The Bert Show – Vault: This Not-So-Psycho Sue Story Got Interesting, Part 1

Date: July 17, 2026
Episode Overview:
This episode of The Bert Show dives deep into one of their wildest listener drama sagas: the “Not-So-Psycho Sue” story. It revisits the rollercoaster tale of betrayal, unexpected friendship, and messy relationship entanglements between Sue (dubbed “Not-So-Psycho Sue”), a bride known as “Fiji,” and “Tool” (the problematic groom). The cast reflects on how Sue’s initial “psycho” confession set off a chain of dramatic events, leading to the cancellation of a wedding and evolving alliances—culminating in a shocking turn as new revelations shake the group.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Background: The Origins of the Drama

[01:48-03:50] Jen explains the saga’s beginnings:

• Sue originally contacted The Bert Show when they asked listeners, “Are you stepping into psycho this weekend?”
• Sue planned to crash a wedding and expose the groom (Tool) for cheating on the bride (Fiji) with her.
• The confrontation happened ahead of the wedding; with both families present, Sue revealed everything.
• Quote (Jen, 02:01):
  “Sue called us up when we did. Are you stepping into Psycho this weekend? ... I am going to a wedding and I’m going to tell the bride that the groom has been messing around with me the entire time. He’s been playing both of us.”
• The wedding was canceled. Fiji (the bride) left for what would have been her honeymoon in Fiji—unmarried but newly bonded to Sue.

---

2. Complications and Aftermath

[02:57-04:15] Sue’s pain and the family fallout:

• Tool tries to win Sue and Fiji back; he sends faxes and even reclaims a dog he gifted Sue, escalating the drama.
• Sue and Fiji start to bond, surprisingly forming a friendship out of mutual betrayal.
• Host: “So the bride and Sue hug each other. They actually become friends. And so the bride takes off on her honeymoon … without ever getting married.” (02:57)

4. First Signs of Fracture

[07:05-08:13] The fairytale sours:

• Fiji tweets that people are doubting her version, but she insists, “She’s telling the truth too much to be a lie. I swear on my family.” (07:05)
• The hosts question whether the story has become too unbelievable, comparing it to Mean Girls:
  • “To me, [Mean Girls] is simply a movie. People don’t treat each other [like that].” (07:28)
• Tension grows: When asked when things changed, Sue admits communication with Fiji stalled after her return from the honeymoon.

---

5. Revelations & Fresh Betrayals

[08:15-10:13] A new twist - more cheating and shifting alliances:

• Sue reveals they learned Tool had also slept with her best friend in her sorority—who is married with a new baby. (08:25)
  • “The worst part is, she’s married, and she just had a kid.” (08:38, Not So Psycho Sue)
• Tool then brags in an email to the show about having “moved on” and being with the sorority sister (09:08).
• Despite this, Tool emails again, claiming he and Fiji have reconciled and are going to therapy, blaming Fiji for calling off the wedding.
  • Email excerpt read by Host (09:15):
    “Fiji and I love each other and we always have. Relationships I have had with other people have been big mistakes … and we are getting married in the fall.”

---

6. Fiji’s Return To Tool—and Fallout with Sue

[10:30-12:43] The other shoe drops:

• Host asks Fiji directly if she’s back with Tool. Fiji tweets back:
  • “We’re going to counseling. And I feel bad for turning my back on Sue, but I have to follow my heart.” (10:31)
• Co-hosts and callers express frustration and disbelief at Fiji forgiving Tool:
  • TC: “If Fiji is going to go back with the toolbox, God bless her and her simple soul … after all of this … what can you say? You just throw your hands up, turn and walk away.” (11:34)
• The hosts preview that Twitter exchanges between Sue and Fiji quickly turn ugly, signaling the end of their hard-won friendship.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Sue’s motives:
  Jen (02:01): “She called and said, ‘I am going to a wedding and I’m going to tell the bride that the groom has been messing around with me…’”

• On Tool’s manipulations:
  Host (10:15): “…he’s manipulated the bride back into a relationship somehow. Some way, either as soon as she got back from Fiji or he was calling her, he turned her around.”

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Okay, Psycho sue, let's take a big breath. Collective breath here. Not so Psycho sue is in studio this morning. And thanks for coming in. Cause I know at first you didn't want to come in today.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

It's been a crappy 24 hours for you.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

It's been a crappy two. Yeah. Three days.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Three days since Fiji got back from the honeymoon destination. Has it been crappy?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

All right, Jen, I'm putting this in your hands.

[Jen]

Okay?

[Host (possibly Bert)]

I just started listening. Or I've been. Or I've been listening every other day, and I'm not exactly sure who. Not so Psycho sue and Tool. And Fiji is. So who are these people?

[Jen]

Okay, well, as succinctly as possible and realize I'm leaving out a lot of details. Sue called us up when we did. Are you stepping into Psycho this weekend? And she called and said, I've got a plan. I am going to a wedding and I'm going to tell the bride that the groom has been messing around with me the entire time. He's been playing both of us.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

And she was gonna go after the wedding, after it was all done.

[Jen]

She was gonna go on Saturday. Right. She heard from a groomsman and decided Friday would be a better plan. She wouldn't be taking out her anger on the bride. She'd be taking it out on the groom, and the bride would have a choice. So sure enough, she meets with the. The bride and the bride's family, and the wedding doesn't happen because everything's is exposed. The groom is exposed for two timing, both of them, telling them both different things, Telling both families different things. So he has. Has been busted. So the wedding gets canceled.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

And again, that there was a family intervention there. Just to add here, there was a family intervention where everybody's in the same house together, and they're coming.

[Jen]

His mom, his grandma, bride's mom, and sister, and family. And sue was there as well. So the bride and sue hug each other. They actually become friends. And so the bride takes off on her honeymoon and goes to Fiji without ever getting married. So weddings canceled and off. Bride goes to Fiji. And then we start to hear from the groom that the groom is coming back to sue saying, I really want to be with you now. And then at the same time, he's contacting the bride and Fiji, sending her faxes, like, let's all go to counseling. Let's work it out together. Um, then he starts pulling some really psycho stuff on sue, like going to her house and taking back her dog that he had gotten for her over a year ago, doing all kinds of things to try to get attention. And then sue came in studio with us and said, basically, it's all said and done. She had gotten the dog back, but basically that he was a tool, and. And she wasn't gonna see him anymore, and neither was the bride.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

That's a lot to take in right there. One really key piece that I think we need to start to establish here is that through all this dysfunction, not so Psycho sue and Fiji has really started to form this bond together because Tool has been playing them both. So, I mean, she writes, and I'm gonna read some of these. That you guys have started to become close.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Yeah.

[Fiji]

Or so you thought.

[Katie]

Yeah, whatever she wrote. Yeah.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

I mean, I saw the tweets between the two of you guys while she was in Fiji and stuff. And you guys have sort of like. She even said that she's got a new friend out of this whole. Whole thing. So up until this point, you got a new friendship starting to form. Both women realize what's going on, and none of them want anything to do with Tool.

[Fiji]

And as we.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

The last time we had not so psycho Sued, that's where we left it all off.

[Fiji]

And then last we talked on the show, we Were like, okay, we'll feed you when she gets back into town. She's coming in studio, and we're going to talk to her in studio too, and everything's going to be fine. Happy ending. There you go.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Okay. And I think that's a really key point here, too, that Fiji wanted to come on, right? And talk about this guy also. And I want to read some tweets from her that she sent me from Fiji.

[Fiji]

Okay.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

This is the first one I got from her because I don't know who she is. And then she sends me her first tweet introducing herself to me. I'm the bride for the psycho situation. Sue told me you want us to come on. And I'm going to Fiji for my honeymoon, but I'm willing to come on when I get back. Okay. Another tweet from her. We listened to Sue's update, and I'm drinking one for the Burt show. Thanks for making her do this. And I can't wait to talk. Another tweet from her. If I send you an email with the facts that he sent me at the hotel in Fiji, would you want to read it on air? I want everyone to know what an expletive with an a and a hole he truly is.

[Katie]

What can you give me? What expletive?

[Jen]

What was that exactly?

[Host (possibly Bert)]

And Sue, I'm still trying not to reveal everybody's name. And sue does not deserve her dog being taken away from her. She's the best owner, and I know that because Tool has said it so many times. And she's honestly the sweetest girl ever and does not deserve any of this. These are all her words. This is gonna get crazy in a couple minutes. Cause these are all her words. I feel like it's my fault. Sorry. I'm a few drinks in and I heard everything online, and I feel so bad that she lost her puppy. Then I sent her a tweet, I think, saying, hey, go ahead and send that fax to Tracy and me, and, yeah, sure, I'll read it. Then she sends one back saying, I sent it to Tracy just now along with a little thing about the whole situation. I hope you can read it for me and we can talk more Monday or Tuesday. So she was ready to come in studio as soon as she got back. She was eager, says, I sent it to both of you guys, and he is truly unreal. You have no idea, exclamation point. Then we exchange a couple more tweets, and she says, but everything happens for a reason, and I gained a new girlfriend out of it, as weird as it sounds. So now we're establishing that this bond and these two girls are starting to get along with each other. Okay.

[Jen]

Kind of the happy ending part, because then the groom gets what he deserves. The women know what's going on, move on.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

So at one point, she tweets also that people are making her so mad she is telling the truth too much to be a lie. I swear on my family, she says. Okay, so those are the pertinent tweets

[Fiji]

that the whole situation was truthful.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Yeah. Because, I mean, it is a little unbelievable. Like, if sue didn't show up in studio with us a couple of days ago and wasn't here today, based on everything I saw yesterday, I would have said the whole thing was made up, because it's becoming so unbelievable, and it's getting so mean that I like the movie. Mean Girls, to me, is simply a movie. People don't treat each other.

[McDonald's Advertiser]

Why?

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Why?

[Jen]

Why, why, why? Tell me. Like, I know it's like the movie, but why?

[Katie]

Okay, yeah, put a sock in your narrative there.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

We got a lot of ground to cover. This is gonna take us a while. I'm gonna warn you right now.

[Katie]

Jen was about to call you an expletive with an A.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

All right, so everything between the two of you guys up until this point is fine. So at what point does she. Is it when she's in Fiji that she starts to feel a little bit differently about your relationship with her?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

I don't know.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

You don't know?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

She doesn't talk to me at all.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Okay.

[Jen]

Since she's been back.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

We talked when she got back, and then we found out that he slept with my best friend in my big. In my sorority, and I think she told you about that. And then the day after.

[Jen]

Not the girl that came in with you the other day. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Fiji]

I was about to say, but he

[Host (possibly Bert)]

targets somebody in her circle and. Right. And in a girl's world, in a woman's world, that's an important person in your life.

[Fiji]

And recently.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

And the worst part is, she's married, and she just had a kid. Yeah, she had a kid.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Okay, so he sleeps with her. Right.

[Katie]

When did this happen?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Over the week. He sent an email to you guys. I heard it on the air. Where he said he hooked up with someone, and then he told me that it was my best friend.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Remember, his email to us said, hey, tell both those psycho girls that I've moved on, and I found something better. In fact, I found something better. Her on Friday night. Well, that Friday night was her big. From her sorority.

[Jen]

Now, why do we believe him?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

She admitted it to me.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

She did?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Yeah.

[Moto Casino Advertiser]

Wow.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Okay.

[Fiji]

Wow.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

All right. So then I get this email from Tool which sparks everything that happens yesterday. And the email reads like this. It says, bert show. Fiji asked me to email you guys because last night we went to dinner and talk things out and are going to therapy to work through our issues. What the. She understands that I have made mistakes and that I am dating other people right now because she decided to call off the wedding. It's her fault. But we do want to be married and have a life together. Fiji and I love each other and we always have. Relationships I have had with other people have been big mistakes. We both know we are meant to be with each other, and we are getting married in the fall. The fact that I was dating someone else for two dates is not Atlanta's business, and Fiji regrets telling everyone that. I'm sorry to ruin your perfect storyline, but what we have is real and not some made for radio drama. Okay, so that one comes in, and I don't believe this dude at all, because all we know from everybody is how much of a manipulator he is.

[Not So Psycho Sue]

Right?

[Host (possibly Bert)]

So I tweet Fiji and I say, look, I just got this email. Are you guys back together? And her first tweet back to me is, there is more to it. We're going to counseling. And I feel bad for turning my back on sue, but I have to follow my heart.

[Jen]

Oh, geez.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Okay, that's. That's where the first of 15 tweets come in. And they're gonna get progressively uglier and uglier and uglier throughout the.

[Jen]

So he has somehow convinced her that it was only a mistake what he did. He's sorry for his mistake, and she needs to forgive him and them get back together. So he's manipulated the bride back into

[Host (possibly Bert)]

a relationship somehow, some way, either as soon as she got back from Fiji or he was calling her, he turned her around. Do you know when it happened?

[Not So Psycho Sue]

No, I didn't even know they were going out to eat or anything.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

So now they're back together, and they're strong, and they're a couple. Okay. Hey, T.C.

[TC]

how's it going?

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Okay, man.

[TC]

You know what? All I can say is, if Fiji is going to go back with the toolbox, God bless her and her simple soul, you know, after all of this. And she goes back to hell, you know, what can you say? You just throw your hands up, turn and walk away.

[Host (possibly Bert)]

Right?

[Fiji]

Yeah. I'm gonna wait till Katie and I saw all these tweets last night so when we get through it, I'll. Katie and I had a big discussion about it.

[Katie]

We and we the important stuff in

[Fiji]

our lives and we have a where it's fine. It's going to end up going to

[Host (possibly Bert)]

be because of the karma train which we'll get into all of these tweets here that happened yesterday because it went from okay, I'm getting back with tool to really being mean to not so psycho Sue. I mean, really mean stuff. I'm so bummed that this girl is really what she's turned out to be. Okay, so I'll read the tweets for you guys and you won't believe it, man. This girl that was begging to be on the radio, that was so happy that she that she had the wedding broken up, that she wasn't going to be married to this guy. The girl that found a brand new friend totally turns her back on. Sue here. Totally. It's the vert show.
