    Stop Drifting. Start Building. - Your Weekly Calling

    This week, Brad challenges a hard truth: most people don’t have a faith problem—they have a priority problem. Anchored in Psalm 119:1–16, the episode explores the difference between intending to follow God and actually building a life around His Word. Brad unpacks how Scripture repeats words like law, commands, and statutes to emphasize one central idea: a blessed, grounded life is built on alignment with God’s Word—not accidental effort. Using the powerful example of codebreakers at Bletchley Park led by Alan Turing, he illustrates that access to a message isn’t enough—what matters is understanding it and acting on it. Lives were saved because they didn’t just hear the message—they built everything around it. The same is true spiritually. God’s Word isn’t just information—it’s direction, warning, and life. But too often, it gets treated like optional reading instead of daily oxygen. Brad closes with a practical 7-Day Word Build Challenge: read Psalm 119:1–16 each day, memorize one verse, and actively apply it. The goal? Stop drifting and start building a faith that’s rooted, intentional, and lived out daily. Big Takeaway: You don’t drift into strong faith—you build it by anchoring your life in God’s Word.

    The Devil Wears Prada (2006) - Movie Torture

    Brad opens with, “I watched a movie…” and this one hits different — not because of action or twists, but because it slowly turns a dream job into something way more intense. In this episode of Movie Torture, Brad dives into The Devil Wears Prada, where a young woman lands the opportunity of a lifetime… and realizes almost immediately that something is off. What looks like success on the outside quickly feels like survival on the inside. Brad leans into the central tension: This isn’t a normal workplaceNobody helps youNobody relaxesAnd one person controls the entire room without raising her voice He breaks down the environment in his signature way — calling it less of a job and more of a high-pressure, no-smile, whisper-driven system where every move matters. The second the boss walks in, everything changes. Conversations stop, energy shifts, and people start moving like they’re trying not to get noticed. Brad walks through the characters: Anne Hathaway trying to keep up in a world she was never prepared forMeryl Streep running everything with quiet, calculated intensityEmily Blunt operating at a stress level that never drops Along the way, Brad goes on classic tangents about: Why hiring someone and then refusing to train them makes no senseHow quickly people adapt to toxic environments and start acting like it’s normalAnd how easy it is to lose yourself when success starts demanding more than you expected The episode builds around one big question: How far do you go to “make it”… and when do you realize it’s costing you too much? As the pressure rises and expectations get more unrealistic, Brad unpacks how small compromises start stacking up — until the person at the beginning of the movie doesn’t look the same anymore. If you’ve ever chased something you thought you wanted… this one hits differently. Tune in for the full breakdown, the tangents, and Brad calling out the moments that make you stop and think, “yeah… that’s not normal.”

    All Ladies and no Gentleman - The Floor Recap with Angie, Nicki and Brad

    *this episode has technical difficulties* This week on The Floor Recap, the show flips the script in a big way—an all-women episode takes over, and it brings a completely different energy to the game. Angie, Brad, Nicki, and Ashley break down a night where the women didn’t just compete—they controlled the board, built strategic territory, and kept things surprisingly respectful (no meltdowns, no chaos… well, mostly). From a tight and controversial medical duel to an underestimated emoji showdown, this episode had its share of moments that made you question the rules—and the strategy. Add in a recycled-but-tough Oregon Trail category, a frustrating “Iconic Eyes” round, and another round of questionable “go back to the floor” decisions, and you’ve got a recap full of strong opinions. Oh—and the alliance storyline? Still here. Still confusing. Still very much a thing. If nothing else, this episode proves one thing: when the women take over, the game feels very different.

    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/

    The Quick and the Dead (1996) - Movie Torture

    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.

    When Blessings Make You Blind - Your Weekly Calling

    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.

    No Tattoos, No Time Boost, No Plan - The Floor Recap with Angie, Nicki and Brad

    Angie, Brad, and Nicki are joined by Season 4 champ Ashley for a recap that somehow starts with tattoos and ends with prunes, charcoal, and one very unexpected question. The episode opens with a marathon tattoo duel, immediately exposing the divide on the show. Angie and Ashley proudly rep their tattoos, while Brad and Nicki are firmly on team no ink. Brad doubles down on never getting a tattoo, and Nicki makes it clear she’s not built for needles. Meanwhile, Angie and Ashley sound ready to step in and win the category themselves. From there, the dreaded Roman Empire category continues to get avoided like it’s cursed. Nobody wants it, nobody claims it, and it keeps getting passed around the floor. Taj defends “Sunday Toppings,” which leads to a full debate about granola on ice cream. The group agrees this should not be happening. Then the episode takes a turn during the Home Remedies duel. Brad leans all the way into the category, bringing up prunes and charcoal as real-life remedies. That alone would’ve been enough—but then Brad takes it one step further and asks the group if they’ve ever used charcoal… specifically for farting. The conversation immediately goes off the rails, with reactions ranging from confusion to concern, and it becomes one of the funniest moments of the episode. Meanwhile, Eric continues to be the biggest question mark on the floor. He passes multiple times, chooses not to use his time boost, and still manages to win. Ashley and the crew question whether it’s strategy or luck, especially as his confidence continues to outpace his execution. Mike and Tim stay active in the chat throughout, adding commentary, backing takes, and basically functioning as unofficial co-hosts during the episode. Victor shines in “Home Remedies,” “peroxide-gate” sparks a rules debate, and the episode wraps with a rough dance movies duel, where several obvious answers are missed and the frustration level rises. In the end, it’s a mix of close duels, bold confidence, questionable decisions, and a moment that no one expected: a serious conversation about charcoal… and farting.
