Summary

This Bert Show episode transforms a dated tabloid list into interactive comedy gold. The team and listeners speculate, joke, and dissect what it meant to be "unsexy" in 2010—blending nostalgia, gossip, and wit. Scandal, fame, and quirks all play into rankings, while the segment highlights just how arbitrary (and entertaining) public opinion can be. The Top 10 reads like a roster of headlines from the year's biggest celebrity and political stories, each discussed with characteristic Bert Show sharpness and humor.

Useful for: Anyone wanting a dose of pop culture fun, retro news, or a reminder of how quickly reputations change—and just how little it matters if you make someone else’s “unsexy” list.

[Jeff]

The Birch show all right, I could tell you guys who is in the top 10 of the unsexiest men of the year list.

[Caller 1]

I saw this.

[Jeff]

Or you guys can call up and try to guess which I think is way more fun in the top 10.

[Caller 2]

Is this of all time or is this.

[Jeff]

I'm sorry, just this year.

[Caller 2]

Okay? Just this year. Okay.

[Jeff]

404-741-Q100. If you haven't seen the list yet, give us a call. Take a guess who you think is unsexy dudes that would be unsexy in the top 10 this year. And I'll tell you if they're in the top 10 or not.

[Caller 2]

It's like movie and TV both and

[Jeff]

yeah, it's sort of all over the place.

[Caller 2]

It could be politics.

[Jeff]

It can be. If they are known in in any realm, then they would qualify for this list. Have you seen it yet, Wendy?

[Caller 3]

I have not seen the list.

[Caller 4]

What about didn't Paul Rubens Pee Wee Herman have a comeback this year?

[Jeff]

Pee Wee Herman is not in the top 10.

[Caller 2]

Only in your heart, Jeff. Bill Gates.

[Jeff]

Bill Gates is not in the top 10.

[Caller 4]

I'm trying to think this year he's the unsexy. Right.

[Caller 3]

Zach Galifianakis.

[Jeff]

Not in the top 10. I don't even think he was in the top hundred, to be honest with you.

[Caller 4]

Prince Charles.

[Caller 3]

Oh, that would have been a.

[Jeff]

That is not a sexy man.

[Caller 1]

Is David Letterman on the list anywhere?

[Jeff]

Letterman is on the list. Not in the top 10. But Letterman came in at number 34. Okay, let me give you sort of a sense on who might be on the list. All right, so guys like Shaun White. Redheaded dude.

[Caller 1]

You mean the girl?

[Jeff]

The guy that.

[Caller 4]

You mean that redheaded girl?

[Caller 1]

The redheaded snowboarding.

[Caller 2]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jeff]

The Carrot Top dude.

[Caller 2]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

He made the top hundred. Not in the top ten. Rush Limbaugh. Oh, not a very sexy guy.

[Caller 2]

No.

[Jeff]

He came in at number 80. This one. I was really surprised by Robert Pattinson.

[Caller 2]

Really?

[Jeff]

Really was 74 on the list.

[Caller 3]

Okay, well, it's like our men's madness. It's just shocking.

[Jeff]

Angela, good morning. Take a shot at this. Who made the top 10 unsexiest guys?

[Caller 5]

Brad Pitt.

[Caller 4]

Brad.

[Caller 2]

Brad Pitt. Is that beard. Yeah.

[Caller 5]

With that beard. I mean, I really don't like it.

[Caller 3]

Yeah, he's probably doing a movie.

[Jeff]

So Brad Pitt. Clean shaven, sexy, with a beard. Unsexy.

[Caller 5]

Yes. The beard is so unsexy now. I don't even like it no more.

[Caller 2]

It's like, it's like stuck on the mountain. Beard. Not like.

[Caller 5]

I mean, it's. Yeah, it's so granddad, you know, I

[Jeff]

think when you've been that good looking your whole life, and I think people dismiss your talents because you're that good looking. I think really pretty people try to ugly themselves up to gain credibility.

[Caller 2]

It just doesn't work. How are you poor pretty people?

[Jeff]

You remember like, Tori Amos, how she was really, really pretty, but she used to try to ugly herself up? She was pretty. You can't do that. Brad Pitt's same way. Trying to grow a beard. Try. I dare you to try to be ugly.

[Caller 1]

Charlize Theron. Remember, she did it for Monster.

[Caller 2]

Monster.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Brad Pitt is not on the list. Good morning, Lynn. You are on Q100. Hello. Hi, unsexy list. Who's on it?

[Caller 5]

Kanye West.

[Jeff]

Kanye west did not land in the top 10, but he is in the top hundred.

[Caller 3]

Really?

[Jeff]

Yep. I think it's attitude.

[Caller 2]

I'm trying to think because, like.

[Jeff]

But Whoopi Goldberg, he did not make it. Good morning, Tyler. You're on Q100.

[Caller 5]

Tiger Woods.

[Jeff]

Tiger woods is the number one unsexiest. Man. Booyah.

[Caller 2]

Doesn't matter what competition it is, as

[Caller 1]

long as you win.

[Caller 2]

How's you win?

[Caller 3]

Good for you.

[Caller 2]

You are the champion of this list today.

[Jeff]

You hear me on the radio this morning, man.

[Caller 4]

Totally guessed it.

[Jeff]

I didn't win anything, but I got it right. Yeah. Tiger woods is number one on the list, according to this. This website. And we will link over to it to q100atlanta.com so is.

[Caller 2]

So, I mean, okay, like, would John Edwards make it? Because he's normally attractive, but he's kind of been doing bad things.

[Jeff]

John Edwards is number three on the list. Sexiest man.

[Caller 1]

Is Jesse James on it, or did he come out too late?

[Jeff]

If he is, he is number six.

[Caller 3]

Really? Yep.

[Jeff]

Number six. So now you're getting a reoccurring theme here. Lil Wayne came in at 17. Ryan Seacrest came in at 28.

[Caller 3]

Really?

[Jeff]

Is that because, like, he's almost like. Like, too, like, almost feminine, like, too polished?

[Caller 2]

I don't know.

[Caller 1]

He's a little perfect.

[Caller 3]

There's nothing sexy about that, though.

[Caller 4]

That's such a rude insult, Jen.

[Jeff]

Like, too what?

[Caller 4]

Just a little too perfect. I hate it when people say that to me.

[McDonald's Sponsor]

So rude.

[Jeff]

I think people know that, and that's why they don't say that.

[Caller 2]

He would hate it if somebody said that to him.

[Caller 3]

What about that Mark Sanford guy? Because I'm trying to think of people

[Caller 2]

who cheated on their wives.

[Jeff]

Mark Sanford is number nine on the list.

[Caller 2]

Okay, so that's what this is about. Okay, so that's what it's about.

[Jeff]

Shelly, good morning.

[Caller 5]

Good morning. How about Ron Blagojevich?

[Jeff]

He is not in the top 10, but I do believe he's in the top hundred.

[Caller 5]

Okay.

[Jeff]

All right. Thank you. Justin Bieber made the list.

[Caller 4]

No, he didn't.

[Caller 3]

He did.

[Jeff]

Number 100.

[Caller 1]

Well, that's actually a good thing for him because he's 15.

[Caller 3]

Yes, I agree, but the Bieber fans are gonna be all over that on Twitter today.

[Jeff]

Jeremy Piven is on the list at 92.

[Caller 1]

That's funny.

[Jeff]

Gary Coleman, number 71.

[Caller 2]

Yeah. Bless his heart.

[Jeff]

Jon Gosselin, 53.

[Caller 3]

Oh, I didn't think of that one.

[Jeff]

Levi Johnston, unsexiest list. Number 26. Here is your top 10.

[Caller 5]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Number 10, the Pope.

[Caller 4]

What's up, Benedict?

[Jeff]

Two words, generally that aren't together in the same sentence.

[Caller 2]

Sexy and pope.

[Caller 4]

You think somebody has to bring that and tell him to that. Tell that to him in his briefing.

[Caller 2]

John Paul was. Yeah. Was much more handsome than bitter.

[Jeff]

Your father. There's some bad news back Here. About today. He's expecting the worst. You're on the unsexiest side.

[Caller 2]

You look a little like the emperor from Star Wars. Wars.

[Jeff]

If that's the worst. If that's the worst the Pope hears today, he's going to be okay.

[Caller 2]

And yes, I'm not Catholic, by the way.

[Caller 4]

Happy Good Friday, everyone.

[Jeff]

Jay Leno is number eight on the list. Glenn Beck, seven. Unsexiest man.

[Caller 2]

He's pasty.

[Jeff]

John Mayer came in number five.

[Caller 1]

Oh, yeah, because of that whole Playboy interview.

[Jeff]

Become Lex.

[Caller 1]

Everybody's over him.

[Caller 4]

Who was six again?

[Jeff]

Six was Jesse James. Okay, then John Mayer. Kevin Smith comes in at number four.

[Caller 2]

Aw, the whole airline thing.

[Caller 1]

Yeah, he's no longer Jay and Silent Bob. He is too fat to fly guy.

[Jeff]

Right. It's changed. His brand has changed. Aw. Number three, like you said, was John Edwards. Number two was Mike the Situation. Sorrentino. I'm sexiest. Okay, sorry, sorry. And number one is Tiger Woods.

[Caller 3]

Woods?

[Caller 2]

Yeah.

[Caller 3]

How is that even possible? The Situation. I got your back. You should not even be on that list.

[Jeff]

Number two on the unsexiest list.

[Caller 3]

You know what? He's on my sexy list.

[Jeff]

That's all that matters.

[Caller 3]
