Well, it's almost Groundhog Day... tomorrow... Who cares if Puxatony Phil will see his shadow! The question is: who will listen to The Real Brian Show? Those that listen will get Spring early!

We're back and we have some fun things to talk about this week! We'll share our thoughts on The Orville and Star Trek Discovery seasons 2 (so far).

SURPRISE! I said we weren't going to do an episode this week, but I happened to have a few extra minutes, so I’m doing a super short episode!! It's a solo episode as Captain Influence was out saving the galaxy. Really... he is... he's at least saving me from the lemon pledge. I wanted to share two things that I was so excited about!!! The first one is a piece of encouragement for you! The other is...

Well, it’s still 2019… sometimes I wonder: Do you ever wake up and think that you’ve time traveled and end up in the year 3019?  I know I do. Today, as always, we will be nerding out, helping you to level up your nerdy eclectic life.  We've got a movie review (Spider-Man), some entertainment talk, not so shallow musings, and I think we may just continue on last week’s discussion a little bit… than...

Resolutions, Goals, and Movies Happy New Year, you filthy animals! Now that it’s 2019… it’s time to go big! It’s gonna be a GREAT year for all of us!

We even get a little into living in the past (and causing depression/discouragement), b...

To bring you the ultimate Christmas Episode, we need a fantastic quartet. Shear Terror and JonnyPistolShot join The Real Brian and Captain Influence to dig their fingers into the holiday spirit.

So, do as Shear Terror suggests and: “Put on Onesie and give up...

What do you get when you pack the Queen of Ice, a Real Brian and a Captain of Influence in the same podcast? The most random opening to an episode you will EVER hear. That is a promise.

In This Episode The most random crap you'll ever hear Christm...

We're not here for your entertainment, you really don't want to mess with us tonight... Actually, scratch that.

We're going...

There is much to be thankful for this season, and we'll brush over a few in our lives! Also, tune in for a review of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald! And there's no better way to have that conversation than to welcome back the Green Butterfly.

Our favorite dentist steps back into the ring to exchange friendly jabs with Brian! In this episode we’re talking about how sometimes we see something unfolding in front of us and think, hey… I can do it better!

Can you see the good in bad? It can be one of the most difficult and rewarding challenges in life. Not to live in the past, but learn from it. Not to obsess over mistakes, but grow because of them.
