    Just Like Heaven (2005) - Movie Torture

    Brad revisits Just Like Heaven and breaks down a rom-com that asks one simple question: what if your roommate is a ghost… and also kind of the boss of you? The movie follows David (Mark Ruffalo), a sad, grieving guy just trying to reset his life, who moves into a new apartment—only to find Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon), a high-strung doctor, already “living” there… despite possibly not being alive. What starts as a bizarre roommate dispute quickly turns into a strange partnership as David realizes he’s the only one who can see her. Instead of doing the logical thing (leaving immediately), David sticks around—mostly because, as Brad points out, “she’s Reese Witherspoon.” The two go from arguing like a dysfunctional married couple to teaming up on a mission to uncover what happened to Elizabeth before it’s too late. Brad leans into the absurdity—calling out the wild decision-making (like casually living with a ghost), the awkward public conversations that make David look insane, and the ridiculous dynamic of being bossed around by someone who technically isn’t even on the lease. But underneath the chaos, he admits the movie has some charm, blending humor, emotion, and an unexpected love story. In the end, the mystery gets solved, Elizabeth comes back to life, and the film lands on its core message about connection—even if the journey there is weird.

    This Isn’t Home - Your Weekly Calling

    In this emotional and deeply personal episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe explores the tension between temporary satisfaction and eternal hope, reminding listeners that this world was never meant to fully fulfill the human soul. Using Philippians 3:20 and Revelation’s promise of heaven, Brad challenges the constant chase for more money, comfort, success, and approval that still somehow leaves people feeling empty. Brad shares heartfelt memories of his grandmother, who became a mother figure to him after the loss of his mom. He reflects on singing Amazing Grace together, learning about faith through her example, and the overwhelming realization that she would be 117 years old today if she were still alive. That personal story leads into a powerful reminder that, for believers, death is not the end—it’s temporary separation and ultimately the doorway home to Jesus. The episode also highlights a famous quote from Billy Graham about being “more alive” after death, using it to paint a picture of heaven-minded faith that stays anchored even when life feels overwhelming. Brad contrasts people who build their identity around temporary things with those whose hope is rooted in eternity, encouraging listeners to stop obsessing over what fades and start investing in what lasts forever.

    Beans, Bladders and Bad Decisions - The Floor Recap with Angie, Nicki and Brad

    This week on The Floor Recap, Angie, Brad, and Nicki dive headfirst into one of the weirdest episodes of the season — complete with bad strategy, bathroom trauma, awkward alliances, and Lance Armstrong apparently becoming the first man on the moon. The crew breaks down Morgan’s Renaissance Faire disaster, Beans surviving despite looking like he wandered out of a Disney Channel reboot, and Anthony somehow winning while still making Brad question the entire education system. The gang also debates whether Eric is secretly Darth Vader running a mind-control alliance, why nobody seems willing to challenge him, and whether contestants are literally panicking themselves into bad gameplay. Meanwhile, Ren casually wins $20,000 for doing almost nothing, Nicki reveals her deep fear of airplane bathrooms, and Brad launches into another legendary rant about contestants going back to the floor after only two wins. Add in soap operas, nuts, porta-potties, celebrity siblings, Sunday Toppings, and way too much discussion about bodily functions, and you’ve got one chaotic recap episode that somehow spirals further off the rails every five minutes.

  5. Bank Heist to Job Interview, 911 Fail, Cow Commute - This Can't Be Real...with Brad

    Bank Heist to Job Interview, 911 Fail, Cow Commute - This Can't Be Real...with Brad

    Brad is back questioning humanity again with three real stories that feel completely made up—but unfortunately aren’t. This episode leans hard into one theme: people aren’t even trying to get away with things anymore… they’re just seeing what happens. First up, a man robs a bank… then circles back and applies for a job there like it’s a normal career pivot. Brad dives into the confidence (and confusion) of committing a crime and then submitting a résumé to the same place—breaking down the imagined interview, the awkward recognition, and the absolute lack of long-term thinking. Then things somehow get even stranger when a guy calls 911 to report a dangerous driver… and it turns out he’s describing himself. Brad highlights the rare moment where someone becomes both the suspect and the witness, eliminating the need for any actual police work. Finally, the episode closes with a man getting pulled over—with a full-grown cow sitting in the backseat of his sedan. Not a truck. Not a trailer. A car. Brad unpacks the logistics, the smell, the poor life choices, and the moment an officer has to say, “Sir… it was definitely the cow.” Throughout the episode, Brad delivers his signature takes—“two types of people,” confidence without logic, and the realization that common sense might officially be gone. Bottom line: If your day feels off, at least you didn’t rob a bank and apply for a job there, call the cops on yourself, or turn your car into a mobile farm.

  6. Randy Zelin - Lox of Laughs

    Randy Zelin - Lox of Laughs

    n this intense and unexpectedly hilarious episode of Lox of Laughs, Ashley Arpel Steinback sits down with New York attorney Randy Zelin to unpack the controversy surrounding Ashley being removed from a South Florida comedy show after publicly expressing pro-Israel views online. What starts as a conversation about social media comments and stand-up bookings quickly turns into a deep dive into free speech, cancel culture, religion in entertainment, and whether people today have lost the ability to disagree without making things personal. Ashley brings the receipts, Randy brings the legal breakdowns, and somehow the episode still manages to include Capri Sun cravings, Manhattan bagels, jury strategy, and a running gag about Iron Dome Coffee discounts. The episode balances serious discussion with the signature Lox of Laughs energy, as Ashley argues that disagreement should not automatically destroy friendships, working relationships, or opportunities. Meanwhile, Randy explains how social media, public perception, and employment law collide in today’s culture—and why “we don’t align” may be the most lawyer-adjacent phrase ever written by ChatGPT. By the end, the conversation becomes less about one comedy show and more about modern society’s struggle to listen, learn, and coexist with people who think differently. Also: Randy may or may not have stolen the show with his “missing two chromosomes” line and perfectly timed callback jokes.

    Presence Over Position - Your Weekly Calling

    In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe dives deep into Psalm 84:10 and the powerful idea that God’s presence matters more than position. Brad challenges the mindset of constantly chasing the “next thing” and asks a hard question: What if the place you’re trying to leave is actually the place God wants to meet you? Using David’s picture of being a simple doorkeeper in God’s house, Brad unpacks the tension between success and surrender, platform and presence. Along the way, he reflects on a youth camp moment that changed how he understood the verse and connects it to a surprising quote from Jim Carrey about fame and emptiness. This episode pushes listeners to stop measuring life only by results and instead become people who pursue closeness with God above everything else. The message lands with a practical challenge to practice God’s presence in ordinary, unnoticed moments and to stop trying to escape seasons God may actually be using to deepen them.

    The Rip (2026) - Movie Torture

In this episode of Movie Torture, Brad breaks down how quickly things flip: Friends turn into suspectsConversations get awkward fastEveryone starts thinking two steps ahead… or at least they think they areAnd nobody trusts anybody Brad leans into the real tension of the movie — it’s not about stealing money, it’s about what happens after the money shows up. The paranoia, the quiet scheming, the side-eye moments where you realize the group isn’t a group anymore. He walks through the cast dynamics in his signature style: Ben Affleck trying to hold the chaos togetherMatt Damon making you question every move he makesAlicia Vikander being the only one saying what everyone should be thinking Along the way, Brad goes on classic tangents about: Why a duffel bag of money instantly destroys friendshipsHow everyone thinks they’re the smartest person in the roomAnd why situations like this never end the way people think they will The episode builds as Brad unpacks how small decisions turn into big problems, and how fast things spiral once trust is gone. By the time everything plays out, you’re left asking one question: Was it ever about the money… or was it always about what people were willing to do for it? Tune in for the full breakdown, the tangents, and the moments where Brad calls out exactly what everyone watching is thinking.
