A quadruple amputee professional corn holder shoots a passenger in his car in Charlottesville, then struggles to remove the body.

Bama Brown opens the episode by joking about the show's name origin, claiming it was decided on a drive to Sonic. He transitions to promoting his other show, Sports Cave Live, available on YouTube and podcast platforms. The main segment begins with a true crime story about James Weber, a quadruple amputee professional corn holder from Maryland, who shot and killed Michael Wells in Charlottesville, Virginia. Bama expresses confusion over how Weber, lacking limbs, managed the shooting and body disposal, speculating comically about cartoon-like scenarios. He then tells a dark joke about a woman with no arms and legs on a beach, highlighting the podcast's boundary-pushing humor. Bama reflects on how such content would trigger radio management, who would blame the dump button operator rather than the talent. He shares a specific incident where producer Eray's wire fell out while trying to cut a nasty caller, allowing it to air live. Bama explains that radio hosts often get in trouble when the dump button is overused and fails to recharge. He recounts a story about Scott Hainline, a sports guy in Curville, who accidentally said 'f and obituaries' during an obituary segment on air, leading to immediate termination. Another anecdote involves Hainline's ex-girlfriend throwing his potted plants off a balcony, but no action was taken because she was a high-paying client. Bama concludes by joking about needing to improve the show and references a 'Russian buddy Ivan' before signing off.
