It's another mid-week installment of Lunch Break, and we're officially back at it. Today, we took a deep dive into the post-Stranger Things careers of the cast, from Millie Bobby Brown’s latest Netflix projects to Sadie Sink's potential leap into the MCU as a "Disney princess". We also had our minds blown discovering Joe Keery's (aka Steve Harrington) extensive musical career as DJO, which has us ready to re-watch the whole series with fresh eyes. Between discussing Finn Wolfhard's indie-pop albums and David Harbour's upcoming role in Creature Commandos, we got real about our own creative struggles. One of us is diving headfirst into music production, grappling with the technical steepness of MIDI and the delicate balance of bass, drums, and synths. We also vented about the modern "tornado fire" of workplace tech disasters, the absolute run-around of car repairs, and the bizarre moment when an AI tried to convince us that hot dogs are actually dumplings.

We’re officially in the year of the "Chicken Jockey" meme, though we’re pretty sure it’s a shame it peaked so early in 2025. We dive deep into the absolute misery of living in an "edging culture," where we're stuck waiting years for the Steam Machine, GTA VI, and ketchup-flavored Doritos that never seem to arrive. Between surviving a 70-degree temperature drop that turned the world into a tundra and debating the merits of pre-marinated bourbon salmon, we’re convinced we’re trapped in a Star Trek-style time loop. We also ponder the mystery of 50 bullet casings appearing outside our office and debate the "formula" for turning our gaming streams into narrated stories. From the confusion of "Friday Light" work shifts to brute-forcing our way through a 40K audiobook for the seventh time, come hang out with us as we wonder if anything is real—except for the birds.

We’re back for our daily 15-minute escape from the "cubicle sea" to recap a surprisingly busy Christmas week at the office. This episode, we’re dissecting the maintenance nightmare of a wasp-infested hot tub and the absolute struggle of trying to understand Warhammer 40K lore as a beginner. We also get into the "induced demand" of emergency services, share an original song about a Buzz Ball Christmas tree, and vent about a coworker whose messages are just a chaotic novel of ellipses and contradictions. From weird military Hogwarts dreams to the "healthy lifestyle triangle," we're just trying to stay awake and avoid throwing our bosses through a wall.
