James kicks things off with a joke that sets the tone, then Amanda recounts a recent run-in with The Bad that immediately raises concerns about Tyler needing a lawyer. AI shows up purely to roast James, Amanda launches into a mini game rant, and the group discovers why James is—once again—in pain. Things wrap up with a surprisingly deep question: if you only had one round-trip in a time machine, how badly would you mess up the timeline? It’s chaotic, speculative, and full of advice you should absolutely not take.

The new year starts exactly how you’d expect—with absolutely no adult supervision. Amanda, Tyler, and James are joined by Arson to debate whether Amanda completely botched the intro, revisit some late Christmas content, and unveil a surprise that sends the group spiraling. The infamous Christmas curse refuses to stay in December as bad internet connections cause panic and prove what happens when the teacher leaves the room unattended. Somewhere along the way, the gang tries (and fails) to pinpoint the exact moment this show went off the rails. New year, same chaos, zero control.

It’s a full-on Brain Dead Christmas as Amanda, Tyler, and James are joined by their favorite festive troublemaker, Arson. Tyler kicks things off by explaining why Iceland might be the most generous Nordic nation, Amanda takes aim at a certain Christmas song, and the gang dives into some truly odd holiday traditions. Tyler somehow ends up transporting everything from food to toilets, James hosts a Christmas movie showdown, and—because it wouldn’t be December without it—the Christmas curse makes its dramatic return. Add in Fear Factor nostalgia, earbud chaos, behind-the-scenes scheming, and Tyler’s surprisingly ambitious coffee shop dream, and you’ve got a holiday episode packed with chaos, laughs, and questionable ideas. Merry Brain Dead Christmas.
