    Summer Jobs, Vuvuzelas & Josh’s Final Day: From Drywall Misery to Lake Days

    Thursday, June 11, 2026 Josh is back in studio with Brock for another full morning of best-friend chaos, and the trending thread is all about the best and worst summer jobs people have ever had. Josh shares that working at Kwik Trip was one of his easier jobs, while his worst summer job was helping with drywall and insulation for his uncle’s construction company—complete with itchy pink insulation that would not come off no matter how many showers he took. Listeners chime in with everything from cutting grass while allergic to pollen, working restaurant dish pits, doing construction in Norway, cleaning up awful maintenance jobs, working as a dockhand at a marina, caddying on the LPGA Tour, and even teaching juggling at summer camp. Brock also shares that his worst job was working at McDonald’s for a month just to pay off a speeding ticket. The show gets into plenty of “What the Heck” stories, including police in Washington using new translation tech to communicate across 50 languages, FIFA banning vuvuzelas from the World Cup, and two guys in Los Angeles filming themselves hitting golf balls into traffic and buildings downtown like complete idiots. Brock and Josh also test how old they are with classic commercial jingles from Folgers, Band-Aid, Oscar Mayer, and Alka-Seltzer, then roll through random facts about moonwalking astronauts, the worst-rated beers in the world, laughter burning calories, Wyoming’s tallest building, and the very strange sound effects used for the raptors in Jurassic Park. In the 7 AM Challenge, Josh plays a “what do these have in common?” game and manages to figure out clues involving wagons, weeds, pranks, flags, gardens, bowling alleys, and the oldest jewelry store in the United States. Later, the guys talk about Taylor Swift performing at the Toy Story 5 premiere with Randy Newman, her rumored bridesmaids, and Tom Hanks joking about colonoscopy prep competitions with Martin Short and Steve Martin. The episode also includes a good news story about a Canadian woman helping save her neighbor’s life with CPR after his 12-year-old son came to her door for help. Brock and Josh then talk basketball, sore legs, backwards beach days, phrases people say wrong, celebrity gossip, Matt Damon becoming “Nomad” for charity, Supergirl’s pierced ears, Machine Gun Kelly’s tattoo regret, tiny towns, World Cup events in Northwest Arkansas, and things professionals should never say. The show wraps with Josh finishing out another morning in studio, plans for the lake, Suno songs, breakup-song talk, Olivia Rodrigo comparisons, and one last push for everyone to go buy some furniture at Sam’s.

    What Not to Do in America: Speeding Tickets, Ukulele Road Rage & Buying Property in Hell

    Wednesday, June 10, 2026 Josh is back in studio for day three with Brock, and the show kicks off with the trending thread: “In the U.S., what should you never do?” The answers range from practical advice to very American warnings: never get out of your car during a traffic stop unless told to, never start a fistfight because someone might be carrying, never stand too close in line, never show up unannounced without a text first, and definitely never ride in an ambulance unless you are ready for the bill. Josh shares the hilarious story of getting pulled over at 16 and asking the cop if he could just pay the ticket in cash so he would not have to tell his parents. Brock follows it up with his own Tesla traffic stop story, claiming he was not speeding because technically the car was driving itself. The show also gets into plenty of “What the Heck” stories, including a California road rage attack involving a ukulele, mice spotted inside Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, 10,000 bottles of bourbon stolen from a Philadelphia warehouse, dynamite found inside a woman’s old freezer, and a bizarre Alaska Senate race where two Republicans named Dan Sullivan are accusing each other of confusing voters. Brock and Josh also talk about random facts, including the origin of the Jaws theme, ancient Romans having great teeth, Voltaire gaming the lottery, Samoa skipping an entire calendar day, and why the Earth’s core is hotter than the surface of the sun. Josh crushes the 7 AM Challenge with a round of Breakfast Bingo, proving he may be better at radio trivia than softball. Later, the guys cover softball season, Madonna’s new music, Netflix’s upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo Origins, Hulk Hogan’s official cause of death, Stevie Nicks’ major medical donation, and some genuinely happy news about a baby coyote rescued from cactus spines, an endangered California condor returning to Oregon for the first time in over a century, and promising cancer vaccine research. The show also dives into everyday things that used to be affordable but now feel like luxuries, including houses, concert tickets, babysitters, movie tickets, cable TV, home repairs, red meat, and vet care. Brock and Josh also talk about dangerous AI teddy bears, a gas station screw scam, and a real estate listing for seven acres in Hell, Michigan, complete with an ice cream shop, wedding chapel, and souvenir store. The episode wraps with laughter as medicine, the legendary “Ticklish Reuben” laughing song, celebrity gossip, Long John Silver’s, Guitar Hero nostalgia, lake days, and Josh officially surviving his third straight morning back on the radio.

    Josh & Summer Join the Show: Mystery Car Smells, Coffee Confessions & Pickleball Chaos

    Tuesday, June 9, 2026 Brock welcomes back his longtime best friend Josh Satterfield, and this time Josh brings his wife, Summer Satterfield, into the studio. The crew kicks off the morning with plenty of laughs, old friendship energy, and Summer slowly warming up to the mic after a few cups of coffee. The trending thread asks listeners about the random things they’ve found in or under their cars, which leads to some wild stories. Josh shares a nightmare grocery pickup story involving forgotten hamburger meat left in the trunk for weeks, turning his car into a rolling biohazard. Listeners also chime in with stories like Cheerios ending up inside a car’s air cleaner thanks to chipmunks or squirrels, and a mechanic finding a Dorito bag taped behind a rattling speaker in a nearly brand-new car. The show also dives into plenty of “What the Heck” moments, including a New Jersey school that sends freshmen on a 55-mile Appalachian Trail hike to build character, a Texas child accidentally eating a THC lollipop from a school birthday goodie bag, a man in a Spider-Man mask robbing a storage unit on a moped, and a Florida sheriff describing a very awkward public indecency arrest in unforgettable fashion. Josh and Summer face off in the 7 AM Challenge with a round of The Feud, where the question is: “Name something you wish you could tell your husband but you’re afraid it will end the marriage.” The answers get hilariously dangerous, ranging from bad bedroom performance and money problems to hating his mom. Josh wins, but the real victory is getting Summer talking on the radio. Later, Brock and the crew talk celebrity headlines, including Taylor Swift’s rumored wedding plans, Nicolas Cage turning down huge roles, Taylor’s new Toy Story 5 song, Guy Fieri allegedly not swallowing food on camera, and the idea of watching major events in virtual reality. Summer also shares that she is a wedding videographer, leading to a fun college throwback about Brock, Josh, and Summer all attending Evangel University together. The episode wraps with conversations about coffee shops, Onyx, Hot Shots memories, adulting, leftovers, pickleball addiction, softball plans, and a hilarious story about a 91-year-old pickleball player who fell twice, broke ribs, and still kept playing. It is a relaxed, funny, friend-filled episode with big “old friends hanging out in the studio” energy.

    Best Friends, Bad Breakups & Dad Rock: Josh Satterfield Returns to Brock in the Morning

    Monday, June 8, 2026 Brock welcomes his longtime best friend Josh Satterfield back into the studio for a full-on throwback episode packed with old radio memories, ridiculous breakup excuses, random facts, and classic Brock-and-Josh chemistry. The two reminisce about their college radio days on Jibber Jabber, their old show Nap Time, and how this version of Brock in the Morning is “the real deal” on Sam’s Furniture Radio. The trending topic of the day is the most unhinged breakup excuse you’ve ever heard, and the answers do not disappoint. From “my mom doesn’t think you’re right for me” even though the mom had passed away years earlier, to “my therapist says I need someone who matches my moon phase,” to the classic “God told me we need to break up,” Brock and Josh dig into the wild, awkward, and hilarious ways people try to end relationships. The show also covers plenty of “What the Heck” moments, including new Hot Pocket Snack Breaks, an Olive Garden server allegedly being denied a $700 tip, a fistfight breaking out at a kindergarten graduation, and a priest in Detroit going full crime-fighter mode after chasing down a suspected car thief. Brock and Josh mix in random facts about zebras, gladiators, Russell Crowe, The Bahamas, The North Face, and the original lyrics to “Escape,” better known as the Pina Colada song. In the 7 AM Challenge, Josh plays “Answer Wrong and Win,” leading to some beautifully dumb answers involving chocolate milk, grocery shopping, and Olympic seasons. Later, the guys dive into dad rock, ranking bands like Weezer, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Korn, Incubus, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, Creed, and Blink-182 as the new soundtrack of fatherhood. That naturally leads to memories of concerts, college, Mr. T commercials, Prince, Randy Travis, Lainey Wilson, donuts, and the kind of nostalgic chaos only best friends can create. The episode wraps with Brock and Josh talking about Modern Mission laser tag, wild cruise cabin plumbing disasters, terrible breakup excuses, celebrity gossip, and one last college-radio-style goodbye with a little Russ Taff energy. It is a funny, nostalgic, and all-over-the-place Monday show with best-friend banter at the center.

    Have You Made It? Fitness, Status Symbols & Monday Chaos with Frisco the Kid and McClure Fitness

    Monday, June 1, 2026 Brock kicks off Monday with Frisco the Kid back in studio and Caroline from McClure Fitness joining the show for the first time. The crew dives into the question of the day: what is the biggest sign that someone has “made it” in life? Answers range from drinking coffee on the porch at 10 AM, working out mid-morning, owning a backyard kitchen, having a walk-in closet, a hot tub, a sauna, designer shoes, luxury handbags, and high-end watches. The show also gets into plenty of random chaos, including a man tearing down his house with an excavator after a breakup, a woman without a right hand getting a ticket for supposedly holding her phone in her right hand, couch-surfing TikTok injuries, weird facts about Jupiter, paid toilets, Kim Jong Il’s wild biography claims, and a round of Family Feud where Frisco pulls out the win. Caroline shares what makes McClure Fitness unique in Bentonville, including indoor cycling, barre, Pilates, yoga, strength classes, boot-camp-style workouts, free childcare, no contracts, and a strong community vibe—especially for moms looking for fitness and friendship. She also talks about McClure Fitness participating in Bike Fest with live demo sessions. Frisco talks about his podcast grind, his comedy special being edited in Los Angeles, his upcoming Little Rock show, and his new Bronco. The show wraps with more celebrity gossip, Shareholders Week talk, fitness motivation, vegan jokes, TV recommendations, and classic Brock in the Morning banter.
