Lunch Break

Between watching a live DUI arrest unfold outside our window and dreading catching each other's sickness right before a Halloween wedding, we cover some serious ground on this break. We break down the tedious art of painting Team Fortress 2 cosplay gloves, slow-cooking shredded chicken that hits just right, navigating narrator fatigue in our favorite sci-fi book series, and breaking down all the w...

We survived the week just in time to tackle life's biggest questions: how do you shred chicken without it tasting like sweet mush, does spotting in War Dogs print way too much easy cash, and why does modern tech fail the second you actually need it?

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 din...

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.

We also dive deep into our favorite shows and games, from...
