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.

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.

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!
