Break out your Walkman and grab a pretzel, because the new season starts with a totally tubular trip to the 1980s! The HR After Hours crew beams the Bubbler team back to the glory days of suburban mall culture. Mick and Kerri dish on epic mall dates, the smell of a fresh cassette at the record store, button-mashing marathons at the arcade, and the sacred gathering place we called…the food court. From Orange Julius brain freezes to parachute pants fashion crimes, and awkward teen crushes to neon everything, this episode has all the mall-rat vibes your nostalgic heart can handle.

Mick and Hanna revisit the messy reality of workplace relationships in this remastered and reformatted episode.

Oh my.

Join Mick and Kerri as they dive headfirst into the absurd gap between teenage dreams and adult realities. Remember when we thought our first apartment would be glamorous—and not just a glorified laundry room with messy roommates and rent? Or that eating cereal for dinner would feel like sweet freedom instead of mild depression?

From Boo Berry at 8 p.m. to the myth of "pulling all-nighters" after 25, we’re unpacking the expectations we brought into adulthood. Let’s find out which ones lived up to the hype—and which ones got mercilessly stomped by reality.

We love hearing from you. Contact Us: [email protected]
