He promises “plenty of new therapy inducing opportunities during our audience participation segments. I don’t want to give too much away, but this time we’re going to play a little game.”

Brown has a knack for mixing together science, music, and food in to two hours of pure entertainment. “Plus, you’ll see things I’ve never been allowed to do on TV.”
