On this episode of “Brian Knows…”

Brian and Gavin storm the Hughesville Bargain Barns Toy & Comic Expo armed with microphones, questionable judgment, and absolutely zero self-control.

They jump into conversations with vendors and collectors who proudly own more action figures than adult responsibilities. Expect childhood toy confessions, rare-find hype, a surprise drop-in from a past fan-favorite guest, and at least one moment where Brian almost buys something he’ll definitely regret later… while Gavin cheers him on like a chaotic little enabler.

Also, Gavin blows his entire lunch budget. It’s fine. He has no regrets.

Tune in—this is the only part of the expo that won’t cost you money.

***LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

This episode of Brian Knows contains discussion of very personal and sensitive experiences, including themes related to trauma, harm, and recovery.

Some portions of this conversation may be difficult to hear and may not be suitable for all audiences. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

This is the most emotionally powerful episode of Brian Knows… to date. Over pulled pork sandwiches and cheese curls, I sit down with my buddy Tony, a former ride-share driver whose time behind the wheel led to stories he’ll never forget—and now, neither will you. From tragedy, heartbreak and loss to quiet moments of connection and resilience, Tony opens up with raw honesty about the people he met and the impact they had on him. It’s a deeply human conversation that reminds us how much can happen in a simple car ride.

New Episode Alert

Brian knows Jonathan - Pokémon & Pastries

This week on the Brian knows… Podcast, I sit down with my buddy Jonathan—a man whose Pokémon card collection is so massive, even Charizard’s getting nervous.

We’re talkin’ holo Charizards, obscure Japanese promos, and how Jonathan once pulled a legendary card and a hamstring in the same week. This guy’s binder is thicker than a waffle, and somehow, he’s managed to not eat a single one by mistake.

What’s fueling this Poké-chat? None other than donuts and a breakfast egg roll—because breakfast is the most important meal of the duel.

So come for the collectibles, stay for the fried dough and chaotic nostalgia.
