Fresh off their Scottish adventure, Amanda, Tyler, and James dive back into the pod with jet-lagged brains and plenty of stories. Tyler kicks things off with a brain-sparking thought, Amanda’s new phone continues to betray her, and the trio recounts their trip—featuring a 9-year-old with a black hole for a stomach, suspiciously odd water, and James' birthday bash with an unexpected twist. Along the way, they ponder nature’s weirdest mysteries (like… do trees fart?), share chaotic travel tales, and prove once again that even post-vacation, the nonsense is never on pause.

It’s a tech-tastrophe of epic proportions as Amanda kicks things off with a phone-induced meltdown, and James tries to play hero by unboxing and setting up his own new phone—live and totally unplanned, of course. In true Brain Dead fashion, things only escalate from there. Amanda throws some cinematic chaos into the mix with a showdown of silver screen legends: John Wayne vs. Clint Eastwood, and a fierce debate over who really was the best Bond. Meanwhile, Amanda and Tyler tease details of their upcoming trip, and James wrestles with audio issues that might as well have been sent by Q himself. Phones break, debates rage, chaos reigns—it’s the most Brain Dead episode yet.

Amanda, Tyler, James, and fan-favorite chaos agent Arson are back—and things go off the rails almost immediately with an unexpected deep dive into carrot culture. Tyler tests his ASMR skills (spoiler: we’re all uncomfortable), Amanda brings more Reddit oddities to the table, and a surprisingly passionate food debate breaks out over fries, snacks, and everything in between. But the real mayhem hits when Amanda launches another Rock Showdown—sparking musical opinions, vocal attempts, and some falsetto failures that cannot be unheard. Come for the fries, stay for the chaos, and try not to sing along. Or do. We won’t judge… much.

It’s business as unusual as Amanda, Tyler, and James plunge headfirst into a week full of toilet troubles, headphone woes, and questionable tech decisions. Amanda’s phone is on its last legs, Tyler made a new friend (allegedly), and James proves once again that brain dead moments and phones don’t mix. The crew takes a moment to reflect on the chaos of Episode 100, but not for long—Tyler asks a question, James follows it up with an even stranger one, and Amanda recaps an epic Nerf battle that left no foam dart behind. It’s next-level nonsense, with all the follow-up confusion you’ve come to expect.

Season 3 kicks off in true Brain Dead fashion as Amanda, Tyler, and James are joined once again by their favorite chaos agent, Arson! There are party favors (obviously), card-based questions, and very important debates—like how exactly a stegosaurus would wear a tie. Tyler and James rate fast food burgers with surprising passion, Amanda shares a heartwarming moment involving her favorite movie and her daughter, and Arson might be on the hook to run PR for the podcast (questionable decision, really). Amanda throws down another music showdown, James forces Arson to sit through a cinematic disaster, and Amanda drops a childhood story that even stuns Tyler. It’s a weird, wonderful start to a new season—exactly how it should be.

In this episode, Amanda, Tyler, and James are buzzing—literally and figuratively. Amanda kicks things off by recapping a week full of chaos, caffeine, and questionable decisions. Tyler gets hyped over an upcoming update to one of his favorite games, while James and Tyler take a quick dive into a short (but passionate) game rant. Amanda poses the ultimate superhero dilemma: Gotham or Metropolis—where would you survive longer? The trio also reacts to the announcement of Spaceballs 2, and Amanda shares some surprisingly wild historical coincidences. Spoiler: the coffee intake may have been too high this time.

Class is in session for Brain Dead 101! In this wildly on-brand episode, Amanda, Tyler, and James question whether James is entering Season 3 as Brain Dead 2.0. Tyler shares a work-related mishap that’s peak GBBD energy, while James recaps his heroic (and mildly tragic) return to the football field—complete with pain, pride, and a kitchen catastrophe to match. Things get extra spicy when Tyler reads from a steamy novel, Amanda throws down another Rock Showdown, and chaos reaches a new high when a Temu-induced tale leaves everyone questioning reality. Oh, and sneezing? Yeah… James has thoughts.
