The Bert Show: Full Show PT 2 [Vault] – November 26, 2025

Main Theme/Purpose

In this episode, the Bert Show cast (led by Bert and featuring Kristin, Abby, Cassie, Tommy, and more) revisits the dramatic saga of Melody—a listener convinced she’s uncovered evidence of her boyfriend’s infidelity after finding duplicate Christmas gifts hidden in his home. The show chronicles Melody’s emotional rollercoaster as she investigates, confronts her boyfriend, and grapples with both her own suspicions and the no-nonsense feedback from callers and the cast.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Recap: Melody’s Dilemma

• Setting the Stage (01:34): Melody, who’s been with her boyfriend for two years, found two of every gift (tennis bracelets, pajamas, trip certificates) hidden at her boyfriend’s place. Since he splits time between Atlanta and Orlando, and they had agreed to a “three gift” Christmas, she suspects infidelity.
• Melody’s Concerns:
  • She’s been snooping to find out what he’s spending.
  • The duplicate presents imply he might be giving another woman (possibly in Orlando) identical gifts.

Quote:
“She found two of everything… Her boyfriend also works in Orlando, so commutes. He has a place in Orlando and a place in Atlanta. And so she’s feeling like there’s probably another woman in Orlando.” — [A, 01:34]

2. New Developments: The Gifts Disappear

• Melody Investigates Further (03:00):
  • Upon returning to her boyfriend’s house, all the gifts have disappeared from where she found them.
  • Her boyfriend is in Orlando at the time, so someone else must have moved the gifts.

Quote:
“I go and the presents were all in this trunk in his bedroom. And when I'm there last night, they're gone.” — Melody, [D, 04:15]

3. Theories & Listener Opinions

• Friends and Family or the Other Woman?
  • The cast and callers discuss who could have moved the gifts: his sister, a friend, the other woman, or even Melody herself being “the other woman.”
  • Discussion ensues on plausible (and implausible) explanations, such as holding gifts for a friend’s girlfriend, or simply hiding gifts from a snooping partner.

Quote:
“Guys generally are stupid... So do guys usually hide gifts at somebody else's house?” — [H, 10:18]
“I don’t think he’s fooling around on her. I think she’s really making a big mistake if she assumes that he is.” — Kim (Caller), [B, 09:05]

4. Emotional Rollercoaster: Confront or Keep Digging?

• Criticism Intensifies (11:24):
  • Melody faces harsh feedback, being called “a silly, stupid little girl” by one caller.
  • The show debates whether Melody is overreacting, whether she’s justified, and the wisdom of confronting her boyfriend versus waiting for more evidence.

Quote:
“You need to open up your eyes and become a woman and realize that you’re definitely the other woman and move on with your life.” — Ashley, Caller [F, 32:07]

5. Resolution: The Confrontation and Reveal

• Melody Talks to Boyfriend (20:01):

  • Melody chooses the direct approach. She confronts her boyfriend with her suspicions and the radio drama.
  • Her boyfriend is genuinely confused, claims no knowledge of the gifts or the radio show, and suggests calling his old roommate Jason—who still has a key.

• Jason’s Explanation:

  • Jason admits to hiding gifts for his own girlfriends (plural) at Melody’s boyfriend’s house.
  • The trips and tennis bracelets were not for Melody or anyone her boyfriend knows—case closed (at least according to Melody).

Quote:
“He was stashing them at the house, at my boyfriend’s house, because he’s got two girls and that way neither of them would find out.” — Melody, [D, 21:56]

6. Skepticism and Open Questions

• Cast & Listeners Remain Dubious:
  • Multiple cast members and callers express doubt about the plausibility of Jason’s explanation.
  • They find it odd that someone would hide gifts in a trunk in a bedroom instead of a more neutral space like a garage or closet, especially without informing the homeowner.
  • Some argue Melody is accepting any explanation because she wants to believe her boyfriend is innocent.

Quote:
“Who has an old, old roommate that still has a key to their apartment, that just has access to their apartment? ...I think she's the other, other woman because she said in the beginning they only see each other maybe once a week.” — Listener (Jody), [G, 25:47]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments (with Timestamps)

• Melody’s Panic:

  “She is a silly, stupid little girl.” — Stephanie, Caller, [F], 11:45

• Cast, on hiding gifts:
  “If you keep snooping, I guarantee you gonna keep finding results that you don’t like.” — Omari, Caller, [G], 14:05

• Resolution Dialogue:
  “Once we got back to his house, I just asked him like, point blank, like, what’s going on?...And he honestly had no clue what I was talking about. So we decided…an old roommate of his, this guy Jason, did have a key.” — Melody, [D], 20:16–21:00

• Final Scepticism:
  “Would you go so far as to go into my bedroom and put it in a trunk in my bedroom?...Answer is no.” — [H], 24:02

• “You are definitely the other woman” segment—passionate caller critique: “Just because you’ve been with him for two years does not mean he still can’t go out and cheat on you. But what it is, is you're so worried about making this relationship work that you will believe anything and everything that he says. And that's your problem.” — Ashley, Caller, [F], 32:00
