Brady Bogan
For the amazing people at the Core Institute, life can throw you a curveball now and again. One day you're trucking along, feeling great. Next day your dog smashes into your head and knocks you cold. Or like a KUPD listener told me this week, his dog did a sprint across the backyard directly into the side of his wife's leg and blew her knee up. She needed that need to get fixed and fixed right. Two years later, she's running like she used to again. And it's all thanks to the Core Institute. I went through it too. And you can get rid of your pain and start saying, yes, I can to all the things you want to do. And. And all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute head there right now. The Core institute dot com. Do not listen to this while driving or when full alertness is needed. The rest of home birds, morning sickness. This is the big red radio. You know, on my good deeds kick lately, since sheriff and his posse are out to get me. And so last few days I felt.
Eric
Like, you know, they're not out to.
Brady Bogan
Get you, they're out to get me.
Diana
Have you locked yourself into your house? I have, yeah.
Eric
The fortress you hold up with a rainbow throw on.
Brady Bogan
Well, yesterday, yeah, I put my disguise on and I dug a hole in the backyard just in case I need to lay low. And I made a big, like, dirt cave. So. Because according to a guy, kfyi, I am Osama's number two. This is his exact quote. He's worse than Osama's number two. Exactly.
Diana
Do you have any weapons?
Brady Bogan
I'm glad I scare that guy that much, by the way. I'm glad I scare that guy that much. Cause I would like to scare him. No, I don't have anyone. I would love to just stand in his bedroom window and go bleh every couple minutes.
Diana
You have your dogs, but the best.
Brady Bogan
Thing is, yesterday I'm at the house and Brady's had these moments, you know, it's. And I, and I'm not gonna say this in a racist way, but it's never a white guy, A black guy comes to the door, knocks on the door. I'm outside cleaning up dog poop. Actually I had the shovel in.
Diana
It's never a white guy. I always get those Mormon kids at my door.
Brady Bogan
That's the religious end. But it's never a white guy who's gonna do this.
Eric
Did you buy a boatload of cleaner?
Brady Bogan
No. And that's another thing. What is the cleaner thing about? But this guy's at the door. Very nice.
Eric
Magic.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, simple green.
Eric
Yeah, simple green.
Brady Bogan
They make a mess in your driveway and then spray it up. And check this out. Yeah. And I don't want that. I don't ever listen to that. I don't want any products. So the guy's standing there and I finally had the courage to do it. Hey, it was the same thing from office space.
Diana
The crackhead.
Brady Bogan
The crackhead. I used to be on crack and into drugs. And there was a time in my life in which that I thought I was going to go the wrong direction and maybe even be in jail. One thing that saved me, this door to door job selling magazines. And there's only one thing I need 20,000 points to prove that I can communicate with the public. I used to sell crack, I used to sell cocaine. I used to be in a bad situation. And he went on and on and on and I sat and thought, John, do it, do it. Let him get to the part where he's going to sell you and do it. And that's all that's rolling through my mind. Do it, do it, do it. That's all my brain saying. I didn't even have the little angel on my shoulder. I just had the devil going, oh God, do it John, do it. And I heard him, I'm like, I got you man. Slap a high five with my shoulder, devil. And then he goes, and I'm interested in selling you. And I interrupted, I said, yes, I will buy crack from you. And he looked at me and just froze. Had no idea where to go with that. And I'm like, I've been waiting for somebody to do the door to door crack sale for years. And I've got this big grin on my face like tada, I did it. No, he just stood there, that's some magazines and I wanted to see a few. And he just went right into his pitch again. And then he's just looking at me, goes, nobody's never. Nobody's never done that to me before. And then I think he got kind of excited, like maybe if he had crack, he would buy it. And I'm like, I'm just kidding. But that's the way you throw these people off.
Diana
I thought you're going the other direction. I thought you were gonna ask him on money laundering or something.
Brady Bogan
No. You asked him. Yeah. No, if I did the office space thing. I asked him if he had any crack to sell, because I thought it'd be funny if he earned points selling crack, if they got that organized. But he had no idea. Now, Brady takes those people into his house, offers them a position at a restaurant for his friends. The one kid. Yeah, that one kid was at your house for four hours. You told him he could stay there if he needed to. He offered up bedrooms. He offered up. Just to a door.
Eric
No, it didn't get that far.
Brady Bogan
Sure, whatever. Jesus. All I'm saying is I asked him if. And then. So. But then I felt guilty.
Eric
He came back.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, he came back.
Eric
Well, no.
Brady Bogan
Eyeballed your house.
Eric
Turned him down on the steel, you know, and had some fun with him and left. He left. I said, man, you got. You could do such a better job at something else. And about two hours later, he came back and says, get me out of this thing.
Brady Bogan
You want my savior?
Eric
Get me out of here.
Brady Bogan
Fat Jesus, I need your help.
Diana
So would you hook them up with.
Brady Bogan
I did.
Eric
I said, you know what? If you. He was thinking about leaving the whole thing. Because they're either out of Detroit or somewhere, you know, they drive. It's.
Brady Bogan
It's a scam. It's a slave ring, really.
Eric
It is a slave ring. Yeah, totally.
Brady Bogan
One dude in charge of like 30.
Eric
People who makes all the dough. He comes out with the, you know, just draped and the gold chains and the bling.
Brady Bogan
And you know what the bad thing.
Eric
Get back in the van.
Brady Bogan
I did my crack thing with this guy thinking, that's funny. He kind of got it, and I think it made him nervous. And then I ended up like, you know what? Yeah, I'll get the thing for you. So I ended up buying Baseball Digest for a kid's shelter. Cause I thought that would be. I didn't get it for myself. I know. That was nice. But then I realized I can't joke with these people, because then I'm on the hook. Cause if I throw my big zinger at him, that I wanted to buy crack from him, and then I started thinking, what if he tried to sell me crack? Then what do I do?
Eric
You gotta buy, I guess.
Brady Bogan
You buy it. And then you buy it, and then you. And then I call Sheriff Joe and it's a drug ring. And then Sheriff Joe and I are on the same team.
Eric
And then we. That's when we dare you to run through the junkyard and get chased by the. The watchdog.
Brady Bogan
Exactly. Cuz we are stand by me's cat.
Eric
Well, there's a commercial right now. You know the crystal meth?
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah.
Eric
Now my friends dare me.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, I know.
Diana
Can I be Jerry OConnell?
Brady Bogan
You are not Jerry O'Connell. You will be Corey Feldman.
Diana
Same name.
Eric
You will be Robert Downey Jr. Lesson zero.
Brady Bogan
And I will be the crack dealer. And action. Hit your knees, Junior. But. Yeah, so I figured that. But I mean, we got to do something about this, because this is no longer us. What if I went door to door? Hello. I used to be part of a gang. How are you? I was on crack. There's plenty of white crackheads. How come they haven't wandered door to door?
Diana
It's a good question.
Brady Bogan
It's a great question. Why don't white crackheads sell magazines door to door? There's more white crystal. There are. No, there's not. There's. It's never a white guy.
Eric
I have.
Brady Bogan
I'm calling. I think this is racial discrimination.
Eric
I've gotten it twice.
Brady Bogan
White guy selling you magazines.
Eric
I mean, granted, he's from the inner city. Yeah. Granted, he's a M and M. Vanilla Ice.
Brady Bogan
I never had a white kid do it. Every time I get it, it's a white kid going, I'm in Arcadia High and I need to sell 10 magazines so I can go to Paris for four months.
Eric
No. You know who it was? It was basically twice I've had. Even though you could say he's the token in that group. But it's basically Kay Fed coming up to your door. Yo, what up, G?
Brady Bogan
I've never had a white kid do it. It's always a black guy. And I always buy some.
Eric
But that's where the main programs are coming out of.
Brady Bogan
I don't care, Brady. Where are the white crackheads?
Diana
They're out there.
Brady Bogan
I'm gonna be the Jesse Jackson of this thing.
Eric
Maybe they don't stop.
Brady Bogan
I want. I want the crackheads going door to door to start having more fair hiring practices and get a few white crackheads in there. It's racial discrimination that. That whole organization doesn't have one white guy.
Diana
Yeah, it's the guy running it.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, that's probably true. It's the crooked bastard in the lead. They still need to hire more white crackheads because there's plenty of white crackheads out there. And I'm proud of all the crackheads for selling magazines. At least they're not out there doing crack.
Eric
It's a good skill to learn selling magazines. Well, yeah, to learn the skill of.
Brady Bogan
Selling, but it's more just get off my porch.
Eric
It's the toughest one, I think.
Brady Bogan
It's. It's. It's get off my porch.
Eric
And if you think about it, I'm saying it can be a good skill. But if you're. You're on crack and all of a sudden they. They say, oh, you get off crack, you stop doing it, and you get into this slave ring that they run.
Brady Bogan
Right. That's what it is.
Eric
And you're going door to door selling magazines. Which would you rather do? Go back on the crack? Yeah, absolutely.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. There's more money in there.
Eric
That's what the real world's like.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, this is what it's like.
Eric
And it's not.
Brady Bogan
And all these people are gonna be mean to me. I mean. Cause most of the time. And then you get all the people with no soliciting signs. I actually considered buying one of those. But then I think you're officially an old man when that happens.
Diana
Just don't answer the door.
Brady Bogan
Well, he saw me in the window.
Eric
So they're fun to talk to.
Brady Bogan
Then you're just a racist, Eric. No. Yes, you are.
Diana
He could have a gun. I'm not going out there.
Brady Bogan
My point exactly. Thank you very much.
Diana
I mean, couldn't I just say I get these little.
Eric
Answer the door with the white pillowcase over your head and take it off as ranch.
Brady Bogan
Hey.
Eric
Yeah, hang on. What's up, man?
Brady Bogan
Hold on. I was just getting ready to go somewhere. What am I gonna do for you?
Diana
The other day? Check this out.
Brady Bogan
That would be ultimately hilarious.
Eric
Blazing Saddles.
Brady Bogan
Saddles. Funny, but, I mean, you might get beat up, but it would be worth it. I think it's worth the joke.
Diana
I get these little girls come to my door with the candy cups. You know, the candy girls.
Brady Bogan
I answer that in a sheet, too.
Diana
So she comes to my door and it happens like, at least once a month.
Eric
That's when you put over.
Diana
Let's just say I'm. There's something on my TV that probably shouldn't be.
Brady Bogan
Porno.
Eric
Your. Your aunt's porn?
Brady Bogan
Yeah, yeah, Family porn.
Eric
The one you stole.
Diana
I guess I had it up a little too loud, too. She starts knocking on the door, and I'm like, you know the panic mode. You go into the panic mode, shut her down. I didn't answer the door. I just sat there quietly hoping.
Brady Bogan
John holmberg's morning sickness.
Larry McFeely

Brady Bogan
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from amco.
Eric
And Wayne. Now that it's getting warmer, I turned.
Brady Bogan
On the AC in my car and.
Eric
The air's blowing kind of cool, but.
Brady Bogan
It really smells like a basement. What can I do about that, Larry? Your car's AC system should be checked and serviced every year. Plus, replacing the cabin air filter helps the air bl strong and takes away any nasty smell. Nice.
Eric
Is that a big deal to get done?
Brady Bogan
Not at all. It takes about an hour, and in most cases, we can do it while you wait.
Eric
That's awesome.
Brady Bogan
I'll say. We're amco. Google amco for your nearest location. That's amco double a mco transmissions and a whole lot more. Homeburg's morning sickness. Want to know? Not that I'm a topper. Don't want to be a topper. But you know how my window works. When you walk up to my door, the front window goes.
Eric
You can see right in.
Brady Bogan
Totally forgot that was open. And it was nighttime, and I threw on. This is even worse. Cause you know my summer adventure, I had a few videos.
Eric
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
So I had one video of me getting it on till the break of dawn.
Diana
Wait a minute. You're watching yourself?
Brady Bogan
Hell, yes. Who's sexier to Johnny than Johnny? Nobody. So I'm watching this video.
Diana
Hopefully there was a woman in this.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. It wasn't just me going, hello, big fella.
Eric
He was watching the video.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah.
Eric
He's watching the video that was in the background. Meanwhile, he said hanging a picture of himself up on the wall.
Brady Bogan
No, I wasn't watching for. You know, I wasn't reviewing Geneva.
Eric
He and the Open caller. Sure. Shooting the guns.
Brady Bogan
I wasn't. I wasn't reviewing game tape. I was watching for the girl.
Diana
Oh, okay.
Brady Bogan
Because she.
Diana
Did a good job.
Brady Bogan
She rides like a rattlesnake, this one. So this was back in like July and it was a good one. So I remember just throwing it in there, going, yeah, what the hell? So I dropped trowel and I'm watching this tape of me and it's on the 53 incher, which goes right out the window. And sure enough, when I get up, I look out and it's not dark, but it's dusk. I get up, I look out and there are 10 kids in the road on their razor scooters just going in circles, looking in the window, just like, wow, what's going on in there? And it's all night vision. Baghdad going on in my house.
Eric
You know, he'd get in trouble.
Brady Bogan
I know. I don't know that they.
Diana
Sex education.
Brady Bogan
I don't even know that they really. Well, you'd had to get, you know, in the house to really. But you.
Eric
I don't know if you knew it was in trouble. And the cars, you know, people are getting busted in the cars. Having them on the little mini. There were kids from.
Brady Bogan
Oh yeah, you can't do that. There were kids from other neighborhoods. I don't know that you could make out exactly what was going on, but you knew. Knew what was happening. I mean, you couldn't really get.
Eric
They're probably going by on their scooters going, boy, that guy's into the nature channel. I'm tired of watching those hippos, mate.
Brady Bogan
I think he's. I think he's watching like something from Desert Storm. It's all green. Night visiony. What is that?
Eric
Is that an albino elephant?
Brady Bogan
Yeah. What is that, a tooth with a root? Oh my God, that's a butt. It's a guy's butt.
Eric
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
You don't see me. I'm very.
Diana
You're making Paris Hilton tapes.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah.
Diana
Night vision.
Brady Bogan
Denny Crane. Oh, yeah. You haven't made that.
Eric
Bob Crane.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, Bob Crane.
Diana
I can afford a video camera.
Brady Bogan
I've got four of them on board. But you can't. I can't give you my night vision ones because those are in the walls. Oh yeah, yeah. I had those planted on the walls. Security. It's 6:15 in the morning. Sickness. Yes. The sheet idea is good for the crackheads. Cause you just know when you see. And you can see a black guy walking around with his pamphlets. Great. Ten minutes from now, he's gonna be banging on my door and I'm gonna have to buy boys life for a shelter again. And I feel okay about that. But do you ever interrupt him and just say, what do you want me to buy? What are you selling? Oh, yeah, I don't need your spiel. I'm sorry you had a tough go, but I was watching myself have sex a second ago and you interrupted that. So. Yeah. And it is a good idea to tape it and review the game tape, by the way, every once in. Go back, take a look, do a couple rewinds, coach yourself, see what you maybe have done wrong. See where you need some help body wise. You know, a lot of times you don't see that back fat, you know, on.
Eric
On her or you.
Brady Bogan
Well, or him. You pick her apart too. But while you're with her or him, Brady, you. You can see them. You can't see yourself. And there's certain noises you make that you want to kind of correct. Like for instance, I'll never do this again. That's out.
Eric
You didn't know that going into it.
Brady Bogan
That was about three minutes of that.
Eric
There's one I'll never stop.
Brady Bogan
Turn it to Adam Sandler. I like to do sex with you.
Eric
The one that drives him nuts. And I do it.
Brady Bogan
And then it's over. Yeah, good stuff. Answer with a sheet on your head. Brady Bogan. Suggestion of the day. Don't really do it. Don't listen to what we say. Holmberg's Morning Sickness 98 KUPD Another suggestion just came in the email. When those guys come to your door, the crackheads come to your door selling magazines. See if they have high times and try to send that to the inner city center. Yeah, I get a prescription of high times there for the inner cities. Who we going to first?
Diana
Go to two.
Brady Bogan
First line. Two is on there. Hello there. Who says hello? Hey, what's going on, man?
Caller 1
Hey, how you guys doing?
Brady Bogan
Doing well. What's up?
Caller 1
Not much. Yeah, when you guys are talking about those crackheads coming the door remind me of this time back in high school. One of my cousins were out back smoking out and we hear a doorbell wearing. We start freaking out, thinking it's his mom.
Brady Bogan
Let's turn off.
Caller 1
It's one of these little black guys, like, hey man, I'm rehabbed. I'm coming out from the inner city, trying to get some. He smoked the weed, smoking. He's like, hey, what's going on? I'm like, oh man, we're just hanging out. Hey, can I come in so we had this guy in. He was there for like an hour and a half smoking up all our stuff.
Brady Bogan
Wait a minute. The crackhead selling magazines came in and smoked with you?
Caller 1
Oh, yeah.
Brady Bogan
And you let him?
Caller 1
Oh, heck yeah.
Brady Bogan
He's trying to rehab.
Caller 1
Oh, I know. But hey, you know what? We got to bring the dark side a little bit.
Brady Bogan
Come on now. Careful, careful. Gotta watch your mouth there. All right. You know, go smoke out. My friend Brady is 10 for 10 on predicting when somebody's going to cuss. Nice job, man. We'll talk to you later.
Caller 1
All right, See you later.
Brady Bogan
That's not. You know, if you're smoking weed, you don't invite the crackhead in.
Diana
Pothead's cussing.
Brady Bogan
The worst thing you want to do is get a crackhead knowing where the drugs are.
Eric
You know, you really gotta feel good about yourself. Getting someone back on something that has ruined their life.
Brady Bogan
Oh boy, now you've made them mad.
Diana
Well, you were quiet. You could have told.
Brady Bogan
Dude, look, your life wasn't going that great. And it still isn't if you're door to door magazine salesman.
Eric
You're trying.
Brady Bogan
That doesn't mean you're off the crack. In fact, I would need crack to go door to door selling magazine.
Eric
But it's working for him.
Brady Bogan
Is it?
Eric
Who bought yesterday?
Brady Bogan
Oh, I bought. Probably gave him 20 bucks. And he's probably smoking it right now, but.
Eric
Could be, but you never know.
Brady Bogan
I don't care. At least the kids get a magazine.
Eric
He can work his way up to manager. Get the bling. Or I can drive the van.
Brady Bogan
Even better if they come in and just go, man, I'm glad you're here. I've been working on some dope rhymes and then just start like.
Eric
There you go.
Diana
Little rap idol in your house.
Brady Bogan
Somebody on line one also.
Diana
Yes, Somebody's online one.
Brady Bogan
Hello there. Who's this? Are you there?
Brianne
I sure am. This is Brianne.
Brady Bogan
Hi, Brianne. How are you?
Brianne
I'm doing great this morning. How you doing, John?
Brady Bogan
Welcome back. Thanks. Doing just fine. You're awfully happy today.
Brianne
What's that?
Brady Bogan
You're just awfully happy today.
Brianne
That's because I've had my coffee.
Brady Bogan
Good for you.
Diana
Apparently she's Fitz's lab assistant.
Brady Bogan
Oh, you're fit. You're the girl helping Fitz out.
Brianne
I am the lab assistant. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Now you're helping Fitz out. He's taking those. Those.
Brianne
Ejaculoid.
Brady Bogan
Ejaculoid. Which is a word I don't like saying. It's. It's. It's the male C word. It's just too technical. We don't like thinking of it in a science way. It's all about fun and making you leave. So he's taking this stuff and. And he's trying to figure out if it works or not. And you're helping him.
Brianne
Oh, and how are you guys helping him?
Brady Bogan
I'm not helping him. You're helping him. Right. You're the one going.
Brianne
I'm like, no way.
Brady Bogan
You're the one going to the men's room trying to help him out, if you know what I mean.
Brianne
I see. I see. I mentioned this morning something about your feet.
Brady Bogan
My feet? I need somebody to fix my feet.
Brianne
Unfortunately, that will not be me. I don't do feet.
Brady Bogan
Why you'll do Fitz's junk and not my feet? You know where that's been?
Brianne
You know, I draw the line of feet, especially stinky feet.
Brady Bogan
Well, then make it clean, and I'll make it worth your while.
Brianne
How are you gonna make it worth my while?
Brady Bogan
I'll. I'll give you a tongue bath.
Brianne
But I don't know if you heard, but I did tell Big Dick Toledo yesterday that I would help out Brady if he needed any kind of testing. Especially like maybe, I don't know, cheese testing.
Brady Bogan
Oh, so you want to just eat a wheel of cheese with Brady? Gouda.
Eric
Gouda.
Brady Bogan
I don't understand that. But my feet smell like cheese.
Brianne
Nope. Gotta draw the line at feet.
Eric
I got your foot person.
Brady Bogan
Who?
Eric
The googs? He loves feet. Tom Googliotta.
Brady Bogan
That is true. Tom had a fetish with feet.
Eric
He cleaned him right up.
Brady Bogan
That's true. I get googs on it. Well, you won't help me. Well, good luck getting the mung off of your tongue in life. Messing around with fits.
Brianne
Well, as we say, for the love.
Brady Bogan
Of science, guess so. Well, good luck.
Brianne
Hey, thanks a lot. You have a good one.
Brady Bogan
We'll talk to you later.
Brianne
Later.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, she. If you're listening to Fitz in the afternoon, he said, got her helping him out. Trying to see if that stuff works.
Diana
Will help Brady and Fitz. But you're.
Brady Bogan
She won't touch my feet. That's how bad my feet are. And they've never been this bad. I literally stunk up the whole house yesterday. Even the crackhead was, like, tough, though. What is that smell in your house, man? It's my feet.
Eric
That's a deal breaker.
Brady Bogan
Oh, stinky feet on a girl?
Eric
Yes. Oh, I never experienced or just, you know, hammered toes.
Diana
Hammered?
Brady Bogan
Yeah. If they've got ugly feet, you're kind of like because it's, it's a, it's like foreshadowing. If their toes and feet are bad, that is not a good sign.
Eric
If the nails aren't feet, if they're not looking polished or painted and they got yellow munched nails, toenails, that's, that's Eric.
Brady Bogan
Start looking Eric. It's true. It is important. Yeah. Don't get upset about that.
Eric
Most of the girls that he goes out can't see their feet.
Brady Bogan
Point being feet is a precursor of things to come. And if their feet aren't maintained, it just starts going up. Then their legs get all cheesy and then they get big bellies and then their faces turn into big pillows and.
Eric
You lose your remote. There's folds, there's change in the folds.
Brady Bogan
Watch their feet. That's part of your new 2006, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect 98k u p.

Brady opens the episode by recounting his time selling magazines door-to-door, a job that inadvertently kept him away from a darker path. He humorously describes the challenges and absurdities of the role, highlighting how it served as a pivotal point in his life.
"One thing that saved me, this door to door job selling magazines. And there's only one thing I need 20,000 points to prove that I can communicate with the public."
— Brady Bogan [04:48]
Brady shares a memorable encounter where he humorously pretends to buy crack from a fellow salesman to throw off their pitch, resulting in an awkward but funny interaction.
"I asked him if you have any crack to sell, because I thought it'd be funny if he earned points selling crack."
— Brady Bogan [04:23]
This tactic not only lightens the mood but also underscores the often bizarre nature of door-to-door salesmanship.
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the racial stereotypes associated with magazine salespeople. Brady expresses frustration over the lack of diversity in his past interactions, noting that he primarily encountered Black salesmen rather than White ones.
"I never had a white guy selling you magazines. It's always a black guy."
— Brady Bogan [07:23]
The co-hosts engage in a candid conversation about the implications of these observations, touching upon themes of racial discrimination and representation. This segment is both thought-provoking and delivered with the show's characteristic humor.
"I think this is racial discrimination."
— Brady Bogan [07:26]
Brady humorously laments the absence of White salesmen, suggesting that increasing diversity could challenge existing stereotypes and potentially disrupt the status quo.
The co-hosts, Brady, Eric, and Diana, engage in lively and humorous exchanges throughout the episode. They share personal stories, joke about each other's quirks, and playfully tease one another, creating a dynamic and entertaining listening experience.
For instance, Brady recounts an incident where he accidentally leaves his front window open while watching a video of himself, leading to curious onlookers.
"So I dropped a towel and I'm watching this tape of me and it's on the 53-inch, which goes right out the window... there are 10 kids in the road on their razor scooters just going in circles, looking in the window."
— Brady Bogan [12:25]
Another humorous moment occurs when Brady discusses his supposed "stinky feet," leading to playful teasing from Eric and Diana.
"If their toes and feet are bad, that is not a good sign."
— Brady Bogan [21:18]
These interactions not only provide comic relief but also showcase the camaraderie among the hosts.
Towards the latter part of the episode, listeners join the conversation, sharing their own experiences related to door-to-door interactions. A caller narrates a story of welcoming a fellow struggling with addiction into his home, only to realize the complexities of supporting someone in recovery.
"One of my cousins were out back smoking out and we hear a doorbell ringing... the crackhead selling magazines came in and smoked with you?"
— Caller [17:00]
The hosts respond with empathy and humor, discussing the challenges of helping others while maintaining boundaries. This segment highlights the show's interactive nature and its ability to connect with the audience on personal levels.
As the episode wraps up, Brady reflects on the importance of self-awareness and personal growth. He emphasizes the value of reviewing one's actions and behaviors, albeit in his unique and humorous style.
