One Hour, One Brain Cell

Our menu for this week's episode (regrettably) doesn't contain caviar or chicken nuggets - but we're still confident we've cooked up something you'll like. From the concessions, celebrities, and custom labubus of the U.S. Open to the twists and turns of the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, we're recapping the best in sports for you. Plus, join us for the first iteration of Bo...

We could've had years to prepare for this news, but no one would've really been Ready For It anyway. Taylor Swift's summer has been anything but Cruel - and she has a shiny new ring (not Paper) to show for it! Congratulations to our very own Mastermind on finding her Forever & Always. We wish you years of Happiness, good Karma, and immaculate Style. Now back to the story of our pod...

One thing you should know about us: no plan is ever too absurd. And if that plan involves last-minute tickets, driving to a different state, and desperately avoiding Lower Wacker - that's pretty much par for the course. Jordan's bringing you all the front line coverage (literally) from Tate McRae's Miss Possessive World Tour in Chicago on this week's show. We're also breaking d...

On this week's episode, we went from talking about online bingo to the Saw franchise to Baja Blast in a somewhat linear fashion. We're clinically undiagnosed, but pretty sure something isn't right. You can donate thoughts, prayers, and fidget spinners for our condition to our PO box - we also accept gifts in the form of views on this video. Thanks in advance for your contribution to maintaining ou...

Do not adjust your screens - we're back for real, after approximately 100 straight hours spent together IRL in pursuit of a successful San Diego Comic Con. And don't worry, there are no lines to stand in to receive this exclusive content. We've got all the details on the costumes, commodities, and oddities of a week spent in beautiful San Diego, California - one that perhaps also conta...

Tonight's performance of the One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast will feature atmospheric fog, and light and sound effects that may be startling to some viewers. We remind you that flash photography is strictly prohibited. As a courtesy to your fellow viewers, take a moment to place your cell phones on silent, and unwrap any noisy snacks you may have brought with you prior to the opening number....

By the time you see this, Jordan will be losing her voice at The Mayhem Ball and Richie will be desperately trying to procure tickets to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We're thankful for scheduled posts around here. On this milestone 75th episode of the show, we're breaking down all the #EmmyAwards nominations, breaking hearts with the ending of Richie's latest #BookTok read, and...

Much like the Jurassic Park franchise and its many reboots, we follow a strict formula here at the One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast: source ancient genetic material (memes) from fossils, amber, and eggs (the Internet) and use it to irresponsibly alter the environment around us. There might even be dinosaurs, if you're lucky. So lock down the paddock and assemble your closest friends for a lock...

This Fourth of July, we encourage you to celebrate responsibly - even though we know it's hard not to get a little wild about the 101st birthday of the Caesar salad. Don't worry, if you don't celebrate this truly universal holiday, we still have something for you to love here on the show: the Chili's Triple Dipper, F1: The Movie, our #TracksOfTheWeek, and much more. And, as a speci...

A new hand touches the beacon - and for the first time ever, a guest joins the show! With the insightful perspective of Jordan's mom (who wishes she hadn't mentioned anything about Letterboxd) and everyone's favorite dog, Nala (who wishes someone would take her on a walk), we break down a boatload of movies (including one we all wish we would've skipped). Plus, it's the continu...

Welcome, dear audience, and have a seat. Gaze into our crystal ball, and before you shall materialize the answer to all of your questions. If the answer looks something like a plush toy with razor sharp teeth, perhaps you should ask again later... In the meantime, feel free to browse our selection of potions, tonics, and topics of the week: The Tony Awards, "Manchild" by Sabrina Carpente...

We are gathered here today in memory of our dear friend, Hacks, who occupied our hearts and our televisions for the last seven Thursdays. A friend to all, except $72 branzino, she will be dearly missed until she returns for season five at a later date. In lieu of donations, please send 10-second penalties to the McLaren Formula 1 Team garage. In the meantime, stick with us to catch up on everythin...

We've returned from our one-week break refreshed, restored, and ready to suffer the effects of lactose intolerance from consuming our Indianapolis 500 winners' pint. Join us for a recap of both your hosts' first experience at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (and the first time we've discussed anything other than F1 on the show). We also have not one, not two, but *three* Hacks epis...

Coming Wednesdays this fall, a groundbreaking new show from the network that brought you "Chicago Fire", "Chicago Med", and "Chicago PD" - NBC's "Chicago Pope". Join newly appointed Pope Leo XIV in his quest to bless the Rat Hole, anoint bottles of Malort across the city, and save the Chicago White Sox from the bottom of the standings. (We're unsure...

Fresh off the First Monday in May, we're back with everyone's favorite segment: obviously qualified fashion analysis of the 2025 Met Gala! Come with us as we sort out the winners, losers, and bowler hats of this year's event. And if that wasn't enough for you, we also have possibly too-in-depth analysis of the MCU's "we're so back" offering, Thunderbolts* (not spo...

The pollen count is high this time of year, which we can blame almost entirely on an article published in 1939 that recommended only male trees be planted in growing city municipalities. Female trees, by contrast, shed fruit and seeds, as well as chemicals absorbed from wastewater and the nearby soil - but male trees facilitate removal through flowers and pollen. As a result, the number of seasona...

If we were eligible to be given penalties for going over one hour on the show, we would have an indefinite race ban by now. Luckily for you, we don't listen to anybody's rules and they can't stop us. Tune in this week for the first ever incident of "Jordan's WiFi being worse than Richie's", a review of the highly-rated "Sinners", this week's "Hacks&...

We put a bunch of these segments in our pre-show document as “rapid fire”, and then turned it into our longest episode yet. But really, who can blame us? When Lady Gaga at Coachella and the fourth season of Hacks occur in the same week, you should feel lucky we didn’t spend two hours on those topics exclusively. So buckle up for the best (and worst) of the internet and the IRL - it’s the latest ep...

Have you ever cooked a delicious frozen pizza from the grocery store, only to find that despite its perfectly crispy edges, you're still faced with a doughy and undone center? Stress no more - we here at One Hour, One Brain Cell Industries are proud to present to you the newest innovation in the field of in-house pizza baking! Introducing: A Brief Spell Under The Broiler! This revolutionary pr...

Cats, dragons, magic - the three ingredients our Etsy witches run out of most often while trying to keep up with all of our accidental manifestation spells. This week, we're breaking down Lucy Dacus' new album "Forever Is A Feeling", alongside our pitches for three television shows you definitely should be watching. We also take you through Richie's #BookTok pick of the week, as well as our latest...

Your favorite podcast's favorite podcast is back this week! Come join us for tales of cryptids, both large (Bigfoot) and small (Jordan's appearance on national television). Plus, we have our very first Formula One Hour, Formula One Brain Cell of the season, featuring double race recaps of Australia and China. We may not be 100% healthy, but we are 100% committed to this show - and you shou...

If you say "abracadabra" in the mirror 3 times, Lady Gaga appears and reminds you that ARTPOP deserved more credit than it got. So gather your covens, Monsters, and Mickeys alike - we're breaking down some of the biggest releases in movies and music over the past week. First up, it's a deep dive into Lady Gaga's dual threat host/musical guest appearance on SNL, and her early...

Our list of famous Oscars includes Wilde, Isaac, The Grouch, and Ke Huy Quan's Best Supporting Actor win from 2023. We're working on expanding that, but it might have to wait until after F1 season ends - because cars are back on track for 2025! We're talking everything preseason testing in Bahrain, and the ups, downs, and bus stops along the way. Then, we're following it up with a...

This episode was potentially also titled "Lewis Hamilton Knows Victoria's Secret", but we really should've called it "A Slow Descent into Madness". We present our latest offering, served hot and fresh with a side of sleep deprivation and fresh potting soil. It's coming home - and we hope you enjoy this episode, from the comfort of your home. Because the world needed...

If you took a sip of Red Bull for every time we mentioned witches on this episode of the show, you'd be finished with a 12oz drink before we even hit the halfway point. And much like Salem in the 1600s, we didn't even have any bullet points about witches in the show notes. They just kind of appeared. So grab Goody Proctor, your favorite SNL cast member, and your microwaveable snack of choi...
