Join us for another Lunch Break as we chat about the daily work grind, exciting new cooking adventures (hello, butter chicken curry! ), and the intricate world of video editing, including the quest for perfect pacing and that elusive "truncate tool". We'll also cover useful highway driving advice, thoughts on the end of beloved TV series , and the peculiar challenges of dental visits. And as a person with a full time job, I don't feel even a little weird about having all of these descriptions be almost entirely written by AI because its 11PM and I have work tomorrow! Woooo! See you next Monday!
This week on Lunch Break, we dive into the wild world of AI in video games and sci-fi books, from self-learning AI clones to grumpy beer-can-shaped companions. We're also talking about the surprisingly scary "Nuclear Nightmare" and why some food just tastes better when it's fueled by rage! Plus, hear about the challenges of being a "runner" at Taco Bell and the chaotic charm of a busy kitchen. All this and more, before we run out of time!
This week on Lunch Break, we dive into the burning issues of everyday life! From the agonizing wait for a chemical-weapon-grade hot sauce and battling ridiculous quality control rejections at work , to the thrilling (and sometimes frustrating) journey of converting to Linux and self-hosting everything. Plus, find out about Fidel Castro's surprising dairy obsession and why Virginia sucks for nuclear survival. Join us for a candid chat about work woes and digital freedom!
Join us as we make our triumphant return to work after a long vacation weekend and a beautiful wedding! Our hosts dive into the latest escapades from the Expeditionary Force series, including Skippy's "worm in me meltdown" and a daring jump through a black hole. We talk all about the challenges of voice acting in the audio drama, Homefront, and share our opinions on why voice acting should be taken as seriously as live-action acting. In this episode, we're also geeking out over the movie 28 Days Later, praising its innovative filming techniques and how a simple scene in a church gave us goosebumps. We even discuss our bizarre realization that several Doctor Who actors have starred in zombie movies, which is a weird little factoid for our listeners to enjoy. And of course, we had to finally try the legendary fluffer nutter, a snack mentioned repeatedly in the books. We share our honest review of this super sweet treat and brainstorm some other uses for an industrial amount of marshmallow fluff. Our hosts express their immense love for the Expeditionary Force books, defending them against criticisms they've seen online and proposing our own vision for a Star Trek-style TV show. The journey is what makes the books so good, and we love how the author isn't afraid to put the characters through the wringer.
This week on Lunch Break, the meatbags, I mean, hosts, are battling Monday fatigue and some rather unconventional work situations. One is diving headfirst into a short week, preparing for a wedding where pink bow ties are apparently the fashion statement. The other is wrestling with a Fitbit that committed suicide by water, leading to a deep dive into conductive paint and the eternal quest for more sleep. We also get a massive dose of Expeditionary Force talk, with revelations about the Maxolts and Jeraptha, and a very vivid discussion of dreams involving flying and fighting aliens. Plus, there's a good chunk of chat about the struggles of editing Kenshi videos and the delicate art of not procrastinating. It's a chaotic good time, just like my glorious self! -Skippy
