Date: April 9, 2026
Hosts: Bert Weiss, Melissa Carter, and other Bert Show Cast members

Episode Overview

This episode revisits a memorable segment: the Bert Show’s "Psychoff," where cast members visit various psychics and share their readings. 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. The tone is playful, irreverent, and skeptical, with the cast riffing on the tropes and clichés of psychic readings.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

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)
- Future: “You will have heartache... maybe with your job, it might be difficulty or a loss of a job...” – Psychic Reader (08:00)
  - Bert: “At some point, you will have heartache at work.” (08:15)
- Ultimate Outcome: “But you are a powerful woman… You will come out on top, maybe a promotion or something.” – Psychic Reader (09:45)
  - 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

"Queen of Wands" Card:
- “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)

Memorable Quotes & Moments

On the vagueness of psychic readings:
- Co-host 1: “You could do that same reading for a seventh grader...” (05:52)
Melissa’s sarcasm:
- “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.” (05:14)
Bert’s critique:
- “This was an actress that TNT hired and has zero psychic history at all.” (06:17)
On the "Queen" prediction:
- Bert: "That could mean… it's like The Melissa Carter Show.” (10:04)
