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.

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.

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.

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.
