  • #77 - Human Brain Mice, War Dogs Wipes, & Kickflipping Roadsters

    We’re clocking into lunch break to vent about endless work rejections and questionable cafeteria wraps before diving into our chaotic gaming habits. We break down our panic spending before the War Dogs wipe, recount a totally real dream battle against an anime moon, and question the sheer insanity of 700mg Death Wish coffee. Plus, we explore Stanford growing human brain cells inside mice, break down the accidental $600k sports bet that could ruin everything, and imagine a world where Elon’s rocket-powered Roadsters are literally kickflipping over rush-hour traffic.

  • #76 - Discord Bans, TF2 Cosplay & 24 Chili Dogs

    This week we recount our weekend damage, dissect an unhinged Discord suspension, and obsess over getting the exact right shade of orange for an Engineer Halloween cosplay. Between Project Zomboid fog runs, mourning the empty servers of PlanetSide 2, and gearing up for our next D&D session, we figure out how to feed the crew with twenty-four chili dogs and wonder if anyone actually survives drinking straight cooking oil.

  • #75 - Short Ep, Steam Frame Limbo, Ghost Costumes & Used Camrys

    We’re kicking off October by complaining about the eternal waitlist for the Steam Frame, plotting our ridiculous wizard-ghost outfits for an upcoming wedding, and dissecting why Grey's Anatomy really should have been about extraterrestrials. Along the way, we recap a marathon D&D session, debate Sherlock Holmes’ drug habits, and talk used Toyota Camry hunting before heading back to the daily grind.

  • #74 - Steam Frame Rants, Zombie Raids & Robot MMA

    We survived another week of 15-minute lunch breaks to tackle the hard-hitting topics: why Steam Frame reviews are driving us up the wall, our near-death gun store run in Project Zomboid, and terrifying humanoid robots throwing leg sweeps in MMA rings. Between dissecting how car transmissions actually work and venting about YouTube’s nightmare stream settings, we somehow still had to figure out dinner before dragging ourselves back to the daily grind.

  • #73 - D&D Streams, Project Zomboid, & Workplace Shenanigans

    We’re back from a chaotic break to break down the stress of prepping for our upcoming D&D live stream, our ongoing addiction to Project Zomboid, and the absurd corporate AI training taking over our day jobs. Between debates on VR gambling, surviving zombie apocalypses, and building lakeside bases, we’re just trying to survive our shift and maybe catch a nap. Grab your lunch and hang out with us.

We also catch up on our latest D&D adventures where we narrowly survived some trash-talking pirates, and share our thoughts on the audiobook fatigue of the Red Rising series.

  • #71 - Cave Fishers & Minecraft Economies

    Welcome back to our daily escape from the office grind! This week, we're breaking down the absolute chaos of our latest D&D session—where a cave fisher nearly took us out—before pivoting to the serious business of balancing the egg-farming economy on our alpha 1.7 Minecraft server. We also vent about the weird architectures of our day jobs, discuss the battery drain and constant rolling updates of CachyOS, and finally lay down the undisputed, globally correct rules for dismantling a bag of Bold Chex Mix. Grab an everything bagel with an excessive amount of cream cheese and hang out with us before we're forced to go back to work.

  • #70 - D&D War Crimes, Minecraft Economies, and Haunted PCs

    We survive a chaotic week of lunch breaks as we recap our questionable D&D morals, our absolute war crimes against homunculi, and shooting a flying goblin boss out of the sky. Between dreading impossible work deadlines and complaining about hour-long lunches, we dive deep into the chaotic economy and balance tweaks of our Minecraft server. To top it all off, we try to solve the mystery of a truly cursed, haunted gaming PC that refuses to turn on until twenty minutes after pressing the button.

We also vent about sketchy Amazon laptop orders that feel like a total scam , the absolute misery of hardware troubleshooting while trying to build our new Minecraft server , and the sudden stress of supervisor roulette at the office.

  • #68 - PC Upgrades, Minecraft Worlds & The Wreckfest Chaos

    In this episode of Lunch Break, we kick off the week diving into the never-ending Monday time loop, our questionable sleep scores, and allergy brain fog. We vent about the daily grind and the agonizingly slow pace of our tech jobs—complete with endless meetings that flip-flop between learning new processes and scratching them entirely. On the fun side, we recapped a chaotic weekend of Wreckfest 2, Banana Town Premium server shenanigans, and rage-inducing bus crashes, while brainstorming our ideal low-cost lifestyles and dream home podcast setups. Later in the week, we get deep into the weeds of PC building, discussing the head-scratching struggle of finding affordable refurbished laptops, micro-ATX motherboard limitations, and the logistics of setting up a dedicated Linux Minecraft server with custom PvP extraction mechanics. Finally, we wrap things up with some Friday excitement for an upcoming D&D session.
