This week on This Can’t Be Real with Brad, things somehow get even more chaotic as Brad reacts to a funeral turning into a full-blown family inheritance battle before grandma was even buried. Relatives are fighting over recliners, air fryers, and casserole dishes while Uncle Randy nearly throws hands in the parking lot beside the hearse.

Then Brad dives into the story of a cheating husband whose own pet parrot exposed his affair by repeatedly yelling another woman’s name around the house like a feathery FBI informant. The bird becomes the ultimate snitch, turning a tropical pet into relationship-ending evidence.

And finally, Brad breaks down the story of a criminal trying to hide from police in a restaurant ceiling… only to crash through the tiles into the women’s restroom like WWE’s Undertaker making an entrance nobody asked for.

Along the way, Brad goes on hilarious tangents about Southern funerals, Tyler Perry movie energy, parrots living forever, raccoon-level hiding spots, and why no criminal plan should involve ceiling tiles above a toilet.

The first-ever episode of Hope You Know It is officially underway, and Brad is kicking things off with a dream years in the making: a trivia showdown featuring some seriously impressive contestants. Joined by co-host and The Floor Season 5 champion Lauren Samet, Brad welcomes a lineup that includes a Jeopardy contestant, a game show veteran who's appeared on everything from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to The Floor, and one brave underdog willing to take on the trivia giants.

What starts as a trivia competition quickly turns into a hilarious game night filled with stories from Jeopardy, behind-the-scenes game show secrets, embarrassing personal confessions, birthday party disasters, quiz bowl memories, poop discussions, and enough random tangents to make Ken Jennings nervous.

Along the way, contestants battle through categories like Oddities, Play the Record, And the Winner Is..., Common Bonds, Potpourri, and The HopeCast Network, while Brad attempts to prove he can hang with the trivia experts in a special bad movie showdown.

It's part trivia show, part comedy podcast, and part game night with friends—complete with wrong answers, unexpected victories, questionable clue writing, and plenty of laughs.

In this encouraging episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe explores the powerful story of Joseph and reminds listeners that some of life's deepest wounds come not from enemies, but from people they trusted most. Looking at Genesis 37, Brad unpacks Joseph's betrayal at the hands of his own brothers and challenges the common assumption that following God should always lead to an easier path.

Using the story of Walt Disney—who was once told he lacked imagination and faced multiple business failures before building one of the world's most influential companies—Brad highlights how setbacks, rejection, and disappointment are often part of a bigger story. He draws a compelling parallel between Disney's early struggles and Joseph's journey from the pit to the palace.

Throughout the episode, Brad encourages listeners to stop viewing difficult seasons as punishment and start seeing them as preparation. He contrasts "pit people," who allow pain to make them bitter, with "purpose people," who trust that God is still working even when life doesn't make sense. The message culminates in Joseph's famous declaration: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good," reminding listeners that God can redeem even the deepest betrayals and use them for a greater purpose.

If you're walking through disappointment, a closed door, or a season that feels unfair, this episode offers hope that the pit isn't the end of the story—it may just be the beginning of what God is preparing you for.
