In this lively conversation, Brad Lowe sits down with author Abbey Nieman to explore the inspiration behind her book Radiant Joy, rooted in Psalm 34 and a deep pursuit of joy through faith. They unpack how seeking God, listening for His voice, and showing up authentically—especially in life's messier moments—can lead to unexpected growth and transformation. Abbey shares her journey of embracing change, stepping outside her comfort zone, and discovering the beauty of community and connection along the way. Blending spiritual insight with fun personal stories, the two also dive into Texas culture staples like Whataburger, high school memories, and college love stories. From carnivore diet adventures to the power of love languages, this episode is a reminder that joy is often found in the everyday, and our stories—shared honestly—can truly inspire others.Follow Abbey here:https://www.instagram.com/abbey.nieman/Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

This week the guys welcome Hannah back to the show to talk about the not Elton John movie RocketMan from 1997. They talk about Harland Williams and his leading role, the monkey of course. Brad asks Hannah if she could survive with just Troy for 8 months and Brad summarizes that Jacob and him would just talk movies for 8 months. They also wonder what would happen if the astronauts slept for 8 months and Harland Williams made them his puppets. Troy gets his opportunity to pitch to Hannah and he blows it but it leads to the guys singing Elvis Presley. While Troy says he doesn't have Hannah's number and what if he was sending voice texts to Producer Gary.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Follow Movie Torture here:https://www.instagram.com/movietorturepod/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

In this episode of TV Tortured Together, Jacob and Laura take a dive—well, Laura lounges—into the world of Married with Children, where Al Bundy proves once again that failure is his love language. Between launching the worst shoe hotline since… ever, and having Peggy's credit cards seized like a suburban mafia bust, the Bundys are back and as dysfunctional as ever. Laura confesses she can't swim, which is fine because neither could Al—financially, emotionally, or otherwise. The courtroom scene is peak chaos, the commercial looks like it was filmed on a potato, and yet somehow, that iconic theme song still slaps.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

In this episode of Movie Torture the guys talk about how MTD is still missing so they willingly subject themselves to Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man—a film so drenched in denim, leather, and 90s angst, it could singlehandedly raise your cholesterol. With Mickey Rourke brooding like a biker philosopher and Don Johnson smirking his way through existential shootouts, the film serves up a plot that's equal parts bromance, betrayal, and budget-busting nonsense. The hosts dive deep into the chaos—dodging bad dialogue like stray bullets—and unpack themes of loyalty, absurd action, and why naming your movie after two brands doesn't automatically make it cool. From there, they spiral into a hilarious rating game, comparing cinematic highs and lows like The Matrix (a masterpiece) and its sequels (a tax on fans). With plenty of sarcastic banter, IMDb guesswork, and nostalgia-fueled hot takes, the episode transforms bad cinema into great entertainment. By the end, it's clear: sometimes, the best part of a movie is talking about how much it hurt—and laughing about it with friends who feel the same.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Follow Movie Torture here:https://www.instagram.com/movietorturepod/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

In this hilarious and heartfelt classic episode, Brad kicks things off by admitting he once fell asleep mid-conversation with his wife—an elite level of marital confidence. He's joined by sports journalist Allison Mastrangelo, who somehow survived growing up in a family-owned shoe store (where foot odor was just part of the décor) and parlayed that experience into a career covering the Super Bowl. They dive into the weird world of press conferences, awkward locker room interviews, and the fine art of pretending the teleprompter didn't just betray you on live TV. Allison shares stories from her high school surf team days, proving you can be chill and chase deadlines. Together, they tackle journalism's biggest truths: the industry is wild, relationships matter, and yes, you absolutely should "shoot your shot"—unless it's a half-court one during a live segment, then maybe don't.Follow Alison Here:https://www.instagram.com/alisonm_tv/?hl=enhttps://twitter.com/AlisonWSBhttps://www.facebook.com/AlisonMastrangeloWSB/https://www.tiktok.com/@alisonm_tv?lang=enCheckout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

In this episode of Movie Torture, the gang wonders again where MTD is and then takes a scenic detour from cinematic disasters to share vacation stories, accidental lawsuits, and why assigned seating in movie theaters turns mild-mannered adults into territorial gremlins. Things spiral quickly (as usual), from popcorn politics to an oddly heated debate over Jack Black—who, depending on who you ask, is either a comedic genius or Hollywood's favorite chaotic neutral. Legal drama bubbles up over a podcast name dispute, leading to a discussion about branding, intellectual property, and whether “Movie Torture” is technically false advertising (because the laughs are too good). The conversation weaves through Minecraft's plotless world, Hollywood's obsession with reboots, and how casting comedians can either save a movie—or turn it into a fever dream. As always, the hosts blend their hot takes with hot messes, creating a perfect storm of humor, pop culture analysis, and just enough absurdity to make you wonder how we ended up debating Jack Black's salary in a children's film adaptation of a game with no story. Spoiler: it's exactly the kind of chaos you come here for.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Follow Movie Torture here:https://www.instagram.com/movietorturepod/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

Jodi Thomas joins Ashley on this week's episode and she is the unsung Cupid of Love Island USA, and she spends up to eight months scouring bars, festivals, and the darkest corners of Instagram to find that perfect mix of charm, abs, and emotional availability. Her job? To separate the genuinely interesting from the “here for the brand deal” crowd. Contrary to popular belief, she's not out to cast villains — unless, of course, that villain cries on camera and shows personal growth by week six. With reality TV evolving into a bizarrely empathetic space where aftercare is real and mental health check-ins are more common than hot tub hookups, Jodi's casting philosophy boils down to one thing: give viewers real people who make real mistakes, preferably in swimwear.Follow Jodi here:https://www.instagram.com/jodicasting/Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Follow the show here:https://www.instagram.com/loxoflaughspodcast/https://www.instagram.com/thatsashleyskitchen/

On this week's Hopecast, David Chadwick and Jenn Houston continue their discussion with high school senior Granger Bartee, this week focusing on the challenges of keeping one's faith in a new college environment. 

In this locked and hilariously loaded episode of TV Tortured Together, Jacob and Laura, with special guest Brad (a man who definitely wouldn't last 60 minutes in jail), shank their way into the chaotic world of 60 Days In. They unpack the sheer madness of signing up voluntarily to go to prison—because apparently, reality TV has replaced therapy. From inmates sniffing out undercover volunteers like bloodhounds to the baffling absence of a theme song (seriously, not even a harmonica?), the trio explores everything from prison politics to Brad's brilliant new game show idea: Prison Code, where one wrong look gets you voted off the cellblock. They touch on COVID's wild impact behind bars, the questionable appeal of the cash prize (how much is enough to fake-snore through bunk bed shankings?), and sprinkle in personal tales that make you grateful for your couch and freedom. It's a riotous blend of deep thoughts, dark humor, and one too many toilet wine jokes.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

Plus the topic of bath bombs gets brought up and MTD is disgusted that his son wants to make bath bombs. Brad talks about wanting a hot tub and Jacob says he would sit in the hot tub with Brad as long as it's spacious. Jets and space are always needed.

In this hilarious episode of TV Tortured Together, Jacob and Laura tumble headfirst into the delightfully chaotic world of Mr. Bean—because who needs dialogue when you've got pure, unfiltered mayhem? From underwear mix-ups in the laundromat to a mini golf game that turns into a city-wide scavenger hunt, they relive the slapstick glory that makes Mr. Bean a universal treasure (and a menace to public order). Jacob gives the hauntingly monk-like theme music a solid 8, while Laura—ever the realist—hands it a lukewarm 4.5 and demands more musical substance. They sprinkle in some personal TV tales, express heartfelt thanks to their loyal listeners, and give a very special shoutout to Laura's mom, the MVP of their audience and possibly the only reason Jacob behaves on mic.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

On this week's episode, Brad is joined by Pro Poker Player, Lydia Blair and she starts by letting Brad know she learned to play poker at 12, courtesy of her uncle, who believed Texas Hold'em was a more valuable life skill than, say, geometry. Growing up in Texas, where legal poker lives in shadowy private clubs with more rules than a Baptist bake sale, she found her groove in amateur leagues—basically fight clubs with chips and less blood. Lydia prefers live poker over online because she trusts people's twitchy eyebrows more than internet bots. While the poker world still has a serious dude imbalance, Lydia's been helping tilt the gender scales—one raised eyebrow and well-timed bluff at a time. She's played in everything from low-stakes bar tourneys to the World Series of Poker, where even the best players lose more often than they win (but look cool doing it). Then came Million Dollar Secret on Netflix, where Lydia—dubbed the “mom friend” of the cast—faced psychological evaluations, cutthroat alliances, and surprisingly decent craft services. She prepped like a pro, studying negotiation tactics and body language as if the prize were national security clearance. The reality show was tightly controlled, full of unspoken rules, unspoken tension, and very spoken drama. Lydia learned that age dynamics matter, elimination is savage, and talking about poker winnings makes people ask for loans. Whether reading a bluff or a backstab, Lydia knows the game is always about people—and she's playing to win, even if the prize is just peace and quiet.Follow Lydia here:https://www.instagram.com/lydiatexasgrandma/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/Follow the show here:⁠https://www.instagram.com/workadviceforme/⁠Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify.This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Network

On this episode of TV Tortured Together, hosts Jacob and Laura trade sweet tea for dry wit as they dive headfirst into the awkward brilliance of the British Office. They kick things off with a detour into the jailhouse drama of 60 Days In(because what pairs better with corporate misery than prison?), then launch into a hilarious deep-dive comparing British and American humor — spoiler: one's dry and cringe, the other's loud and cringe. From the infamous stapler-in-jelly incident to the soul-crushing downsizing memo, they unpack iconic moments that make you laugh and wince in equal measure. They dissect the uncomfortable charm of David Brent, the bromantic dysfunction of David and Gareth, and why Tim's torment of Gareth makes Jim look like a gentle prank fairy. Add in a theme song that's somehow both memorable and meaningless, and you've got an office tour that's painfully relatable, awkwardly hilarious, and—thankfully—only three seasons long.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

In a hilariously honest and insight-packed chat, Ashley Arpel Steinback and Scotty Mullen dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of casting—where self-tapes reign supreme, headshots lie more than dating profiles, and directors stitch together Oscar-worthy performances from actors who can barely emote past “mildly confused.” Scotty, who went from PR pro to Sharknado survivor (yes, that Sharknado), spills behind-the-scenes secrets about why casting directors don't care if you flub a line, why the slate is just your cinematic nametag, and why you absolutely should submit that audition—even if you're wearing pajama pants and existential dread. He shares how persistence pays off, how he loves finding diamonds in non-union roughs, and how one actress went from pole-dancing villainess to hard-nosed detective, all thanks to someone believing in her talent. Oh, and Scotty's also prepping for a summer in Spain—because nothing says “I survived casting” like tapas and siestas.Follow Scotty here:https://www.instagram.com/scottymullen/Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Follow the show here:https://www.instagram.com/loxoflaughspodcast/https://www.instagram.com/thatsashleyskitchen/

One department store. Two opinions.

Laura's fully onboard the Grace Brothers train (and possibly driving it), while Jacob wonders if it's time to derail. They debate whether retail ever looked this ridiculous, rate the theme song like it's Eurovision, and ultimately agree: this show is a chaotic gem that America could never quite copy.
