Details of the Latest Investigation
-
The team recently explored a historic law office in Marietta, GA, where the tenants found a tombstone—used for decades as… a trash storage pad.
- “It was a tombstone. And it had been there for, like, 30 years before they realized this.” – Erin [05:12]
- “They’ve been putting the trash on it.” – Dreama [05:19]
-
Residents report doors opening, footsteps only entering, and an object (a globe) flung across the room.
- “The globe was all the way across the room, and nobody was in there... had to have been, like, thrown.” – Erin [05:46]
EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) Audio Clips Presented
Clip 1: “Help!”
[07:03]

Clip 2: “Want to go with me?”
[09:02]

Clip 3: “Should I give it to you?”
[12:04]
- Captured after psychic info that the spirit was waiting for something; the hosts strain to hear, agreeing on creepy vibes.

SEGMENT 2: Just Curious – The Nosy Neighbor Mystery
[16:08–25:02]
The Set-Up
- Show explains “Just Curious”—listeners bring odd scenarios, and the hosts investigate what others are too shy to ask.
- This episode: Listener Erin calls about a neighbor who receives a non-husband male visitor at the exact same time, 2–3 times a week; rumors swirl—possibly an affair or something even wilder.
The Reveal
- Jason (the supposed “strange man”) calls in with an elegantly-written email, clearing up the confusion:
- “Not to be a buzzkill, but the strange man... is actually her husband.” – Jason [20:35]
- After hearing their story on air, he and his wife introduced themselves to “nosey Erin” to resolve it in person!
Notable Moments
- Jason’s deadpan recounting and the team’s laughter at how harmless the situation really was.
- “We think it’s hysterical.” – Jason, on the rumor that his wife is a masseuse/prostitute [23:05]
- “She just had this totally kind of, like, dumbfounded look. I don’t think she ever expected that to happen.” – Jason [23:13]
- Commentary on how neighborhood gossip spirals when facts are absent.
SEGMENT 3: Love Lost and Found – The Valet Called Ryan
[25:45–37:06]
The Story
- Listener Montez lost her nerve after a cute valet (Ryan) helped her out of a car breakdown in Buckhead on Father’s Day.
- “He told me he was a starving artist, which is me. I’m the same thing. I’m a dancer...” – Montez [27:57]
- The team debates whether this qualifies as “lost and found” since she knows exactly where to find him but is too shy to go back.
Audience and Cast Reaction
- Intern Michelle is dispatched to the valet stand live on air to try to connect with Ryan and play Cinder-fella.
- “We know where he is!” – Bert [32:06]
- Debates about love, laziness, shyness, and destiny ensue in classic Bert Show fashion. Listeners call in to confirm the identity/location of Ryan and encourage Montez to contact him herself.
Fun Quotes
- “It’s a love lost and lazy!” – Chelsea [30:35]

[37:34–46:24]
Segment Summary
- Bert recounts a viral video: a guy’s girlfriend unravels via email over two weeks, not knowing he’s out of the country with no phone access.
