All Things LOVE: Prostitution, searching for love with ex-sex worker Melissa a.k.a. Amazon Goddess

We can only fully understand love when we gain perspective and hear the stories of those who need it the most. Nina invites former “Stereo” co-host and friend Amazon Goddess to tell her story of a broken home that led to being a sex-worker. This interview aims to foster understanding, and empathy, like what Jesus lead with when he sat at the table with sinners. We have way more in common with each other then we realize. You’re invited to listen with an open mind as we explore the complexities of life and the convictions of our hearts.

The Quick and the Dead (1996)

Brad opens with, “I watched a movie…” and this one immediately raises questions — mainly, why does an entire town think the best way to solve problems is to shoot each other at noon? In this episode of Movie Torture, Brad dives into The Quick and the Dead, where daily life revolves around a dueling tournament with one simple rule: win… or you’re done. What should feel like a Western turns into something way more chaotic — a town where death is basically part of the schedule. Brad leans into the absurdity right away: People casually gather to watch shootouts like it’s entertainmentNewcomers would immediately realize something is very wrongAnd somehow, this is treated like normal community life He breaks down the cast dynamics with his usual energy: Sharon Stone rolling in with a clear mission and unfinished businessGene Hackman running the town like he enjoys every second of the chaosLeonardo DiCaprio bringing confidence that doesn’t match the situationRussell Crowe just trying to exist in the middle of it all As the episode builds, Brad highlights what makes the movie stand out: The over-the-top duels with dramatic standoffs and drawn-out tensionCharacters treating life-or-death moments like performancesAnd the constant feeling that nobody is making normal decisions Of course, Brad goes off on tangents about: Why this might be the worst town to ever move intoHow every disagreement somehow turns into a shootoutAnd why adding flair to a duel is the last thing anyone should be doing At its core, the episode keeps circling one idea: What happens when a place normalizes chaos… and nobody questions it? As the story unfolds, motives become clearer, revenge comes into focus, and every duel carries more weight than the last. But through it all, Brad keeps calling out the same thing — this world makes no sense, and that’s exactly what makes it so watchable. Tune in for the full breakdown, the tangents, and Brad reacting in real time to a movie that fully commits to its own ridiculous rules.

Alligator Drive-Thru & Bathroom Nightmares - This Can't Be Real...with Brad

In this episode of This Can’t Be Real, Brad dives headfirst into animal-induced chaos that somehow actually happened. From a man throwing a live alligator through a Wendy’s drive-thru window, to a monkey knocking out power for an entire area, to a nightmare scenario involving a snake in a toilet—this episode proves that animals and bad decisions are a dangerous combination. With real-time reactions, no script, and the signature “This Can’t Be Real” scale, Brad breaks down each story, questioning how any of this is possible—and why it keeps happening. Three stories. All real. All completely unhinged. And somehow… it only gets worse. Follow the show and leave your stories here: https://www.instagram.com/cantberealpod/

When Blessings Make You Blind

Success isn’t always the win you think it is. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad unpacks a warning most people overlook—success can slowly pull you away from the very God who got you there. When life is hard, we pray. When life is good, we drift. Walking through Book of Deuteronomy 8:17–18, Brad breaks down how easy it is to shift from “God did this” to “I did this”—and why that mindset can quietly impact your spiritual life. You’ll also hear the story of John D. Rockefeller—a man who had everything the world offers but lost peace along the way—and how it took a breaking point to realign what mattered most. In This Episode:Why success can be more spiritually dangerous than failureHow pride sneaks in when life starts going rightThe subtle shift from dependence on God to dependence on selfWhy gratitude has to be intentional—not accidental This Week’s Challenge:Look back at what God has done in your lifeThank Him specifically (not vaguely)Restart one habit: prayer, scripture, or generosity Key Takeaway:If you forget God in the good seasons, you’ll eventually need Him in the hard ones again. Closing Thought:Your calling isn’t just about where you’re going— it’s about who you remember along the way. Don’t Miss This:If this episode hit you, make sure you follow, subscribe, and leave a review.

Primate (2026)

On this episode of Movie Torture, Brad and Jacob kick things off by roasting MTD for buying a Honda Civic like he just joined the underground street racing scene at age 87. From there, the show immediately derails into couch trauma, Fear Factor takes, and whether Jacob’s dark lighting setup makes him look more like a Dateline informant or a full-blown rat. Then the boys finally get to Primate, a movie they were way too excited for, only to discover it’s basically a rich family drama interrupted by a chimp in a Party City suit going absolutely feral. Along the way, Brad gives a one-minute synopsis that somehow includes rabies, deaf dads, Deadpool guys getting face-ripped, and the phrase “dead monkey, bad monkey,” while Jacob rightfully asks why a horror movie in 2026 still has ten straight minutes of unsubtitled sign language. They also debate whether the monkey is CGI or just Troy in a fur suit, whether chimps can swim, whether a pet monkey is a power move or a facial reconstruction waiting to happen, and whether MTD would ride a Walmart scooter just for the free parking. By the end, the monkey is ripping jaws off, scalping pool girls, handing out body parts like party favors, and somehow the only people who live are the ones who absolutely deserved to die. In short: Primate is a movie where everyone reaches for their phones, nobody grabs a knife, and Brad and Jacob somehow spend just as much time talking about monkey murder, Czech Cola, and Komodo dragons at Walmart as they do the actual plot.
