Brad and John Show

The Brad and John show is the podcast version of the live broadcast on WestplexTalk 104.5 Monday through Friday from 7 to 8 AM Central. Listen Live at WestplexTalk.com Brad and John are two dudes from different backgrounds and different generations. Both are proud NoCo (AKA North Saint Louis County) boys. Brad is a 50+ year radio veteran. He never loses his concentration and is constantly complimented by John. John is a former communicator for an agriculture company, and started johncombest.com in 2001 to centralize Missouri political news and decentralize truth. Together they talk news, politics, P51 Mustangs and occasionally fashion.”

    583 B - Bitter Brad's play therapy vs. successful businessman Dave Greene - Brad & John Show

    Brad hijacks B block to play a pre-recorded wrestling-style promo criticizing successful businessman Dave Greene. Using a concept consistent with toddler play therapy, Brad uses an imaginary friend ("Dick the Schmoozer") to express Brad's feeling of anger and resentment toward both Greene and Brad's co-host, John Combest.John acknowledges Brad's angst, then attempts to redirect the conversation in a positive direction by thanking listeners for the tremendous volume of feedback on this week's shows. Rather than show appreciation for listeners (and/or appreciation for John) Brad remains mired in apathy and anger, complaining that "the website" saw decreased traffic this week. (Note: John is not responsible for driving traffic to "the website" and does not promote "the website" on John's social accounts.)As with the start of A block - in which Brad refused to play the traditional Friday barbershop quartet intro - Brad chose bitterness and petulance, ending the show early. Originally aired May 1, 2026.Each weekday Brad Hildebrand and John Combest get together for an hour - listen live on 104.5 FM in St. Charles County, west St. Louis County, Franklin County and Warren County Missouri from 7-8 a.m. Central.Streaming at https://westplextalk.com/streaming/Full episode summaries at https://www.instagram.com/bjshowafterglow/Find the YouTube versions at bjshow.usFollow the Westplex Talk Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571949107480Show audio files can be found at https://bjshow.coTo purchase ads on Westplex Talk go to https://westplexads.comJohn Combest’s daily Missouri political news website at https://johncombest.comJohn's book on stalking, harassment, and internet/social media trolling is available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Stalking-Harassment-Internet-Trolling-Recovering/dp/B0BQ9JB3WR/
