[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

I focused in on something that Jen Harvey said earlier this morning that I'm curious if all of us and you guys listening have also. And Jeff's not in studio today because last night, well, he was going to take the day off anyway, but he also said that last night I think AC DC was in town. All right, sold out. I mean that's what I'm talking about right here. You know, probably a great show last night. And Jeff was thinking, you know what, I've got a day to burn and AC DC is gonna be rockin out, rockin rockin roll. So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna get my drink on and I don't wanna get up at 3:15 in the morning, so I'm not gonna go in. And while Jeff might love acdc, Jen Hobby has had such a bad experience, not directly with the band, but she can never listen to them the same way again.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Because my first love, my first boyfriend's is like way back in high school became what we call on the Bird show is your Antichrist, where you break up and you get back together and it's just this tumultuous thing and they make you jealous and you love them and you hate them and the whole thing, right? Well he was in love with this band so he would listen to ACDC all the time. And so I just have this bad connection with acdc. Even though the music is great and everybody in the world loves it, I will always connect it to that guy and the horrible ending that relationship. You know what I'm saying? So it's just branded as like, ugh. Like, makes my skin crawl.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

So here's what I'm wondering. Have you guys been scarred so much? It doesn't have to necessarily be a band. It can be a hobby. Sports team. It could be a sports team. It could be a college that your ex was so into and forced down your throat so much, and the breakup was so bad that you absolutely can't enjoy whatever that thing is anymore. For Jan, it's AC DC here.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

For you guys, it could be anything. 404, 741Q100.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah.

There's.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Could be a movie.

[Co-host or Panelist]

It could be anything. Yeah, I. I probably just had one relationship in which I was, you know, that I regret being a part of, to be honest with you. And she was a huge fan of the Kansas Jayhawks, so anytime Kansas does well or whatever, just hate that team. So, sports team. Yeah, Kansas. I'm glad they're not in this conference because. Whatever.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

So mine is really. It's a. It's an entire country, really. Because I told you guys, I've mentioned Chandra before. To you guys. She was my dating Antichrist. And she was the girl that I dated for a year before I met Stacy. And it was an impossible relationship. Impossible. And she was just very fiery, and we argued all the time, and I hate her to this day, but she's from Guyana, and she's from a little town, or not a little town, a city in Guyana called Georgetown. So anytime I even hear the word Georgetown, and it doesn't even necessarily have to be the city in Guyana, it could be the University in Washington, D.C.

[Co-host or Panelist]

crazy, my skin crawls, man.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

I hate Georgetown, and I hate Guyana.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I mean, mine's really simple. Mine's the movie the Ringer. We used to watch it all the time, me and my Auntie Christ. So as funny as that movie is, as much as I'd love to, it's the one with Johnny Knoxville and they do the Special Olympics.

I don't think I saw that.

It's a really good movie, but I can't even watch it anymore. And I can't even laugh at the jokes because we watch it all the time, and it's just connected so badly, and I really want to watch it.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

I can't.

[Caller named Craig]

Hey, Erin.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Good morning. You're part of the Bird Show. Hi.

[Caller or Listener]

Good morning. My ex boyfriend used to force the University of Miami on me so bad that we would drive to Atlanta to go see games. And now whenever they're on tv, I refuse to watch.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

And how long ago was this relationship?

[Caller or Listener]

We dated for Nine years.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

And how long ago?

[Caller or Listener]

Probably we've been broken up for three years now.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Yeah. This is a stamp.

[Caller or Listener]

Drives me nuts.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

This is a connection stamp that will never, ever go away. Like, anytime she hears University of Miami for the next 30 years, she will always hate them.

[Co-host or Panelist]

She can't even see orange and green together.

Yeah. It just brings about bad memories. It just is a symbol of just bad times.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Hey, Diana. Good morning. You're part of the Burt Show. Hi.

[Caller or Listener]

Good morning, guys. I love your show.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Thank you.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Thank you.

[Caller or Listener]

I hate import cars. Like, the whole Fast and Furious thing. It drives me crazy. If I see one going down the road, I just cringe.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

And how bad was the breakup with the ex?

[Caller or Listener]

It was horrible.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

It was lies and a mess, and it's just awful. I've been away from him for four years, and I've been married for a year, and I still cannot stand to

[Co-host or Panelist]

see one of them.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Yeah. I really think that these stand the test of time, that it doesn't matter how long you're talking about, that you will always have this hatred.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Always. Good morning to Craig. How are you this morning?

[Caller named Craig]

Hey, good morning, guys.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Good morning.

[Caller named Craig]

I'm a musician. I've been in bands since I was 16. I had a high school sweetheart, and we used to play Extreme all the time. My band played it, we listened to it. It was our song. Anytime that comes on, it just kills me. And, you know, we broke up when I was 17. I'm 34 now. I don't think a day has gone by where I haven't think about her. I'm still in love a million times on MySpace and Facebook and all that stuff, and I can't never, ever find her, so.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

And how long ago was this relationship?

[Caller named Craig]

Gosh, I was 17 when we broke up, and I've been married twice and have a couple of kids, and every single day, even when my kids were born, I thought of her.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Oh, wow.

[Co-host or Panelist]

And you don't know where she is or anything.

[Caller named Craig]

I know that the last time I. I. The last time I heard, she was still in, you know, Plantation Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Florida area where I grew up, you know, But I heard her pretty bad when I was, you know, I was young and stupid and, you know, I chased her around and begged and everything for six months. She wouldn't have anything to do with me. And I ran off to the military and, you know, I never came back.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Maybe there's a reason the relationships that he's tried to move on to haven't

[Co-host or Panelist]

worked because this one Bert Is more than words.

[Caller named Craig]

Yeah, it's in my head. Horrible.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

This is it right here. This is their song. We gotta find this girl. We gotta find her.

[Co-host or Panelist]

These dudes had hair like Rapunzel.

[Caller or Listener]

Do you remember that?

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

It's really, really long.

[Caller named Craig]

For some reason, she. You know, we were, like, in love, you know? Yeah, but I. Like I said I did something stupid.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Well, I mean, you're 17 years old, so.

[Commercial Announcer]

I know.

[Caller named Craig]

And that's. You know, I've written her letters that I'm.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yes. And what was the name of your high school band? I'm just curious.

[Caller named Craig]

Hit and Run from a Def Leppard song?

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

You know, opening up for Extreme. No, no.

[Caller named Craig]

Anything but that.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Anything but that.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

All right, Craig, let me put you on hold. We want to get your info, and we'll give you a call and we'll try to track her down for you after the new year.

[Caller named Craig]

Absolutely.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Okay. Hold on. I always got Extreme. And let me see if I can find this other song.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I've got another one to add to the whole ex boyfriend thing. Okay, you ready for it?

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Go for it.

[Co-host or Panelist]

It's this particular gym. Can I. Can I say the name of a gym?

[Redfin Advertiser]

If I.

[Co-host or Panelist]

If I drive by in LA Fitness, I cringe and I can't look at it. Like, I hate driving by LA Fitnesses because that's all he did all the time, was go to the gym. Go to the gym. Talk about the gym. This is about the gym. It's about the gym, meeting this girl at the gym, seeing my friends at the gym, blah, blah, blah. The gym, LA Fitness this, LA Fitness that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So if I even see an LA Fitness, I just want to vomit because I'm so tired of the gym.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

I always used to get this man Extreme confused with this one. Mr. Big.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Oh, Mr. Big. Maybe that's what I was thinking of. The long hair.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

He had, like, a schnoz like mine. He looked like a really hip Kenny G. He looked like a hip Kenny

[Co-host or Panelist]

G. I don't know this song.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Old school.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I was in, like, middle school, so you were in the womb.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Oh, God.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Y' all shut up.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Good morning, Gina. You're on Q100. Hi. Yeah, hi.

[Caller or Listener]

My husband is the ex husband. Antichrist.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Okay.

[Caller or Listener]

And every time I hear Ozzy Osbourne talk, sing or even look at him, I want to literally pull my eyelashes out.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Oh, damn.

[Co-host or Panelist]

God, that would hurt. I'm so mad right now. Oh, my God.

[Caller or Listener]

I mean, this guy was psycho.

[Host (possibly named Sharia)]

Psycho.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Where are your eyelashes?

We're gonna add that to our list.

[Caller or Listener]

I did. I wanna pull my ey. I'm serious.
