  • Glossaries, Grievances & Gaelic-Level Chaos [135]
    Feb 25 2026

    Arson shows up fashionably late… which of course means Amanda, Tyler, and James take full advantage before he even gets a word in. James leans hard into an aggressively Scottish accent, Amanda expands the official GBBD glossary, and James brings fresh bank drama that raises serious questions about whether Tyler needs a backup lawyer. A suspicious handwriting fact rattles the room, Valentine’s Day spirals straight into Florida Man territory, and James recounts another run-in with AI. The crew ranks their top 10 Scottish insults with entirely too much enthusiasm, and Amanda wraps things up with a musical showdown that may or may not damage friendships. Loud, petty, and proudly chaotic.

  • Average Guy Energy: Nicknames, News & Nerdy Takes [134]
    Feb 18 2026

    This week’s chaos comes with big ‘average guy energy’ as Amanda, Tyler, and James dive into Scottish nicknames, a minor marriage tiff, and yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of Tyler and his excavator. Amanda learns what her height allegedly means (spoiler: she’s an average guy), Tyler is called out for laughing at wildly inappropriate times, and the group takes a detour through the random nonsense that somehow makes Icelandic news. The trio shares their thoughts on Fallout 76, then caps it all off with Amanda’s bold claim that Top Gear is basically a real-life version of GTA 5. Unhinged logic. Peak Brain Dead.

  • Phone Troubles, Slang Battles & Identity Crises [133]
    Feb 11 2026

    Amanda, Tyler, and James are joined by returning guest Tanja… or possibly a bot (the jury’s still out). James and Tyler go head-to-head over who had the worse phone disaster this week, Tanja gets a crash course in Scottish slang, and the group finally names the character Amanda designed. James asks Tanja for English lessons before dropping a list of the top songs from the year each of them was born, Amanda fills Tanja in on Tyler’s recent heartbreak, and things take a turn when Tanja realizes she’s been calling Tyler the wrong name this whole time. It’s chaotic, educational, and full of identity-shaking revelations.

  • Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow & A Dapper Mole-Rat [132]
    Feb 4 2026

    Amanda, Tyler, and James are joined once again by Arson, and chaos immediately follows. James shares a new podcast obsession, Amanda recounts a week that somehow included falling into a hole, getting burned, and getting cut—all of which inspires an impromptu rap from Arson. James attempts to name Tyler’s excavator, Tyler questions whether he possesses a sultry voice, and Amanda unleashes another questionable game for the boys. Things spiral into hair-loss confessions, ongoing follicle battles, and deep philosophical discussion about a dapper naked mole-rat and whether Amanda should design a bespoke fashion line for the male anatomy. It’s ridiculous, unhinged, and peak Brain Dead.

  • Brain Dead Trauma [131]
    Jan 28 2026

    This week’s trauma is mostly emotional… and occasionally automotive. Amanda, Tyler, and James are joined by Arson as Tyler mourns the tragic loss of a beloved family member, before the group spirals into tales of erotica gone very wrong. Amanda introduces the concept of an emergency shart kit, James points out the increasingly unhinged recording nicknames, and the mystery of the ‘sometimes Y guy’ finally gets attention. There’s a surprisingly deep dive into malaphors, an explanation of Amanda’s car-naming logic, and the crew comes together to build the perfect playlist to help Tyler cope. It’s chaotic, therapeutic, and exactly the wrong way to process trauma.

  • A Merry-Go-Round of Brain Dead [130]
    Jan 21 2026

    The chaos starts before the intro even finishes as Amanda, Tyler, James, and their favorite guest Arson each take a turn doing the opening—who nailed it (or failed spectacularly)? Arson dives headfirst into his first case as Tyler’s lawyer, James gives a very neck-y update, and Arson also reveals he’s fully embracing his ‘Unc phase.’ Amanda drops a list of hilariously named Scottish snowplows, then challenges the boys to a game of What’s That Song?, where chaos, bad guesses, and brain-dead moments are guaranteed. Hold on tight—it’s a ride you won’t forget!

  • WTF Moments, Ancient Wonders & Mangoose Warnings [129]
    Jan 14 2026

    Amanda opens the episode with a joke that sets the tone before the trio takes a trip back to the early days of social media and all the chaos that came with it. Things escalate quickly when Amanda shares an FML so unhinged it turns into a collective ‘WTF,’ James drags everyone down a Reddit spiral, and another rock showdown manages to irritate James yet again. Somewhere between learning questionable facts about pyramids and hearing a story that raises a very important question—Mangoose, do you fear it?—the episode fully embraces its brain dead destiny.

  • Pain, Paradoxes & Questionable Legal Advice [128]
    Jan 7 2026

    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.
