Overview of Full Show PT 3: Monday, January 19 [Vault]

This episode of The Burt Show (Pionaire Podcasting) centers on the recurring segment “Psycho Hall of Fame” — listeners call in to confess wildly irrational or vindictive behaviors after breakups. The show mixes first‑hand crazy breakup stories, live caller confessions, a staged office laptop phone scam prank, and a live “closure” call reconnecting two longtime friends about an ambiguous compliment from four years earlier.

Main segments

• Psycho Hall of Fame: host‑led discussion and listener call‑ins describing extreme breakup behavior (stalking, sabotage, pranks, premeditated schemes).
• Live confessions: multiple callers recount their actions (from keyed cars and laced brownies to mass magazine subscriptions and stalking that ended in injury).
• Phone scam prank: show pretends an office coworker found a personal laptop and read journal entries to warn a woman about her boyfriend (then reveals it’s a prank).
• Closure call: a prerecorded setup where caller Tammy confronts friend Mike on a four‑year‑old line — he admits he once had feelings, but now sees her only as a friend.

Psycho Hall of Fame — theme and examples

• Theme: ordinary people sometimes act unrecognizably extreme after breakups — “we induct you when you do something you normally wouldn't.”
• Examples highlighted on the show:
  • A man purportedly dressed in black, watching an ex to “see her go to sleep,” gets hit by a car and asks her to visit him in hospital.
  • A woman mails herself a package to make an ex see her looking bad, then stages a glamorous pickup to erase that memory.
  • Keying an ex’s car after discovering him with someone else (caller admitted it was an impulsive act of passion).
  • A military spouse in Italy allegedly subscribed the ex to thousands of newspapers and magazines to inundate her house while attempting to hinder her life during divorce proceedings (caller claimed nearly 5,000 items).
  • Brownies laced with large amounts of X‑Lax (sent by a cheated‑on caller) that landed the recipient in the hospital.
  • Placing hair, toenails, and rumor‑spreading to ruin an ex’s reputation and relationships.
  • Stalking from the bushes with a small child present, leading to getting caught, breaking a leg, and chaotic escape attempts — caller recites an “oath” to stop such behavior and is humorously “cleansed”/inducted.

Notable quotes & insights

• Recurring tagline: “Psycho Hall of Fame” — for premeditated or exceptional acts after a breakup.
• “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” — used in context to describe deliberate revenge behaviors.
• The line that triggered the closure segment: “You’re the type of girl who’d make a guy like me fall head over heels in love with him.”
• Hosts’ framing: distinction between impulsive acts of passion and calculated, premeditated schemes (the latter gets “inducted”).

Phone scam prank (office laptop skit)

• Setup: the show called “Jamie” pretending to be a new coworker who took her laptop home, read her journal/pictures, and warned her about her boyfriend.
• The caller responded angrily, threatened to post bikini pictures, and told the prankster to return the laptop.
• Reveal: the show disclosed it was a prank and that the caller had been set up by coworkers.

Closure segment: Tammy & Mike

• Background: Tammy has wondered for four years what Mike meant when he said the “fall head over heels” line at a noisy restaurant; they remained friends.
• Live call: Mike admits he was “really into” Tammy four years ago but was too nervous to pursue things; he no longer sees her romantically and is dating someone now.
• Outcome: Tammy gets verbal confirmation (closure). Both agree to remain friends; hosts discuss missed opportunities and how unspoken signals can lead to long‑term wondering.

Key takeaways

• Breakups can trigger both impulsive and highly premeditated revenge behaviors; the show treats the more elaborate schemes as the Psycho Hall of Fame material.
• Revenge stunts often escalate and carry real consequences (legal, physical, and reputational).
• Closure can be valuable — direct conversation can resolve years of speculation (as in Tammy’s case), but responses may not match hopes.
• Hosts emphasize accountability: don’t stalk, sabotage, or endanger yourself/others — and consider the long-term fallout of impulsive acts.

Recommended actions (from the show’s tone)

• If you’re hung up on an ambiguous comment or moment, consider asking the person directly for clarification (closure beats prolonged speculation).
• Avoid retaliatory behavior after breakups; premeditated revenge is often worse for you than the target.
• If you’re tempted to prank or harm, pause and consider legal/ethical consequences and whether it will really help you move on.

Who this episode is for

• Listeners interested in real, often shocking breakup stories and radio‑show culture.
• Anyone curious about how people rationalize extreme behavior during emotional crises.
• Those who want entertainment mixed with candid commentary on relationships, revenge, and closure.
