In this featured story, Melissa Carter recounts an unexpected tarot reading from an LA party psychic—dubbed "the TNT Psychic"—and the hosts humorously dissect the accuracy, vagueness, and entertainment value of her predictions.

1. The "Bert Show Psychoff" Concept

• Premise: Each cast member visits different psychics to see who gives the most accurate summer predictions.
• Goal: At the end of summer, compare outcomes to determine the best psychic.
• Bert: “They should all be hitting at 100% because this is what they do, right? They see it.” (03:00)

2. Melissa’s Psychic Encounter

• Setting: An LA industry party for TNT’s "Hawthorne," complete with a themed, scrub-clad crowd and a corner psychic.
• Tarot Reading Details:
  • Past: “In the past, somebody has offered you… a job.”
    • Hosts mock the vagueness: “That right there applies to anyone in any circumstance.” – Co-host 1 (05:40)
  • Present: “You are thinking… you’re going with the flow right now.”
    • Bert jokes: “This was an actress that TNT hired and has zero psychic history at all.” (06:17)

    • Bert: “At some point, you will have heartache at work.” (08:15)

    • Melissa: “That could mean, like, my job.” (10:03)
    • Bert: “Yeah, I mean, like, you move on from this and it’s like The Melissa Carter Show.” (10:04)

3. Cast’s Scepticism and Satire

• The hosts repeatedly poke fun at the generality of the predictions.
• Condensed Reading:
  • Co-host 1 jokingly summarizes the psychic’s points: “Somebody will offer you a job someday. In the past, they’ve offered you a job. Now you’ve got it, you’re going with the flow. Eventually you’re gonna lose it. Thanks for coming out.” (08:32)
• Exchanges riff on familiar psychic clichés, with jabs about the need for specificity.

4. Comic Relief and Inside Jokes

  • “You will prevail… you become a queen—you’re my queen of that job.” – Psychic Reader (09:45)
    • Bert: “Well, she’s demanded that for a long time.” (10:13)
• Mysterious Sound:
  • An odd noise prompts banter:
    • Bert: “Is that a spirit?... Call the Atlanta Ghost Hunters.” (10:28–10:36)
    • Co-host 1: “Is that Jada Pinkett Smith?” (10:39)

5. Talk of "Nines" in Tarot Reading

• Psychic Reader: “Are nines significant to her…? Nines—it just means a lot of that. So she’s had plenty of money and plenty of love.” (11:17–11:28)
• Bert quips: “It’s the number that is wedged between 8 and 10.” (11:29)

6. Reflections and Outcome

• Melissa muses: “She didn’t specify just to the summer, so I have a feeling that she may not win this psychoff.” (11:39)
• Bert bluntly sums up: “She failed.” (11:49)

Visit borehurst.com the first show and we all decided weeks ago, you know, we all from time to time would be driving around Roswell Road. You're down midtown and you see these psychics that look like they've converted their homes into their little psychic offices and stuff.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah, they just, I think if you have a can of paint and a blank board, just hammer it out in

[Melissa Carter]

your front yard with a hand with the eye in the palm, you know, is usually what's on a lot of signs.

[Co-host 1]

But there's a million psychics and. And if you talk to someone who's been to a psychic, they've always got a favorite. Except for me, but everybody's got a

[Melissa Carter]

favorite psychic is getting more airtime by not giving you a good rating.

[Co-host 1]

But everybody's got like, oh, you got to go to my psychic sheep. Oh, you're so good. So we decided to create the Burcho Psychoff, where we would all go to different psychics or fortune tellers or tea leave readers and pick and let them predict stuff for the summer. And at the end of the summer, we'd be able to pick one that's clearly the best because they'll hit it out of the park for one of us. Right.

[Bert Weiss]

They should all be hit at 100% because this is what they do, right? They see it.

[Melissa Carter]

Exactly. There's no bad psychic. Right.

[Bert Weiss]

So Melissa went to. Were you on Roswell?

[Melissa Carter]

No, actually, I had. I was trying to find one in Atlanta, and then I was lucky enough to go out to LA for TNT's premiere of Hawthorne, which actually premiered on TNT last night on the network. But I got a sneak peek and went out to la. And one of the things that TNT had was, and I love a theme party. So they had a party for Hawthorne, and it was very medically oriented, where people were in scrubs and you were getting massages and stuff. And it was really nice. It was fun. And then over in the corner, they. There was a psychic.

[Bert Weiss]

Okay, seriously?

[Melissa Carter]

And I thought, well, why? You know, I was, like, I said, trying to find one here in Atlanta that I was going to use. But I thought, you know what? It's right here in front of me.

[Bert Weiss]

It's a sign.

[Melissa Carter]

It's a sign. So I've got to use this psychic. So I apologize because I really don't remember her name or I don't know if I ever introduced myself, like, where she gave me her name, but she will call her the TNT psychic. And so she was reading cards, so these are tarot cards. And I went up to the table and. And I'm not sure if it's in the beginning of this, but she was asking me, you know, because I guess you have to be specific. And I tried to say, well, I just need to know what you predict or what the cards say about how my summer's gonna go. And then she said, well, do you want to know about work or personal life? And the first thing out of my mouth was, well, since I'm doing this for work, let's do work. So. And I really don't remember everything she said, but this is the reading I got in Los Angeles from the TNT psychic.

[Bert Weiss]

And then what we'll have to do is we'll have to just pay really close attention all summer long to see if she hit any of it.

[Psychic Reader]

Right now, this is in regards to what?

[Melissa Carter]

I didn't have a specific, just generic. Do I need to have a category?

[Co-host 1]

Don't you know?

[Psychic Reader]

Is it in regards to love or is it in regard to work?

[Melissa Carter]

In regards to work. Work, yes.

[Psychic Reader]

In the past, somebody has offered you a. This card means a propos. If somebody has proposed something in the past, since it's job related. Somebody offered you a job in the past?

[Co-host 1]

What?

[Psychic Reader]

What?

[Melissa Carter]

In my 39 years of life, someone has offered me a job in the past. And I wanted to say his name was Bert Weiss.

[Bert Weiss]

Wow, she's awesome. So let me get this straight. You are part of the press working this event for tnt, and she predicted that somebody at one point or another proposed a job for you?

[Melissa Carter]

Has offered me a job in the past.

[Bert Weiss]

Brilliant.

[Co-host 1]

It doesn't even that why are the

[Bert Weiss]

rest of us even doing this?

[Co-host 1]

The press part doesn't even matter. That right there applies to anyone in any circumstance.

[Melissa Carter]

Well, she knows I'm an adult at an event in which I was there for work. So, yeah, someone has offered me a job in the past.

[Co-host 1]

You could do that same reading for a seventh grader. And they would have to say, well, yeah, Jimmy asked me if I wanted to sit at his table for lunch today, but I didn't want to because I knew Jason had cold pizza and I love cold pizza. So I said no, you're right. You're a good psychic.

[Psychic Reader]

And currently you are thinking this is the temperance card. You are thinking you're going with the flow right now.

[Bert Weiss]

So basically, you're going with the flow right now. This was an actress that TNT hired and has zero psychic history at all.

[Co-host 1]

You're gonna. And you know what? Like her next, her next. You're gonna watch Hawthorne on TNT Tuesday nights. I see that. I don't know why. When you watch it, you're gonna be watching it. You're gonna be sitting down, and you're gonna be going with the flow.

[Melissa Carter]

There's a bright light. There's a bright light coming from your television screen. Yeah.

[Co-host 1]

At you. Jada Pinkett Smith.

[Bert Weiss]

I see.

[Melissa Carter]

Jada Pinkett Smith.

[Bert Weiss]

No, really, There she is. I see her. That's what I meant is I see she's right behind you.

[Co-host 1]

You may TiVo it. Yes. With the flow.

[Bert Weiss]

I think it reset itself. So I think we gotta listen those first 30 seconds.

[Co-host 1]

Oh, good. It was enjoyable.

[Psychic Reader]

Now, this is in regards to what?

[Melissa Carter]

I didn't have a specific, just generic. Do I need to have a category?

[Psychic Reader]

Well, it means is it in regards to love or is it in regard to work?

[Melissa Carter]

In regards to work. Work, yes.

[Psychic Reader]

In the past, somebody has offered you a. This card means a proposal. Okay, so somebody has proposed something in the past. Since it's job related, somebody offered you a job in the past. And currently you are thinking this is the temperance card. You are thinking you're going with the flow right now. And you are being temperate. You know, you're like keeping your cool about things. Everything's cool. You're letting everything play out. You're going with the flow.

[Bert Weiss]

No, I'm not.

[Psychic Reader]

In the future, it says here you will have heartache. Something heartache. So maybe with your job, it might be difficulty or a loss of a job or.

[Bert Weiss]

So sometime in the future you'll have heartache with a job.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah.

[Bert Weiss]

So here's a loss of a job. Could be some problems you're having at work. But at some point, you will have heartache at work.

[Melissa Carter]

I will have a heartache at my job.

[Co-host 1]

How long has that run so far?

[Bert Weiss]

7 minutes and 38 seconds. It's like a minute and a half.

[Co-host 1]

Minute and a half. I'm going to do that same reading in 10 seconds for you, Melissa.

[Bert Weiss]

Sure.

[Co-host 1]

Somebody will offer you a job someday. In the past, they've offered you a job. Now you've got it, you're going with the flow. Eventually you're gonna lose it. Thanks for coming out.

[Psychic Reader]

Something harsh about it. Maybe just get yelled at, I'm not sure. But it's something that's gonna hurt your feelings someday.

[Bert Weiss]

You're gonna get yelled at.

[Psychic Reader]

What would the rest of the summer be like? And it just says that you are a powerful woman. The nine of coins. That you have enough money to live

[Co-host 1]

on your own travel.

[Bert Weiss]

That's laughable. She got that wrong.

[Melissa Carter]

Funny to live on my own.

[Psychic Reader]

Person lives on their own. Okay? And this person is a happy family situation. And she has a lot of love in her life. And she's basically happy with her current family situation. And since it's relating to work, it must be. You are happy with the Job that you have. Okay, maybe

[Bert Weiss]

we know that's not true.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah, I just. Well, no, I. Let's see. You just got flown out to la.

[Co-host 1]

You've got enough money to travel to Los Angeles.

[Psychic Reader]

I see that.

[Melissa Carter]

Oh, I see you having money and enjoying your job.

[Psychic Reader]

Then in the future, it says, even though you might have hardship in the future, but you are the queen of wands. You will prevail. You will come out on top of maybe a promotion or something. Like you become a queen. You're my queen of that job, so you probably.

[Bert Weiss]

No, that one's not bad.

[Melissa Carter]

That could mean, like, my job.

[Bert Weiss]

Yeah, I mean, like, that could mean, like, you know, you move on from this and it's like the Melissa Carter show and that could very well be true.

[Co-host 1]

I call her the queen bee from every now and again.

[Bert Weiss]

Well, she's demanded that for a long time. So you certainly didn't volunteer contract.

[Melissa Carter]

So you have to get a raise.

[Psychic Reader]

But, you know, you might go through some sort of a scuffle or some sort of a fight or some sort of a hardship.

[Melissa Carter]

You're gonna smack somebody.

[Co-host 1]

Who the hell was that?

[Bert Weiss]

Is that a spirit? Dude, did you guys catch that? Is that just me or did you guys hear that?

[Co-host 1]

Call the Atlanta Ghost Hunters.

[Bert Weiss]

Who is that?

[Co-host 1]

Is that Jada Pigett Smith?

[Melissa Carter]

There she is.

[Commercial Announcer]

So the psychic is there.

[Melissa Carter]

Okay, this is. I forgot about this. So she started out the night by doing personal readings just by people with. We have a one on one. By the time I came to the table, like six of you, there were four of us around the table.

[Bert Weiss]

Are you sure that there were really people around you or was it just the spirits?

[Psychic Reader]

Exactly right. And then you will rise above and you'll have a very successful. Like, your job's gonna get better. You're gonna be. You're gonna have a better position. That means you've risen.

[Co-host 1]

You're gonna be in time.

[Melissa Carter]

All right, fantastic. Thank you so much.

[Bert Weiss]

Thank you.

[Psychic Reader]

Are nines significant to her? Why does she get less than a nine here?

[Melissa Carter]

Nine here.

[Psychic Reader]

I just wonder. Nines. It just means a lot of that. So she's had plenty of money and plenty of love.

[Melissa Carter]

Aw.

[Bert Weiss]

All right, so nines means. I'll tell you exactly what it means. It's the number that is wedged between 8 and 10.

[Melissa Carter]

Yeah. That spirit also is pointing out that there were a lot of nines on the table for me.

[Co-host 1]

But yeah.

[Melissa Carter]

So basically, I mean, you know what I mean? What she's saying is I'm gonna. But she didn't specify. Just to the summer, so I have a feeling that she may not win this psycho.

[Bert Weiss]

She failed.
