    Last Game Day

    In this laid-back episode, we dive into a chaotic mix of random conversations, unexpected tangents, and plenty of laughs before wrapping things up with a high-energy final word game. From off-the-cuff thoughts to oddly deep discussions that come out of nowhere, the episode captures the fun of just talking and seeing where things go.

  2. 35

    Game Day

    Here's a short episode description: The crew is back for another Game Day! We put our knowledge to the test with a round of the questions game, then leveled things up with a high-pressure twist on BS — this time with a ticking clock and a bold call on how many answers you can rattle off before time runs out. Who cracked under pressure? Find out this episode.

  3. 34

    Silicon Anxiety

    A discussion among prospective computer science majors wrestling with uncertainty about the field—especially anxiety around AI automation, hiring volatility, and whether the industry is becoming structurally harder to break into. The episode contrasts those concerns with the actual shape of modern CS careers: uneven, competitive, but still full of entry points through internships, open-source work, niche specialization, and interdisciplinary paths.

  4. 33

    Senior Prom Soon!!!

    Senior prom season is HERE and we have thoughts. We're breaking down our outfit picks, our predictions, and our hopes for a night that doesn't end in a trip to the ER — because yes, we're still recovering from the trauma of junior prom, where apparently the catering had other plans for everyone's digestive systems. We also get into all the other senior events on the horizon and what we're actually looking forward to as the year wraps up. It's giving bittersweet, it's giving chaotic, it's giving prom queen energy.

  5. 32

    I Call BS

    The gang is back to geek out over the animes they've been watching lately and preview what's coming in the 2026 anime lineup — then things get competitive with a brand new game where someone drops a big claim (like "I can name 50 states"), everyone throws out their guess, and if you call BS you better be ready to prove it. Chaos, as always, ensues.

  6. 31

    A Stormy Spring Break

    We kicked off this episode on a somber note, reflecting on the devastating storm that swept through the Hawaiian Islands during spring break — a tragic event that left a trail of damage across the islands. After taking a moment to acknowledge the impact, we lightened the mood with a chaotic twist on the classic impostor game, where the number of impostors was completely random, throwing all strategy out the window and turning every round into pure, unpredictable mayhem.

  7. 30

    Game Day

    In this episode of Brain Rotisserie, it’s another chaotic Game Day as we dive back into the Questions Impostor game—where suspicion runs high and answers get questionable fast. This round sparks funny, awkward, and unexpectedly deep moments as we try to figure out who’s faking it. It’s competitive, unpredictable, and full of laughs from start to finish

  8. 29

    Would You Rather?

    We're switching things up for another game day episode! Instead of our usual word and question impostor game, we put ourselves to the test with a round of fun, weird, and oddly thought-provoking Would You Rather questions — and let's just say the answers were very revealing. On top of that, one of our members got put under the microscope with a personality test, and the results did not disappoint. Tune in for a chaotic, laugh-filled episode that somehow tells you everything you need to know about us.

  9. 28

    What's On Our Plate?

    We’re diving deep into the stuff that actually matters: what’s on our plates. We kick things off with the ultimate West Coast debate—is In-N-Out actually the GOAT? From there, we’re ranking our all-time favorite restaurants and building the best burger meal. Things get a little existential toward the end as we reveal our last meal requests (hint: there’s a lot of carbs involved), while sharing the weird food hills we’re willing to die on. It’s basically just us getting hungry in real-time and judging each other's questionable taste buds.

  10. 27

    Game Day

    In this episode, we dive into a mix of casual chat and gameplay fun, starting with a discussion about an upcoming game and some random topics. The main segment features a lively round of an impostor-style guessing game, where one player knows a secret word and category while the others ask questions to figure it out. Hints, laughter, and unexpected twists keep everyone on their toes as the group tries to outsmart the “impostor”.

  11. 26

    Game Day

    In Episode 25 of Brain Rotisserie, it’s another chaotic Game Day as we dive back into the Questions Impostor game—where suspicion runs high and answers get questionable fast. This round takes a turn into love and relationships, sparking funny, awkward, and unexpectedly deep moments as we try to figure out who’s faking it. It’s competitive, unpredictable, and full of laughs from start to finish

  12. 25

    Happy Valentine's

    This Valentine’s Day special episode is built around relationship chaos and honesty checks: we run multiple “impostor rounds” where everyone answers the same dating and relationship questions: best date spots, worst date spots, biggest red flags, and deal-breakers except one person who has no idea what the real question is and has to bluff their way through. The format exposes how people actually think about romance versus how they pretend to think about it, which is far more entertaining than polished advice. The mood is noticeably missing the stabilizing presence of our cohost John, whose absence is felt and not gracefully compensated for.

  13. 24

    Game Day

    In Episode 23, Game Day, we keep things light with a quick filler episode full of games, jumping between the question impostor game and Guess the Word. The pace swings from rapid-fire guesses to slower, more thought-out moments, making for a fun and laid-back game day vibe.

  14. 23

    Guess the Word

    In this episode, we dive into a mix of casual chat and gameplay fun, starting with a discussion about an upcoming game and some random topics. The main segment features a lively round of an impostor-style guessing game, where one player knows a secret word and category while the others ask questions to figure it out. Hints, laughter, and unexpected twists keep everyone on their toes as the group tries to outsmart the “impostor” and guess the word before giving up.

  15. 22

    We Procrastinated on Making This Episode

    In this episode, we finally stop putting it off and dive headfirst into the chaos of procrastination and the all-too-familiar curse of senioritis. From last-minute assignments to existential dread about the future, we share our most relatable (and embarrassing) moments of putting things off... Tune in for laughs, confessions, and a little motivation—though we can’t promise you won’t procrastinate on listening.

  16. 21

    Japan 2026

    In Episode 20 of Brain Rotisserie, “Japan 2026,” we dive into plans for an epic trip to Japan with friends and ponder whether it will even make it out of the GC. Along the way, we share favorite cities, argue over the undeniable best Japanese food (spoiler: someone’s top pick is clearly chicken karaage), and wrap things up with our weekly round of questions and the ever-chaotic Impostor game.

  17. 20

    Roblox and Games

    We’re counting down the most iconic games of the past 20 years and giving shoutouts to the YouTube gamers who made them famous. From epic classics to viral moments, we’re talking nostalgia, influence, and why these games (and creators) still matter.

  18. 19

    Christmas Shenanigans

    Christmas is here, and so is the chaos! In this episode, we talk about our Christmas plans and then jump into a Christmas-themed Imposter game that quickly spirals into laughs, accusations, and festive fun.

    Big Back Competition

    Brain Rotisserie tackles the imminent future in this week's episode, "Big Back Competition," as the hosts, all graduating seniors, dive into their uncertain and exciting post-graduation plans—from career aspirations to potential gap years. But before they can solve the great mysteries of life, they must solve a few low-stakes rivalries, launching into a hilarious new round of the question and word impostor games. The competition peaks with a fiercely debated question about who holds the crown for the group's biggest eater, leading to an amusing and surprisingly competitive argument you'll have to listen to the very end to judge for yourself.

  22. 15

    100 Times??!

    In this episode, we dive into the online phenomenon of the "Great Meme Reset," discussing the effort to combat current trends like "67" and "Italian brainrot" by bringing back classic memes. We shared which popular memes we actively dislike and analyzed the strange origins behind them. Finally, we played another round of Questions, which culminated in a shocking reveal about one host's daily habit, admitting they perform a certain simple action a baffling triple-digit number of times every single day!

  23. 14

    Rapid Questions

    This week on Brain Rotisserie, we welcomed back a special guest for a high-energy episode focused on future predictions and deductive games! We kicked things off with a round of Rapid Questions, discussing our spontaneous answers and what they might reveal about our upcoming paths. Then, we dove into two challenging word games: first, the deceptive game of Impostor, where everyone described a shared secret word to try and identify the player who secretly received a different word; and finally, the intriguing game of Questions, where we shared answers and attempted to deduce which player's response didn't correspond to the actual question everyone else received, leading to some hilarious and unexpected revelations.

  24. 13

    Who's Fake

    In this fun filler episode of Brain Rotisserie, we take a break from our usual conversations about growing up and dive into a game-focused challenge: Impostor. We test each other’s deduction skills, bluffing ability, and quick thinking as we try to guess who’s hiding the secret word, leading to a chaotic mix of laughter, accusations, and surprising reveals.

  25. 12

    J*b, W*rk, Empl*yment

    Episode 11 of Brain Rotisserie, “Jb, Wrk, Empl*yment,” dives into the chaos and excitement of junior year as we look back on landing our first part-time j*bs, juggling school responsibilities, and figuring out what “w*rk” even means at that age. We also swap stories about memorable teachers—including one very old-school presence—and reflect on the mix of classes that shaped the year. It’s a laid-back episode about growing up, balancing commitments, and the weird transition between being a kid and stepping into the world of empl*yment.

  26. 11

    A Soft, Boring Year

    In this episode of Brain Rotisserie, we look back on the summer after freshman year and the slow slide into sophomore life—where joining soccer brings new teammates, late-night bus rides, and surprising moments of fun between exhausting games. We talk about juggling harder classes, experimenting with a coding game project, and navigating all the weird changes that suddenly show up during the school year… including one of us going unexpectedly bald. It’s a calm, uneventful year on the surface—but sometimes those “boring” chapters hold the best memories.

  27. 10

    Becoming a Whole New Fresh Man

    In this episode of Brain Rotisserie, we rewind to the summer of 2022 — the season of first real hangouts, awkward beginnings, and the anxious countdown to high school. From discovering the gym grind and battling preschool-level insomnia to finally reuniting with friends and navigating the chaos of orientation, this episode dives into the classes that bored us, the honors classes that terrified us, and the unforgettable moments that made our freshman year feel like a brand-new chapter. It’s a story of leveling up, learning who your people are, and realizing that the wait to grow up is just as wild as actually doing it.

  28. 9

    Feels Awkward (Part 2)

    In this follow-up episode, we keep the conversation going with more stories from the school year — from science fairs and field trips to random lunch hangouts and playground throwbacks. We talk about the weird, funny, and sometimes awkward moments that made everything memorable — like running late, missing events, and still somehow earning perfect attendance. It’s a mix of nostalgia, chaos, and those classic end-of-year experiences that everyone can relate to.

  29. 8

    Feels Awkward

    In this episode of Brain Rotisserie, titled “Feels Awkward,” we rewind to the summer of 2021 — that weird, exciting, and slightly uncomfortable time when school finally went back in person after COVID. From navigating those first awkward days and trying to find where you fit in, to cooking up memories in Cooking class, we relive the moments that made 8th grade both nerve-wracking and unforgettable. Between chill study halls and the thrill of the first live orchestra and band performances again, this episode captures what it was really like to return to “normal” — whatever that meant back then.

  30. 7

    Skipping School, Kind of?

    Wait What, No School?!

  32. 5

    A Whole New Start, and Bathrooms?

    In this episode of Brain Rotisserie, we dive headfirst into the chaotic, cringy, and strangely formative world of middle school. From awkward orientation games to the dreaded mile run in P.E., early elective choices, and our first brushes with music class and Japanese anime Fridays, it’s a whirlwind of growth, confusion, and discovery. We’ll talk about reading logs, Teenbiz battles, and the joy (or trauma) of changing in locker rooms. Plus—why were the bathrooms always such a thing?

  33. 4

    A Farewell to Elementary

    We'll share our own personal stories of navigating the final days of elementary school, capturing the unique mix of excitement for what's next and the heavy nostalgia for what we're leaving behind.
