In yet another episode of Brad Plays With Old Crap, I decide to see what messages are on an old answering machine that Devon gave to me. This is guaranteed to be at least as interesting as when I played my Dad’s old echoplex tape. Not only will you hear old messages, but I manage to contact one of the

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 17 – AT&T 1310 Answering Machine

After spending the past couple of months ripping old 1990’s underground indie punk rock prank call cassette tapes into the computer to add to the biggest archive on the internet and finally finishing with that project, I decided to rip some old cassette tapes I found in my parent’s attic last year to see exactly what’s on them. Between church

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 16 – Microwave Milkshakes

In the mid-to-late 1980’s I wrote a program for my TRS-80 Color Computer 2 that allowed me to easily talk to people on the phone using the computer’s speech cartridge. The program consisted of a screen full of commonly used phrases like “How Are You” and “I am doing okay” and “Malfunction, Need Input.” I used the computer to call

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 15 – Calling Pay Phones In The 1980s

Here’s another episode where I activate old man story mode and tell you a thing or two about how the 1980’s were. Part One involves a machine called an Echoplex, which I used for all kinds of fun and shenanigans as a kid. The Echoplex segment isn’t quite as exciting as I’d hoped it would be, but it’s still fun

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 14 – Sara and the Echoplex

These BCS episodes have reached the level of boring to where I’m going through PAPERWORK for 90 minutes. In this one I peruse the notes written about me by counselors in my drug abuse classes. Apparently I stare at the floor a lot. For more information about my six month stint in the drug and alcohol classes, listen to episode

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 13 – Drugs Are Bad Mkay

Here’s another hour of listeners calling my pay phone in a contest I like to call Who Can Saying The Weirdest Shit Possible To Me. During post editing I solved the mystery of daylight savings in Indiana. It wasn’t the Mandella effect after all. “From 1970 until 2006, most of Indiana in the Eastern Time Zone did not observe daylight

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 12 – Dial-A-Pay-Phone – The Couch Gang

After playing a few random sound clips I found on my hard drive last night, we jump into the mysterious world of 1986 where we jam out to the Neutron Dance, where I say everything I type into the computer for the listening audience just like I was taught in movies, where I torment the teenagers that hang out in

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 11 – TRS-80 Color Computer 2

Back in February I was surprised to find out that I was sentenced to 12 weeks of a drug and alcohol abuse class, even though I’ve never had an issue with drugs or alcohol. I know you guys think I pound the 4lokos 24/7, but really I might drink a couple beers per week, usually on separate nights with my

Brad’s Cactus Shack Episode 10b – Addiction Counseling

A podcast about Brad. And his cactus shack, I guess. This show has it all, from hard drive cleaning, to call-in talk shows, not to mention the conspiracy theories and arrest reports.
