- Brady (02:27): “Back when he was Good, Bad and dangerous era. Ooh, there's probably some good stuff on there. But again, maybe not...He made two albums later without any of this stuff on it. This might be his garbage.”
- Titles Mocked: The group jokes about possible song titles like “Son of Thriller,” “To Satisfy You,” and then dives into increasingly off-color, imaginary tracks.
- Satirical Skit: The hosts, adopting Michael Jackson and Prince Jackson voices, improvise lyrics and absurd song concepts about Jackson’s controversial reputation, poking fun at allegations, Neverland Ranch, and infamous tropes.
- Brady as “Michael” (03:27): “Yeah, I don't think that's gonna be a hit, Michael. I think maybe we should move on to something else. What's that black and white one you were singing earlier?”

- Unnamed Male Host 2 as O.J. (08:59): “All the ones that I hadn't tried on yet. But I did use Magnum spray because I was packing pretty good hog in my day...”
- Comedic Spin: Brady jokes about the value of such questionable memorabilia and how one might display them:
- Brady (09:39): “I would buy the old rubbers in the old OJ's magazines. I put them in a little glass case and a picture O.J. over the top. It’s an interesting… You came to my house, like, what's all this? Oh, that's OJ's jerk material. And some condoms he never used. And one he did.”
- Logistical Hurdles: They struggle to find contact info for purchasing, with more jokes about possibly “rebuilding OJ from lab” with hair found in the box.
- Brady (10:15): “You had, like, there was a hair in it, like a pube or something. And then this guy would take it to a doctor and try to rebuild OJ from…from a lab.”
