Nick Loudon, Corey Haines, and Zach Stevens sit down to ruthlessly rank some of the most famous (and infamous) corporate logo redesigns of all time. From massive glow-ups to total disasters, we debate nostalgia, functionality, execution, and whether million-dollar decisions were actually worth it.
We cover eBay, Gap, Kia, Popeyes, CIA (yes, really), Slack, BMW, Airbnb, Animal Planet, Best Buy, Burger King, Nissan, Dictionary.com, Domino’s, GM, Google, Uber, Instagram, Starbucks, Netflix — and a few honorable mentions along the way.
Expect strong opinions, designer hot takes from Zach, nostalgic rants from Corey, and Nick trying to keep everyone on track.

Are the Kids Cooked?

In this episode of The Break Room, Nick, Corey, and Zach put their age, sanity, and cultural relevance to the test by taking a Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang quiz created by everyone’s favorite personal assistant, ChadGPT.

From “skull” and “caught in 4K” to “delulu is the solulu,” “NPC behavior,” and “bro thought he cooked,” the guys attempt to decode the ever-evolving language of the internet, with mixed results. Along the way, they debate whether the kids are actually cooked, if aura can be farmed, why having “motion” is suddenly a compliment, and whether growing up with AI is fundamentally changing how humans think.

Expect:

Plenty of wrong answers

Existential dread about the future

Millennials realizing they are aging in real time

Strong opinions on brain rot, swag, and TikTok culture

So the big question remains: are the kids alright, or is this the beginning of the end?

What does the U.S. get wrong that other countries do better?

In this Break Room episode, Nick Loudon, Zach Stevens, and Corey Haines take a step away from work and dig into a lively, opinionated conversation about everyday systems the United States could improve — based on firsthand experiences abroad.

From public transportation and food quality to the metric system, cigarette packaging, and the eternal debate over roundabouts vs. stop signs, this episode is equal parts thoughtful, funny, and unfiltered.

It’s not about bashing the U.S. — it’s about noticing what works elsewhere and asking why we haven’t adopted it yet.

Topics discussed include:

Why public transportation abroad feels faster, cleaner, and more reliable
The difference between U.S. and European food ingredients
Bread, pasta, dairy, and why they hit differently outside the U.S.
The case for switching to the metric system
Graphic cigarette packaging and whether it actually works
Roundabouts vs. stop signs (and why this gets surprisingly heated)
Trains, traffic, and getting to the airport on time

This episode is a relaxed, off-the-cuff discussion with strong opinions, jokes, and real-world observations — perfect if you enjoy long-form conversations that feel like hanging out with friends.
