, because you're trying not to.

Jeff (Host) (2:22)

Hey, John. Welcome to the bird show.

Caller Steve (2:25)

Hey, good morning.

Jeff (Host) (2:26)

What's going on, man?

Caller Steve (2:28)

Just. Just venting on you, Jeff.

Jeff (Host) (2:31)

Okay.

Melissa (Co-host) (2:31)

Oh, no.

Caller Steve (2:33)

You know, I guess one thing I can't really. I'm not really happy about the way that, you know, your northern accent really gets on my nerves.

Jeff (Host) (2:43)

Now, getting on your nerves is one thing, but have you ever said, I'm never listening to that show again?

Caller Steve (2:48)

Oh, hell yeah.

Jeff (Host) (2:49)

Okay, good.

Javi (Co-host) (2:51)

We're glad you're back.

Jeff (Host) (2:53)

How often do you say that?

Caller Steve (2:55)

Well, just about every day I listen to you. You know, the only reason, you know, you talk about this ranch dressing. I know a lot of northerners, and they. They like ranch dressing. You talk about putting ranch dressing. Makes love to ranch dressing and all this stuff. But. But, you know, really and truly, you're too opinionated. And when y'. All. When the. When Bert's not there. Yeah, it's.

Brandy (Caller) (3:13)

It's.

Caller Steve (3:14)

It's total different show, you know, and I think you compensate a little bit too much. You're not yourself. When. When he's not there, you kind of change a little bit. You know, I. I don. That's one thing, but I think most of all, it's that northern damn accent.

Javi (Co-host) (3:33)

He's so southern, he can't stand it.

Jeff (Host) (3:35)

And the worst part about having a northern or having an accent and being the person with it is you don't hear your own accent.

Javi (Co-host) (3:41)

I don't hear your accent.

Brandy (Caller) (3:42)

I don't either.

Jeff (Host) (3:43)

If I could.

Javi (Co-host) (3:43)

I'm just used to it.

Jeff (Host) (3:44)

If I could, I would exaggerate it, like, if I knew what it was.

Javi (Co-host) (3:47)

Yeah. I notice your accent is when you say ruin instead of ruin.

Melissa (Co-host) (3:51)

Yeah. I laugh internally that every time that guy was. And I'm never listening again.

Jeff (Host) (3:56)

That fella right there is pretty southern. He probably think you have a northern accent, Ms. Javi.

Javi (Co-host) (4:00)

That's true.

Melissa (Co-host) (4:00)

You know what annoys me is there's no accent there. Fake southern accents. Don't norm me.

Brandy (Caller) (4:04)

Hey, Randy, by the way, ranch dressing is really good on everything.

Jeff (Host) (4:08)

Oh, ranch dressing is heaven.

Brandy (Caller) (4:09)

I know.

Amica Insurance Announcer (4:10)

I love it.

Jeff (Host) (4:10)

Hey, what's going on, Randy?

Brandy (Caller) (4:12)

Well, it's Brandy, actually. Hey, Brandy, I stopped listening to you all, I guess because my ego got hurt a few years. About four years ago, you all had. You send your picture in and you get ranked. You want to like me a four?

Javi (Co-host) (4:26)

Oh, no.

Brandy (Caller) (4:27)

I'm like, there's no way in heck that I'M a four. I mean, I'm just like, okay.

Caller Steve (4:32)

I was like.

Brandy (Caller) (4:33)

And then I think it was Tracy doing it. I'm like, well, that skis isn't that cute either, so I'm just gonna stop listening.

Jeff (Host) (4:43)

Did you. Did you come back?

Brandy (Caller) (4:45)

Yeah, I did.

Melissa (Co-host) (4:46)

We missed you. Yeah, I'm glad you're back.

Jeff (Host) (4:48)

Did you come back to the show when you heard that Tracy got all pregnant, which means she's getting fat and that way.

Brandy (Caller) (4:53)

I actually came back before then.

Jeff (Host) (4:54)

Okay, good.

Melissa (Co-host) (4:55)

I can't believe you said that, Jeff.

Jeff (Host) (4:56)

But it's part of you secretly happy that she's pregnant.

Brandy (Caller) (5:00)

Well, I'm not mad. I mean, that's a good thing.

Caller Steve (5:03)

So.

Brandy (Caller) (5:04)

Yeah, but I mean, I'm mad. I mean, I wish her luck, but I'm like, I'm so not a four.

Jeff (Host) (5:08)

I don't think she was doing the rating. I mean, I don't want him to send you away again, but I think she was just bringing them into us and telling and reporting what the ratings were. But if I'm not mistaken, I think we were rating you.

Javi (Co-host) (5:18)

No, I thought it was listeners. I thought it was other listeners doing the ratings.

Melissa (Co-host) (5:23)

We just got. We got her back.

Javi (Co-host) (5:24)

We just got her back.

Brandy (Caller) (5:25)

Especially with that picture I've been in. I'm like. I don't like somebody's a jello tapper.

Jeff (Host) (5:32)

Do you want to send in another picture, Jeff?

Melissa (Co-host) (5:34)

We just got her back.

Caller Steve (5:36)

No.

Javi (Co-host) (5:36)

Brandy loves us now.

Melissa (Co-host) (5:37)

Thank you, Brandy.

Caller Steve (5:38)

Thank you.

Jeff (Host) (5:38)

Bye, Brandy.

Brandy (Caller) (5:39)

Thank you. Bye.

Caller Steve (5:39)

Bye.

Melissa (Co-host) (5:40)

I don't know what's wrong with you.

Jeff (Host) (5:41)

Hey, Cody. What's going on?

Caller Steve (5:43)

Good morning.

Jeff (Host) (5:43)

What's up?

Brandy (Caller) (5:44)

Good morning.

Caller Steve (5:45)

I used to hate you guys.

Melissa (Co-host) (5:47)

Why?

Caller Steve (5:48)

I was a loyal fan to 99X.

Melissa (Co-host) (5:51)

Oh, I see.

Jeff (Host) (5:52)

And we took him over.

Melissa (Co-host) (5:54)

I still get that. I still get people mad at me.

Jeff (Host) (5:57)

But you gave us a chance, and

Caller Steve (5:59)

I gave you guys a chance. And Bert just had the best personality. And you all are hilarious. So every morning when I go to work.

Jeff (Host) (6:08)

Did you especially like those pictures of Burt with his shirt off?

Caller Steve (6:12)

That's a negative.

Javi (Co-host) (6:16)

Now he's never listening again.

Melissa (Co-host) (6:17)

He's like, jeff, I'm sabotaging this.

Jeff (Host) (6:21)

I hear that a lot, too. Like the 99x thing.

Melissa (Co-host) (6:24)

I just got it the other day.

Jeff (Host) (6:25)

Hey, Steve. Welcome to the show.

Caller Steve (6:28)

Hey, how's it going?

Jeff (Host) (6:28)

What's up?

Caller Steve (6:29)

Hey, yeah, I was just calling. I still listen to the show. You know, I love you guys, and my wife actually is the one that got me started, but now she's kind of ticked off at you guys.

Melissa (Co-host) (6:39)

What do we do what we do.

Caller Steve (6:41)

Well, it was just the. When the whole Obama inauguration was going on, and she kind of felt like you were a little over the top on it, and she's a big Republican, so it kind of hurt her feelings a little bit, and she just got turned off.

Jeff (Host) (6:58)

And remind us again, who is Obama?

Caller Steve (7:02)

Obama is our president.

Javi (Co-host) (7:04)

Well, tell her that now that it's, you know, the election coverage and the inauguration and everything is said and done, we're back to talking about much more superficial things, right?

Caller Steve (7:12)

Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell her, but I think for a little while, she needs to. She needs to not listen.

Javi (Co-host) (7:19)

She needs to nurse her McCain wounds.

Caller Steve (7:22)

Yeah. I think she's. I think she's kind of chilled out right now.

Jeff (Host) (7:27)

I don't know what this is about, but if you want to tell her to listen tomorrow when Bert is back, if he's feeling better, he'll be back tomorrow. Apparently, he said on the air yesterday that he.

Melissa (Co-host) (7:38)

He's not happy with Obama.

Jeff (Host) (7:39)

He's not happy with Obama, who he voted for. So you may want to have her tune in for that, and that'll make her. Because I won't say much during that, but inside, I'll be like,

Caller Steve (7:50)

okay, thanks

Jeff (Host) (7:51)

for the call, Steve.

Caller Steve (7:51)

All right, thanks.

Jeff (Host) (7:52)

I see you.

Ryan from Chumba Casino (7:52)

Bye.

Jeff (Host) (7:53)

Hey, Marlene.

Brandy (Caller) (7:55)

Hey.

Jeff (Host) (7:55)

Hey.

Javi (Co-host) (7:57)

When did you say you're never listening to the virtual ever again?

Brandy (Caller) (8:00)

I haven't said I never listened to it. I said I just started recently listening to it, and I've enjoyed it.

Jeff (Host) (8:06)

Oh, okay. Well, that's cool. Thank you. Give it time, because we'll do something that'll make you say, never again.

Brandy (Caller) (8:12)

I don't know. You're not. You're not. Not boring. You're very exciting to listen to. There's always something going on, and it's just exciting.

Jeff (Host) (8:18)

Well, that's our problem, because we're exciting and we're opinionated, and, you know, we're

Melissa (Co-host) (8:24)

only opinionated if it's the other opinion.

Brandy (Caller) (8:26)

Right. I mean, that's how to be opinionated. And if people can't, you know, stand the opinion, that means it's the truth and it hurts them, and truth hurts. So they might as well, you know, just get a grip and get over it.

Javi (Co-host) (8:35)

That's right.

Jeff (Host) (8:35)

Wow. I want. You know what, Marlene? I almost want to get your number, and if somebody ever calls us and says, never listen to you again, then I want you to talk to them. Yeah, because they probably still won't listen, but at least you'll put the in their place.

Brandy (Caller) (8:46)

All Right. I can do that.

Jeff (Host) (8:49)

Hey, Teresa, welcome to the show.

Brandy (Caller) (8:52)

Hey, good morning.

Jeff (Host) (8:53)

What's up?

Melissa (Co-host) (8:53)

Morning.

Brandy (Caller) (8:54)

I was calling because, I don't know if you guys remember, I had called to volunteer to take the lie detector.

Jeff (Host) (8:59)

Yes.

Brandy (Caller) (9:00)

It was voice activated. I was terminated from my job for porn, and you guys brought me on and said I had the lowest score but never allowed me to come back on to give where it was at. And I just wanted to call and say I listen again, because after that I didn't.

Jeff (Host) (9:15)

So you stopped listening after we proved you were a liar and now you're back.

Brandy (Caller) (9:20)

No. Well, no, you guys actually never let me come back on. You had me come on and say I had the lowest score, but you never had me come back on to show where it was telling me that I had lied.

Jeff (Host) (9:30)

Oh, why didn't we do that?

Brandy (Caller) (9:33)

I don't know.

Javi (Co-host) (9:34)

We always follow up on stories.

Brandy (Caller) (9:35)

A couple times, and my mom was re diagnosed with cancer, and she kept saying, you know, we'll do it the next time. We'll do it next time. But I just had so many other things going on. I just said, you know, I just forget it. But actually went, you know, we had a hearing and I won my case because they had no proof.

Caller Steve (9:49)

So.

Javi (Co-host) (9:50)

Wow.

Melissa (Co-host) (9:50)

Okay.

Jeff (Host) (9:51)

Congratulations for you. Well, thank you.

Javi (Co-host) (9:53)

Thanks for coming back.

Jeff (Host) (9:54)

Thank you for coming back.

Brandy (Caller) (9:54)

Yeah. I love you guys. Thank you.

Javi (Co-host) (9:56)

I'm surprised we follow up on a follow up on a follow up on a follow up.

Jeff (Host) (9:59)

Oh, yeah, we will drag it out. Yeah, we will. Hey, Katie, welcome to the show.

Brandy (Caller) (10:04)

Hey, how are y'? All?

Jeff (Host) (10:05)

What's up?

Brandy (Caller) (10:07)

You guys make some of the strangest noises, and I don't even think you're aware of it. Like, Bert constantly sucks air through his teeth. Do you guys know that?

Jeff (Host) (10:16)

Oh, come on.

Brandy (Caller) (10:16)

Don't do that.

Melissa (Co-host) (10:18)

We're gonna listen to.

Brandy (Caller) (10:19)

Yeah, give us the example.

Jeff (Host) (10:20)

What does it sound like? What does it sound like?

Brandy (Caller) (10:22)

He'll. He'll be like. Like in between a sentence and just breathe in really hard. It's uncomfortable to listen to. And one of you guys files your nails on the air. I know you do. I've never found my nails.

Jeff (Host) (10:36)

You know what? I can tell you what that is. That's not. Now filing. We have. There's a piece of equipment in here that they cannot legally remove from the studio that is related to the weather alerts.

Javi (Co-host) (10:49)

Weather alerts, Tornadoes, abducted children.

Jeff (Host) (10:53)

And it has to be in the studio because it prints out. It's a little printer urgent thing. But the printer is seriously, like, one of those old School stock tickers.

Caller Steve (11:01)

It is?

Brandy (Caller) (11:02)

Yeah. It sounds like somebody's filing their nails and I'm like, seriously? You're gonna scratch them all off?

Melissa (Co-host) (11:09)

We may be divas, but we're not that much of a diva. Well, anyway, Bert.

Brandy (Caller) (11:14)

Well, tell Bert to change the way he breathes. It's really annoying.

Jeff (Host) (11:18)

We'll pass it along to him. Thanks for calling, Katie.

Brandy (Caller) (11:22)

Bye.

Caller Steve (11:23)

Bye. Bye.

Melissa (Co-host) (11:23)

I'm glad you figured out what that was, because she wasn't gonna believe us when we say we. Don't follow us.

Jeff (Host) (11:26)

I've gotten emails, people. For whatever reason, Melissa, everybody thinks it's you.

Melissa (Co-host) (11:30)

And I'm following my nails.

Jeff (Host) (11:32)

I've got Miranda while it happens.

Melissa (Co-host) (11:35)

Are the lesbians in here falling her

Jeff (Host) (11:36)

nails the last time it happened?

Brandy (Caller) (11:39)

Diva.

Caller Steve (11:40)

Well, hello.

Jeff (Host) (11:41)

I was in. I was on, but wasn't paying attention. And like 30 minutes later, I clicked over to the Facebook screen and there were like six instant messages. And five of them were, please tell Melissa to stop filing her nails.

Melissa (Co-host) (11:54)

Are you serious? Well, you know what? I do believe in a well manicured hand. So.
