The Bert Show

Furman Sanders is here. What's going on, Furman?

Good morning, Atlanta.

How you doing, dude? This is quite a compliment right here, man. I mean, Cosmo Magazine names, what, 51 guys every year as the hottest bachelors in the country. And this year, you got the call, dude. There you are, in Cosmo. Yep. That's pretty cool. It's really cool.

That's bragging rights right there.

I know all your friends are giving you crap, but you got bragging rights right there, dude.

Yeah, I definitely caught a little bit of crap for it, but at the same time is pretty funny. It is an awesome achievement, for sure. Who nominated you? My sister, one of my four sisters, actually. my second oldest sister Rita by the way thank you if you're listening Rita Rita, nominated me. Didn't tell me about it. And actually, it was on my lunch break. And I had a phone call from Cosmopolitan magazine telling me and congratulating me that I won Georgia's hottest bachelor. And I was just kind of like, yeah, I'm like waiting for the punchline here. Where's it? You want me to send you $200? I mean, what, you know? You really thought somebody was joking yet? Yeah, so I was just like, yeah, let me call you back.

And so the girl, I guess, was kind of stunned about that. So she called my sister, and then my sister called me. It was like, Furman, that's awesome. I was like, hold on. You know, tell me what's going on. I mean, you gotta let me know about these things, you know, ahead of time.

So then right after what?

They come down to Georgia and take photographs, or do you go to New York? Or what's happened since you were named this hottest bachelor in Georgia thing? First, I went to New York, flew me to New York, and we went to the Hamptons, and we did a photo shoot in the Hamptons, which was awesome. It was awesome, yeah. And. And it was all day long, you know, 12 hours of getting treated like a piece of meat, but it was cool. Definitely great-A meat, right? And, you know, we did a photo shoot there, and I came back and actually finished up a work, did close out. I worked month-a-month-month sales, so I had to be back at work to close a month out strong.

And then they flew us back out to New York in October for the release of the magazine,

where we did like appearances on the Today Show. We went to Willamina Modeling Agencies.

I actually had a red carpet event for us at this club, this nightclub in Atlanta. I mean, I'm sorry, New York called the Greenhouse.

And so we got to walk the red carpet.

It was invite only, which is pretty cool, because whenever we walked to stage individually,

there's like 200 hot screaming chicks there.

You're loving it.

That's awesome.

Yeah, this is ragging rights right here, for sure.

And especially since his sister's the one that did the application, you know?

You think that raises the stakes?

Yes, because I think that if he had done it himself, he'd be getting more crap for that.
