Have you ever started reading the Bible, made it through Genesis and Exodus, and then hit Leviticus... only to stop? You're not alone. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad explores why one of the Bible's most overlooked books is actually one of its most important. Discover how the sacrifices, priests, and laws in Leviticus all point to Jesus, hear the incredible true story behind the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and learn a simple challenge that will change the way you read Scripture. Leviticus isn't just a book of rules—it's the story of a holy God making a way for broken people to draw near to Him.

Before God gave Israel the Ten Commandments, He reminded them who they were. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad dives into Exodus 19 to explore the powerful truth that God doesn't just rescue us from something—He rescues us for something. Discover why your identity comes before your calling, what it means to be carried "on eagles' wings," and how remembering whose you are can change every decision you make this week.

Standing at the edge of something new can be exciting—and terrifying. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad dives into Joshua 1 and the moment Joshua stepped into impossible shoes after the death of Moses. Through personal stories, a remarkable lesson from explorer Ernest Shackleton, and God's repeated command to "be strong and courageous," you'll discover that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God's presence in the middle of it. If you're facing a new chapter, a difficult decision, or an uncertain future, this episode is the reminder you need: the same God who walked with Joshua is walking with you.

This week on Your Weekly Calling, Brad shares a personal story about his wife finally pursuing a children's book she wrote eight years ago after putting the dream on hold because of finances. Through the incredible story of James Dyson—who built 5,127 failed prototypes before creating the vacuum that changed his life—you'll discover that a delayed dream isn't always a dead dream. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to take the next step, this episode is a reminder that God often works through seasons of waiting to prepare us for what's ahead.

Well... it finally happened.

After 137 episodes, Jacob disappeared.

No, he didn't die.

No, he didn't get abducted by aliens.

And despite what Brad claimed, he didn't punch Brad in the face over Joker 2... although listeners aren't ruling it out.

Enter Mark.

Brad claims he searched the globe for a new co-host. We assume that means he Googled "guy willing to watch terrible movies for free" and somehow Mark answered.

Within the first ten minutes, Mark had already:

• Been insulted by Jacob in the live chat.
• Learned Brad's nickname is "Baby Hands."
• Been introduced to MTD, who apparently trained Jason Voorhees... according to absolutely no verified historical records.

Then they actually tried talking about Little Brother...

...for about six minutes.

After that the episode somehow became:

• A Tom Hanks career retrospective.
• A Star Wars debate.
• A discussion about hologram concerts.
• Brad's traumatic Cast Away date where his date narrated the entire movie to the theater.
• Mark Wahlberg somehow getting cast in a movie he wasn't even in.
• And a serious investigation into whether John Cena accepted the role without reading the script.

Meanwhile, the actual movie sat quietly in the corner wondering if anyone remembered it existed.

The best part?

Mark fit in immediately. By the end of the episode he was already roasting the movie, questioning Netflix's budget, and politely wondering how they had spent nearly 35 minutes talking about literally everything except Little Brother. That's when you know he's officially part of Movie Torture.

We’re really good at chasing what’s next. We’re not always so good at celebrating what God has already done.

In Nehemiah 12, the wall is finally finished—and instead of immediately moving on to the next project, the people stop. They worship. They celebrate. They remember who got them there.

This week, Brad talks about why celebration isn’t wasted time—it’s an act of gratitude. From the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge to paying off $35,000 of debt to simply taking a “grateful walk,” sometimes we need to stop long enough to recognize just how far God has brought us.

Your calling this week: Before you chase the next thing, celebrate the last thing.

Take 10 minutes. Look back. Thank God. Celebrate His faithfulness.

Five minutes that can change your week. This is Your Weekly Calling.

This week on This Can’t Be Real with Brad, things somehow spiral from fast food frustration to full public humiliation. Brad breaks down the story of a man so angry at Taco Bell over his order that he returned later and released live crickets into the restaurant like he was starting the apocalypse over missing sauce packets. Then things get painfully awkward when a man accidentally rolls completely naked into a public car wash after trusting tinted windows way too much.

And finally, Brad reacts to a criminal genius who tried escaping police… in a canoe. Not a speedboat. Not a jet ski. A canoe. Leading to one of the slowest and dumbest getaway attempts imaginable while police casually watched from shore.

Along the way, Brad goes on hilarious tangents about Taco Bell revenge, Subaru stereotypes, men treating cars like apartments, awkward public nudity, and why no criminal should ever trust a paddle-powered escape plan. It’s another chaotic episode full of real stories that somehow sound completely made up.

Mark survived his first episode, so naturally he came back for another.

This time, Brad kicked things off with a travel story that somehow involved a near-missed flight, a greasy Bojangles biscuit that stained his shorts, and enough airport anxiety to make MTD's "arrive four hours early" philosophy sound completely reasonable.

Then they reviewed Halloween H20.

Except... they refused to call it Halloween H20.

Within minutes the movie had been permanently renamed Halloween Water, because apparently someone in Hollywood thought using the chemical formula for water was cooler than calling it Halloween 20 Years Later. Brad wasn't buying it.

Instead of discussing the plot, the guys immediately started pitching better movies.

What if Michael Myers went camping?

What if Michael Myers took a road trip across America?

What if Michael Myers stopped at Buc-ee's to carve brisket?

What if he worked the carving station wearing a hairnet while still carrying the same knife he'd been using for twenty years?

All of those somehow sounded more entertaining than the actual movie.

Then came the question nobody at the studio apparently asked:

How does Michael Myers get from Illinois to California?

This is before GPS.

Did he have an atlas?

Did he stop at a gas station and ask for directions?

Did he kill people just to pay for fuel?

Did he spend the night at a Motel 6?

These are the mysteries Movie Torture asks because Hollywood refuses to.

The movie itself didn't escape the criticism either.

Brad couldn't figure out why Michael Myers suddenly decides not to kill people he normally would.

Mark questioned how Laurie Strode somehow became the head of a private school after faking her identity.

Neither of them understood why the school supposedly had hundreds of students but only about six people ever appear on screen.

By the halfway point they'd also discussed Kevin Williamson, Dawson's Creek, Josh Hartnett's permanently messy hair, LL Cool J's career, Rocky, The Muppet Show, and whether Michael Myers secretly wakes up every October 31st like a bear coming out of hibernation thinking, "Guess it's time to go find Laurie again."

Somewhere in there they did eventually talk about Halloween Water.

Not much.

But enough to conclude that twenty years of waiting somehow produced a movie where the funniest part wasn't Michael Myers...

...it was imagining him asking a stranger for directions to California.
