The 3 Brain Cells

We started in the talking stage... and somehow ended up planning someone’s hypothetical wedding in our notes app. In this week’s episode, we dive headfirst into the beautifully messy pipeline from first dates to full-on engagements with plenty of detours into red flags, unhinged DMs, wedding hot takes, and the occasional emotional spiral. Whether you're single, cuffed, situationshipped, or just he...

From the cinnamon challenge to eating Tide Pods (why???), we're diving into the most unhinged internet trends our generation somehow lived through. Join us as we laugh, cringe, and question humanity while recalling the wildest challenges the internet has ever offered—and maybe the ones that were lowkey our intrusive thoughts. Don’t worry, no brain cells were harmed in the making of this episod...

It started with a little Disney slander (as it should). We aired our grievances about the live-action remakes—because why are they like that??—and somehow ended up reimagining them as horror films. Think  The Little Mermaid , but actually terrifying.  Beauty and the Beast , but the beast stays a beast. Join us as we spiral into chaotic storytelling, wild what-ifs, and laugh way too hard at our own...

The Crunchyroll Anime Awards came and went, and honestly? We were kind of impressed. In this episode, we dive into the nominees, winners, and all the chaos in between—no rage, just vibes (okay, maybe a little rage).

In this episode, we fully embrace our delusions (a.k.a. dreams) and spill all about the wildest versions of our future selves. From dream homes to fantasy careers to totally unrealistic—but still iconic—goals, we’re laying it all out. It’s chaotic, it’s inspiring, it’s deeply unserious and a little too real. Whether you’re living in reality or just visiting, this one’s for the dreamers. 💭✨ P.S....

In our true fashion, we take a wild ride through the most unexpected tangents yet. What starts as a chat about school quickly spirals into stories of chaotic blood draws, bizarre childhood fears, and our collective obsession with the show Strange Addictions. If you've ever wondered how we can connect cafeteria lunches to people eating drywall, this one’s for you. Buckle up for an episode full...

This episode is basically a double feature. First up: we start with popcorn and plot twists—diving into movies that we've seen and are to come. Then, the vibe shifts as we get real about mental health, its struggles, and how life actually feels behind the mic. And just when you think it’s over… we drop a bombshell: is this the beginning of a whole new era for the podcast? Something’s brewing,...

This week, we  tried  to stay on topic—and shockingly, we almost did. We kick things off with Midwest chaos: weather complaints, and why it's basically impossible to survive summer without a mosquito bite. But naturally, it wouldn’t be us if we didn’t somehow spiral into a passionate anime discussion by the end. From frozen lakes to fiery fight scenes, we cover it all. Grab a hotdish (or just...

What started as a casual convo turned into  Jazz’s DNA revelation —and let's just say, none of us were ready. From surprise ancestry results to dramatic family reactions, we spiral into a full-blown genealogy gossip session. And just when things start to calm down… BAM, somehow we’re talking about Marvel characters and their own identity crises. This episode is part mystery, part therapy, and...

From niche hobbies to oddly specific interests that took over our lives for way too long, we’re unpacking what it means to go  all in ... until we suddenly don’t. If you’ve ever stayed up 'til 3am researching some...

Will the classics dominate, or will the new kids on the block surprise us? Expect passionate debates, dramatic upsets, and at least one argument about why someone thinks a...

We’ve had enough—and we’re calling it out. From people who ruin book spines to the audacity of losing an hour of sleep (seriously,  why? ), this episode is a fiery round of rants and red flags. If you’ve ever felt personally victimized by someone’s behavior, trend, or just plain bad taste… pull up a chair. We’re talking pet peeves, unpopular opinions, and all the things that make us say, “Yeah… th...

Buckle up, because this episode is all over the place! In Detours Ahead, we had no plan—just vibes, chaos, and whatever popped into our heads.

In this episode,  Hey Siri… Play Let’s Go Random , we  attempt  to discuss the experience of growing up biracial—but true to form, we take more detours than a lost GPS.

Buckle up, because we’re letting the conversation take the wheel (and Siri might...

Being biracial is a rollercoaster—one minute, you’re “so exotic,” and the next, someone’s trying to guess your ethnicity like it’s a game show. In this episode, we dive into the struggles of living in the racial in-between, from never quite fitting in to dealing with the What Are You? interrogation. We’re talking identity crises, hair struggles, and all the awkward, hilarious, and frustrating mome...

Some things are just not worth the hype—yes, we said it. In this episode, we’re calling out the most overrated things in life, from luxury brands that ain’t so luxurious to Taylor Swift (sorry, Swifties). Expect some hot takes, a few unpopular opinions, and of course, the usual off-topic chaos. Buckle up—it’s time to overrate the overrated! 🎤🔥 #SorryNotSorry

Set sail with us as we navigate the stormy seas of romantic relationships and the inevitable shipwrecks that come with them. In this episode, we dive into love, heartbreak, and the messy in-between—sharing stories, lessons learned, and the occasional unhinged rant. And because we can’t help ourselves, expect a few unexpected detours along the way. Buckle up, grab some ice cream (or a life vest), a...

In this episode, we dive into the latest drama coming out of Washington—Trump’s crackdown on DEI initiatives. From colleges scrambling to rename their programs to entire websites mysteriously losing diversity data (spooky, right?), we break down what’s happening and why it matters. We also chat about how these changes could impact students, workplaces, and beyond—while, of course, going on a few w...

Relationships are complicated, whether it’s with family, friends, or that special someone. In this episode, we’re diving into the highs, lows, and everything in between.

But once we get going, it’s all about unpacking the complexities of human connection—how we navigate love, loyalty, and mayb...

We’re back and ready to pick up where we left off (with fewer tangents this time... maybe).

From personal stories to practical tips, this episode is all about opening up and holding space for the conversation we all need. It’s real, it’s raw, and yes, it’s still a little c...

We meant to dive deep into mental health today, but true to form, we took a few detours (okay, a lot of detours). From unexpected laughs to stories we just couldn’t keep to ourselves, this episode is a chaotic mix of insight and hilarity. But don’t worry—we’re not leaving the mental health convo unfinished. Stay tuned for a part 2, where we promise to actually stay on track (or at least try).

It’s a new year, and we’re kicking things off by reflecting on our goals, hopes, and (let’s be honest) failed resolutions.
