Episode Overview

On this lively Bert Show episode, the cast opens the phone lines for a candid conversation about "stepping into psycho": those moments when heartbroken listeners feel compelled to take dramatic revenge against the people who wronged them in love. Two callers, Maggie and Sue, share their plans to expose infidelity and confront "the other woman" (and her husband), dissecting whether their schemes are justified, self-sabotaging, or simply cathartic.

Tone and Takeaways

The Bert Show brings its trademark mix of empathy, humor, and playful devil’s advocacy to the drama of heartbreak and revenge. The team encourages listeners to pause and consider: Is the urge to publicly “out” a cheater about justice, closure, or simply not going quietly? While the callers’ schemes are met with both tactical support and cautionary skepticism, the consensus is that emotional pain can spark risky—and memorable—acts. As always, the hosts promise follow-ups, leaving the audience in suspense about who’ll follow through and what carnage, if any, will ensue.

[Host]

All right, we got one call here. Someone that wants to be brutally honest about stepping into psycho. And we're gonna put Maggie on the voice disguiser. Hey, Maggie.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Hey. How's it going?

[Host]

Good, how are you?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

I'm good.

[Host]

Okay, do you understand what like the definition of stepping into psycho is?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah.

[Host]

You tell us what it is then.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Okay, so I just was recently dumped by my boyfriend because he was with another woman and so he dumped me for this other woman. And so now I've kind of become a little obsessed with her and like checking her out online and googling her and Facebooking her and all that.

Followed her on Twitter.

And she is actually married and is going to be at a restaurant with her husband tonight. And I'm going to.

Oh, boy.

[Host]

Wow. Wow. How did you find out where she was going to dinner and all that?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

She always posts where she's going and what she's doing, so.

[Wendy]

Does she post it on Twitter?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah.

[Host]

So you're gonna walk into the restaurant while she's there with her husband. You're gonna say, hi, my name is Maggie, and

[Maggie / Caller 1]

hey, you look so familiar.

Don't I know you? Aren't you dating now? I'll say my ex boyfriend's name.

[H]

Wow, nice.

[Wendy]

But what happens if she denies it? You got to come in there with

[H]

some sort of proof, which she will. She'll go, what? No, I don't know that name. I don't know. Bert Weiss, whatever, blah, blah.

[Host]

Yeah, that's a great point. Are you bringing in some proof?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

I don't know that I really have proof, but I'm definitely gonna maker.

[I]

I mean, if you're stepping into psycho, it's got to be a bigger than you know, presentation than that sentence.

[Host]

You're not embracing, you're crazy.

[J]

Why should she believe you? Embrace you crazy or why would he believe you? I guess her husband.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Well, we do have a mutual friend, so, I mean, we can always call her on the phone.

[Host]

This may backfire on you here because you really don't have proof. And I've said this before, that if somebody told me that my wife was cheating on me, I'd need to see it because I wouldn't believe it. So I need to see it in my own eyes.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah, well, I don't know. We'll see.

[Wendy]

Are there any, like, Facebook message exchanges, Twitter exchanges between her and your ex boyfriend?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah, I mean, he would be able to see that. Her husband would, if he. If he, you know, decided he wanted to look into it. Yeah.

[Wendy]

Why don't you print those out and bring those with you?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Oh, yeah, I could do that. I could do that.

[Host]

See, Wendy's got a plan for you.

[Wendy]

I'm helping you to help you get crazy.

[J]

He will help you step in the side.

[H]

Listen, we want to have you back out on Monday, and it needs to be a good story. So listen to Wendy.

[J]

Okay?

[H]

Listen to the sage advice of one Wendy.

[Host]

Is this a hoity toity restaurant or is this just kind of a, you know, chilling place or what?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

It's a little bit like. It's like she posted that it's her date night, so they're going on a date.

[I]

I love that.

[Wendy]

I need to be. I need to step Into Psycho. Because I think you need to buy both of them drinks and attach the Facebook messages or Twitter posts to the drink and just, like, stay afar and just watch the action happen.

[Host]

Where is this? Where is this coming from?

[Wendy]

I don't know.

[I]

It's called the XX chromosome, honey. That's what it's called. She is a layer.

[Wendy]

I just came up with that.

[I]

It's just.

[Wendy]

I guess I need to. I need to go to therapy and look into this.

[Host]

You found out today that you have a superpower you never knew before, and you've just unleashed it.

[Wendy]

And I'm just nuts that.

[Host]

If you need help stepping in a psycho, Wendy can be your co pilot.

[I]

I really. I always wonder why the government thinks men are the better planners and the strategy guys when it comes to military and spies. Honey, hire women. We're much better at this.

[Host]

She didn't have a good plan. I mean, Wendy's fine, but she. Maggie, didn't have a good one coming in here.

[J]

I wanted to ask Maggie if she has a plan on how to get out, because I think stepping into Psycho, you always have the plan on how you're going to get in. But what's going to be your grand exit?

[Host]

Exit strategy?

[J]

You know,

[Maggie / Caller 1]

I don't know. Maybe a drink in the face.

[Host]

I'm not sure that's too much of a cliche. It'll never happen. But it isn't.

[J]

It is an ending, and then you walk out.

[H]

But then.

[J]

But you don't want to just tell them and then be standing there like, yeah. So then that's it.

[I]

Yep, here I am.

[J]

And now I'm just standing at a restaurant.

[H]

I think the drink. I think you just.

[J]

Yeah.

[H]

Go with one honest thing. So you go up to the woman and you're like, hey, are you. You know, whatever. Hey, Wendy, are you. Aren't you dating Bert Weiss?

[Wendy]

But I want to say no.

[H]

Okay, so say no. No, I'm pretty sure you are, because Bert is my ex boyfriend. Don't save that. Send. I'm pretty sure that you are. And I'm pretty sure that these Facebook messages prove it. And I'm pretty sure that's probably not gonna be cool with your husband.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Bye.

[H]

Bye.

[Wendy]

Oh, that's perfect.

[H]

Yeah, it is.

[Host]

I think you're looking at this from the wrong angle, Maggie. You should feel lucky that based on what we've seen with, like, Tiger woods and Jesse James and all, the fact that he's only cheated with one woman is really not a.

[I]

How many men. It's not even a big deal anymore. To their girlfriends. It was just one. I mean look, it could be much worse.

[Host]

Why are you overreacting?

[H]

He didn't cheat.

[I]

What are you being crazy?

[H]

He broke up with her, right, for this other woman? Or did he cheat on you with her cheating?

[Host]

Hey Dane. Good Morning. You're on Q100.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Hey, I had a suggestion. Why don't she actually call the ex boyfriend and suggest they go to dinner as friends at the same restaurant?

[Host]

Oh, that would be.

[H]

Now you're talking.

[Host]

That's another level right there. Very nicely played, Dane.

[I]

But the boyfriend knows he's going to be there. I mean, or she's gonna be there because if she's sitting on Twitter, the boyfriend who she's in a relationship knows where she's gonna be tonight.

[H]

Melissa, it's a good point.

[I]

Say that's why it was not a good suggestion from a guy.

[Host]

All right Maggie, let me put you on hold and we'll talk to you Monday morning around same time, okay?

[H]

Oh Bert, that's a good idea.

[J]

Stealthy bird.

[Host]

Dude, did my painkillers just kick in on you?

[J]

No, Friday just kicked in.

[H]

Yeah, Friday it's gonna be 80 all weekend.

[Host]

This is Sue. She knows she's stepping in a psycho this weekend. Good morning Sue. You are on the voice disg

[Maggie / Caller 1]

this weekend. Well, this guy, I was dating him for a year and he was dating his ex girlfriend at the same time and he got engaged to her while we were still dating and broke up with me every Christmas and they're getting married this weekend. And so I have all the proof that he cheated on her. And so we're gonna put it all in an envelope and right after they get married one of my friends is gonna deliver it to her and so that she's married to him. Cause I'd rather her get married and see what a loser he is after they're married.

[Host]

Are you making this up? Are you serious?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

No, I'm dead serious.

[J]

Why don't you deliver it rather than your friend?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Well, because if he sees me, I mean I'm going to be there but I like she knows who I am.

[I]

You're going to be there?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah, like I'm going to be with her. I'm going to drive over there with her. But she knows who I am. Like because he's cheated on her before with me.

[J]

Okay?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

She just stays with him and she's stupid so.

[J]

Well, if she knows that already and she stays with him, then what? Why is this gonna be shocking?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Well she. He told her that I'm the psycho and I'm making it all up and everything. And she just, like, believed him.

[I]

And so, yeah, delivering the top secret envelope is not going to, you know, prove differently, I don't think.

[Host]

Well, she will prove that she's psycho in a different way, but she'll at least be correct. I mean, she'll at least say, look, I'm not nutty in that way. This really did happen. But God just seems.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Should I deliver it myself? Would that make it better?

[Host]

That's the gutsy way to do it.

[H]

You got to be careful, though, because remember, you said a few minutes ago, you're not the psycho one, so you don't want to be portrayed as psycho. When you deliver an envelope to a woman who just got married about.

[Host]

She knows she's stepping into psycho. That's why she called.

[I]

How is your friend going to get to her?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Well, we know the.

What?

Like, we have mutual friends. Like, he went on vacation with me while he was dating her, and his guy friends knew that they were dating. Like, they were in a Facebook relationship together, and he was secretly dating me and telling me we were gonna get back together and stuff. And so I had, like, all the hotel bills from all the times, like, he went on vacation with me, and his name, he paid for it.

[Host]

Wow.

[I]

But that didn't. That didn't answer how. How your friend's gonna get to her.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Like, after she's married, she's invited to the wedding.

[Host]

Oh, really?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah.

[I]

So you're saying at the reception is when she plans to do this?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Yeah.

[Host]

Okay. Wow. Yeah, she said after the wedding. Wow, that's gonna be nasty. That's really nasty. But you're like, you're 100% confident you're gonna do it, because I think we've talked to people before that this sounds like a great idea on Friday.

[I]

Right.

[Host]

But then you're like, ah, forget it over the weekend, I'll just let it go. But do you have. You have everything in a folder? You have it in the folder ready to go right now.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

So why I'm ready to go? I had it ready to go for about two months because my mom actually suggested doing it and said, I'm gonna do it.

[H]

Awesome.

[I]

That's how you learn psychos from your mama.

[J]

Yeah. I just don't understand why you're so mad at her instead of him. Why you wanna hurt her?

[Maggie / Caller 1]

I'm not mad at her, but he. I was dating someone and he came to me and said he wanted to get back together while he still had a girlfriend. So I feel like I Wanna ruin his relationship like he ruined one of my good because I was stupid enough

to fall for it.

[Host]

Rebecca here has a suggestion for you. Good morning, Rebecca. You are on Q100.

[Rebecca]

Hi. My suggestion is instead of delivering the envelope to the bride, deliver the envelope to her mother.

[H]

The bride's mother.

[Rebecca]

Yeah, because obviously the bride, if she's saying she's, you know, she knows or she's suspected. You're right, it's not going to be a shock. But if you deliver it to the mother in law, that's not going to go over very well.

[Host]

Rebecca, where is this evil coming from?

[J]

This is actually really good suggestion.

[I]

It is smart, but I would, I would deliver it to the mother before the wedding.

[H]

Right before the wedding.

[I]

Right before the wedding.

[H]

Right before the wedding?

[I]

Yes, right before the wedding. When she can do something about it.

[H]

And what about.

[Host]

Yeah, that's good. I feel bad for her.

[Wendy]

It's like a movie.

[Host]

Well, sue, let's check back with you on Monday morning to see if you really did it. Okay. And what the repercussions were if you actually did it. Okay, Okay. I don't want to say have a good weekend because you're about to ruin somebody's wedding. So I guess we'll just check back with you on Monday. Okay. All right. Don't go anywhere. I want to put you on hold. We'll get your phone number.

[Maggie / Caller 1]

Okay.

[Host]

Hold on. E e. Ouch. Ew.

[J]

For some reason, I don't think she's gonna follow through with it.

[Host]

I think in your head it sounds like a great plan. You even may put the folder together. But then when it comes to execution time, you're like, I just can't do this.

[I]

I'm just laughing because most people right now trying to do their last minute taxes and getting receipts and their envelopes to take to their accountant and she's doing all these receipts and hotel receipts for his boyfriend.

[H]

What if she brought the wrong envelope? They open it up and it's like, what is this? You made a Don donation to the Salvation Army? Who cares? Get it?
