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

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

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

This collection of calls is mostly from 2015, with a couple from 2016 thrown in. They’re calls to customers of a few shoe stores who aren’t used to shoe orders being such a hassle. The new intro song is by Carol. Background music is Try by Pink. If you like the calls you heard in […]

Today’s show contains only three calls, but they’re long and awesome because you can’t go wrong with calls about tunnels underneath houses. If you like the calls you heard in this episode, then you’ll probably like my other podcast, called The Snow Plow Show.  I also pop up occasionally on the shows you find on […]

Today’s show takes a few of the best Halloween themed prank calls from 2016 and 2017 shows and presents them to you in a single, easy-to-digest show, devoid of long rambling intros, phone news, and thirty minutes of listener voicemails. Here’s a link to download Devo Spice’s PC Halloween and here’s MC Wreckshin’s My House […]

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

This episode is the exciting sequel to episode 19, where I called guests who’d recently stayed in a hotel to accuse them of various wacky things. Or maybe it’s more like a remake or a reboot, since it’s essentially the same plot but with slightly different situations. Either way, enjoy this one! If you like […]

Today’s episode dives back into the world of a homeowner’s association ruled by Frank, which you first heard call to back in episode 12. Pretty much all of these calls are centered around the previous night’s fireworks celebrations.

In today’s episode we’ll be talking to owners of dogs who use a community dog park which I think is a part of a home owners association.  You’ll hear me ask dog owners to stop smelling their dog’s poop, demand that they like the dog park page on Facebook, and ask that age-old question: WHO’S […]

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

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

Today’s episode features people still caring what their phone number is, even though nobody memorizes phone numbers anymore.  We tell a few people that we’re with the phone company and that we’ve given their phone number to someone more important than them. If you like the calls you heard in this episode, then you’ll probably […]

In this show we get to know residents of Celina, Ohio on a very personal level with some hard-hitting questions.

Today’s episode contains nothing but calls to homeowners who live under the strict rule of their local homeowners association.  You’ll hear a lot of references to Frank, who was one of the big wigs at that HoA.  He probably had the most interesting week ever after our calls.   If you like the calls you […]

This episode of Brad’s Cactus Shack activates my old man story mode so I can tell stories about old men. Then I play some old 90’s Dino audio that can barely be heard, but it’s okay because I tell you small parts of what he probably said, then drone on and on about OCI for a bit. We wrap it

Some residents of an apartment complex can’t obey a simple request that they not draw all over the sidewalks with chalk like a bunch of 5-year-olds.  We also listen to a few more of those car recall pranks, but this time they’re much shorter calls. If you like the calls you heard in this episode, […]

Cody NoName sent me a link to a conspiracy video that I really want to watch, but I’m too afraid to watch it by myself because conspiracy videos are scary, so I’m bringing you guys along to watch it with me. This is a conspiracy theory about the Skunkworks situation and what those underground tunnels really mean. Don’t worry, there’s

This episode is basically just one long prank, made to a family who believed for awhile that their car would never go faster than 55 MPH again.  Opening music by Redbox and the Chilipeppers, background music is Perfect Timing by David Lee Roth and ending music is Cooking By The Book by Crazy Town, featuring […]

On Wednesday night I sat in my moderately comfortable chair and took calls from viewers for about an hour, who all seemed to think it’s funny to make prank calls to me. This is a serious show, people, and if the prank calls don’t stop I will end it. The song in this one is called Rocking Chair by Dean

This episode gets back to the business of clearing out my hard drive and playing a few of the interesting things I find along the way. You’ll hear some transfer files I made to more effectively trick phone company employees, some stuff I’m pretty sure came from my good pal Legend, a weird method of getting free calls and hiding

Today’s Cactus Shack episode is an hour-long call in show where I sit in my comfy recliner and take calls on the pay phone and we basically just scream at each other a lot. Enjoy! Listen to Neon every single Sunday night because she never misses a week Here’s a Jack Nicolson soundboard prank to KFC You can’t trust those

I found more phone company recordings scattered around various drives, buried several sub-directories deep. Hopefully these aren’t calls that I played on the first episode. We also listen to some so-called chaos that I caused at a mall in the mid-2000’s, and we revisit my old neighbor Warren and his super exciting lifestyle. On that part where I couldn’t understand
