One Hour, One Brain Cell

We're back, and with more chocolate than ever! Tune in for a final recap on all things Olympics, including one of our very own attempts at recreating the famous muffins, the ongoing bronze medal scandal, and Triple Espresso. We also discuss our upcoming Podcast Road Trip, and our own red and green flags when sharing the scenic route with a friend. (Spoiler alert: you will get dropped off on th...

Liberté, égalité, Lés Miserables - at least, we're pretty sure that's how it goes. Like most of the world, we've been swept up by the Olympics here at the One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast - so we're recapping the absolutely wild opening ceremony, which included everything from The Louvre to beheaded aristocrats to Lady Gaga and more. And since we're watching for the actual spor...

It's episode 29 (Schmidt voice) of the show! To celebrate the occasion, we're doing the exact same thing that we do every week - prove our unfortunate addiction to memes and the internet and watch Formula 1. We'll cover Richie's personal circle of hell involving the words "scam likely", the 9/11 to Ellen DeGeneres pipeline, Weird Al, The Olympics, and Twister - hey, wait...

In case it wasn't clear, we're basically just two bros that enjoy sports here on this podcast - so we're going to talk about it. Get on board with us for all of your pre-Olympics hype, College Football 25 nostalgia, and crushing disappointment over the U.S. Men's National Soccer team not hiring Jürgen Klopp as their next manager. We also serve up some motorsports appetizers, despit...

Much like a qualifying lap in the rain on slick tires, it’s a wild one on this week’s One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast! We start with Richie’s adventures with the weather and the wonders of Midwest America, follow it up with a heaping helping of Formula 1 glory for Sir Lewis Hamilton, and close with some more hot takes and outtakes of the Internet over the past week. Because the world needed anoth...

Have you ever wanted to experience the tranquility and relative mundanity of a camping trip, without leaving your own home? Perhaps you've been longing for an involuntary liberation from all of your electronic devices and your home air conditioning unit! If you'd like to return to hearing every single noise your neighbors make through the thin walls of your apartment, try A Total Power Out...

We're celebrating 25 episodes - and our biggest victory to date - on today's show! Join us as we recap the defeat of the bots and scalpers and our triumph in acquiring tickets for Julien Baker's tour later this year. Later, we talk shop on all of the sports world's biggest happenings this week: the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, the United States Olympic Trials for swimming, and the...

Jordan has returned from her "study abroad experience" and Richie's wifi is still in 480p - we're picking up right where we left off here on the show. We discuss the harrowing and horrifying experience that is Canadian airport customs, buying Mucinex in a foreign language, and our love for the music of ABBA (even entirely in Spanish). We also recap the chaos that was the Montreal...

We're back and off theme yet again! Although this happened last week, we're recapping the general snooze fest that was Charles Leclerc's first win in Monaco and the inclement weather looming over the Indy 500. Then we dash over to the internet, where a fully aware baby tries to persuade us to stay at the Four Seasons Orlando and Richie's algorithm tries to persuade him that he'...

There are three things we really love on the show: a themed episode, new music, and Twenty One Pilots - and today we get the distinct honor and privilege of having all three of those things. Join us as we deep dive into the ~lore~ surrounding the band's newest album, Clancy, and rave about our early favorites and ear worms. We go track-by-track through the record, as well as the music videos p...

"Twenty-one? You stupid." Yes, we've been saving up this episode title. To celebrate our show finally breaking into legal drinking age, we bring you all the ups and downs of the past week - including Billie Eilish's masterpiece of a third album, the Imola Grand Prix, and Jürgen Klopp's departure from Liverpool. In case your niche doesn't align very specifically with our i...

What you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that we're just using this episode as an excuse to make copious Ocean's 8 references and critique celebrity looks as two wildly unqualified fashion analysts - it's the Met Gala, One Hour One Brain Cell 20th episode edition! Whil...

We've kept it relatively cool, calm, and collected for the first 18 episodes of the show - but today might be the day we finally snap. First, Jordan practices her active anger management skills as we recap the Miami Grand Prix and ponder the eternal question of why a bollard would need to be on a Formula 1 racetrack. Meanwhile, we evaluate the validity of Richie's Letterboxd reviews (not f...

It's a question as old as time: would you rather eat 1,000 artificially flavored cheese balls while the city of New York watches, or eat an entire rotisserie chicken for 40 days in a row while the city of Philadelphia watches your final feat? By some miracle of the indomitable human spirit, both of those things have actually been done, and we recap their perils and tales of heroism on today&#3...

We're back, we're over time, and we're obsessed with Taylor Swift's newest album - so really, you haven't missed very much. On this very special episode of the show, we're breaking down (in every sense of the word) The Tortured Poets Department, including all of the ways in which it's snuck onto our TikTok for you pages. It's no Every Single Album, but we'd like...

We're back with episode 16 (for real this time) - and a lot has happened since our Lost Episode recording. First, we cover the two major geological and cosmic events that, experienced in a two week period, would've been enough to convince our ancestors the world was in The End Days: the "west of Manhattan" earthquake and the solar eclipse. We also manage our chronic pain with Jok...

It’s our 15th episode, which means we’ve spent at least 15 hours broadcasting our nonsense to the world (and that’s 15 hours of your lives you won’t be getting back, dear listeners). On today’s special musical episode (just kidding, we don’t want to do that as much as you don’t want to hear it) we revisit the cultural phenomenon beloved by theater kids and Emma Stone enjoyers alike - 2016’s La La...

We put on our tin foil hats (and green for St. Patrick's Day) to dive into some of the most popular and hilarious internet theories of all time. From the existence of birds to lost luggage, ghosts, Kate Middleton, and Bigfoot (who are not the same cryptid, believe it or not), join us for this dose of mischief and mystery. We also debut another *to be named* segement where Richie tries to be li...

Welcome to episode 13, which is contractually mandated to include at least one Taylor Swift reference. As usual, join your hosts for a trip into the Twilight Zone that is the internet's favorite memes of the week, made worse by randomly-inserted ads and Richie discovering the soundboard function of our show software. Then, take a trip with us into the Peruvian Amazon as we recap the cult class...

The internet was actually so full of memes and garbageposting this week that it bogged down Richie's connection, so we're trying a new video format for this week's episode. After a (week) long hiatus, we're back discussing all things viral and horrifying - the Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow, imaginary friends that might be ghosts of bubonic plague victims, and choosing to ignore...

DISCLAIMER: This episode lacks structure, organization, or reason. Proceed at your own risk. (Truthfully, we weren't sure we'd get this far.) As a result, we bring you one of our most chaotically-assembled episodes - a totally unsponsored Red Bull taste test, a truly unhinged recap of the Super Bowl, and the internet's best memes of the week, and a tragically unsuccessful attempt by yo...

It's been a busy couple of weeks at OHOBC headquarters, but we're back with our milestone tenth episode! Richie and Jordan discuss all things fear - ghosts, goblins, the dolls from It's A Small World, and more things that go bump in the night (mostly our shins against all of the walls and furniture). We also recap boygenius' emotional Grammy victories, struggle to remember the titl...

Feeling nihilistic about love this Valentine's Day? Us too. In an effort to fight back against our Hallmark overlords, we're ranking the best and worst first date spots, romantic comedies, and more - and end up with arguably the most unhinged 30 seconds in podcasting history. As they say, love is in the air - or maybe it's just those leftovers you forgot to throw out. Grab some chocola...

As the self-appointed aficionadoughs of this particular topic, it was really only a matter of time before we had a pizza-themed episode. Your hosts cook up a number of piping-hot takes, including the best brands, toppings, and chains, and reveal one truly disturbing slice of information about Richie. As is becoming tradition, we've also gathered a few pop culture references about this deliciou...

After seven episodes of this nonsense, we've finally realized that you probably don't know much about your two absolute fools for hosts. We're here to fix that today by taking a bunch of probably arbitrary quizzes, all of which we will believe with absolute blind faith and certainty and allow to slowly overtake our personalities. (Don't ask us what time we were born or our rising s...
