Busted Brackets, Doing Anything But My Work, And Getting Fired For It.

Unpaid Lunch : A Podcast About Work

(All of our descriptions are done with AI, So enjoy them as much as we do)

Hey everyone, we're back, and true to form, we've spun a fresh yarn of workplace shenanigans and fantasy football follies. Grab your headphones as the OG Crew and I swap tales from under the fluorescent office lights, including my epic search for that elusive left-handed catcher's mitt and our collective marvel at the meteoric rise in sports gear prices. We're also diving into the deep end with discussions on the transformative journey of fantasy sports, from the days of paper-based tracking to the digital dominance of Dynasty leagues. It's a nostalgic ride through the analog past into the pixelated present, and we're here for every touchdown and fumble along the way.
Strap in for a detour into the addictive landscapes of Monopoly Go, where the OG Crew confesses to being hooked, line, and sinker. We juggle the joys and pitfalls of gaming obsessions with hot takes on the latest baseball season buzz, including the Trevor Bauer controversy – spoiler alert: it's a curveball. Then, we shift gears to the collegiate battlefield, dissecting the seismic impact of NIL agreements and the politics that shape athletes' careers. Hear our candid reflections on sports history's injustices and our predictions for future icons like Shohei Ohtani in this ever-evolving sports saga.
The final whistle hasn't blown yet – join us as we reminisce about the evolution of Battle Royale games and uncover a friend's surprising influence on Madden Ultimate Team's inception. We're pulling back the curtain on the art of game development, from designing a trading card game that spiraled into a Magic the Gathering-esque phenomenon to navigating the integrity of a burgeoning online player community. It's a celebration of the quirks, strategies, and brotherhood that gaming fosters. Don't miss the play-by-play of this wild ride through work, play, and the digital realms that captivate us all.
