== Conceit and Performance ==
The Good, The Bad, & The Geeky was a podcast that frequently served as an opened for Radio Hour for several years. Run by Nick Arganbright, it heavily featured Nathan Haley and Jerome Wetzel, as well. Nathan developed the Bro Code game for GBG.
It was decided on a whim to have Keith Jackson join Nathan on stage and improv their way through a round of the game as Pat Shock and Gus Goodall. Jerome also appeared as "chunky guy" pulled 'from the audience' to play, and Nick was named as an intern, Nick Sanchez.
The game at first ended in a tie after two rounds, with Pat and Nick paired against Gus and Jerome. Each player took turns giving the other clues. The point was to say a word that fit the clues, but substitute the 'o' sound in the word with 'bro.' So Oklahoma would be said Bro-klahoma. Jerome and Gus won the Bro-nus round.
"Bro Code" was actually performed before the third episode, "Owning Up," though at the same monthly show. However, since the first three episodes of Morning Show were a three-part story, "Bro Code" was released just after "Owning Up" and appears after it in the online episode list, as well.
There was some thought that this episode might be considered canon and part of the first Morning Show show-within-a-show. However, there were many departures from the story, such as people being called by their real names instead of character names, references to the character of Tokaladie from another segment, and a list of music titles, including an in-joke about the song "It's All Been Done" by the Barenaked Ladies. Also, it wasn't done in such a way that made sense for a radio show, especially when speaking to the audience, so Jerome decided this could not count as canon.
== Trivia ==
Keith Jackson suggests music for each live show, and so the songs he named in "Bro Code" are the ones he had already associated with this live performance.Category:MS Season 1
