I can imagine Gus joining the army depending on his relationship with his dad.
From left to right: Tech bro Only fans Barista YouTube mukbang creator Mechanic Middle management
Interesting. So Gus has a falling out with his father, and rejects his army “heritage” and goes fully into the world of software/hardware.
Gretchen likely then works as a librarian or as a public service educator, and has to make ends meet by supplanting her income online.
Spinelli doesn’t strike me as a coffee aficionado, but she is highly strung and so probably would thrive in a hands-on demanding environment like a coffee house.
Mikey, as a youtuber who consumes lots of food. Yes, I could probably see that. I hoped more that he would be literally on stage performing theater, but I suppose youtube is a stage of sorts where you find your ideal audience, and so food and performance seems like a good fit.
TJ as a mechanic. I guess so, though it feels like a waste of his inspirational, organizational, and creativity skills, though the same could be said for many kids with failed dreams.
Vincent in middle management. Perhaps his passion for sports did not translate well into adulthood and he had to find himself a normal job.
might be that the previous poster just went by questionable prejudices, not by the actual characters.
Definitely judging book by covers. But entertaining read never the less
Correct
Excellent writeup. 👍
Mikey, as a youtuber who consumes lots of food.
I didn’t have Mukbang Mikey for 2024 ;(
Nah, Gus is a military drone operator bombing weddings in Afghanistan
Randall J. Weems is a reddit mod
Trying to afford a house, kids or healthcare (pick one.)
that’s a (major) background worry that could be applied to anyone. I’m asking specifically about the recess characters
gus has gone no-contact with his dad and is making james somerton-style youtube essays
gretchen is writing tumblr posts about gifted-kid burnout and forever applying for a PhD
spinelli has become the owner of an asbestos factory.
T.J is unionizing his workplace and working on inventing a brand new type of soda
vince was set to become an olympic athlete in steeple-chase, but a knee-injury forced him to retire early. he’s now looking to start a soda-type podcast with T.J. (they are lovers) while barely making rent from his part-time job as a P.E. teacher.
mikey is filling the world with love
Other than Vince, I’m fully on board with a lot of these, though wondering exactly what Mikey does to “fill the world with love”
just being himself
I imagine Spinelli joining the army before Gus.
Dunno. I can’t imagine Spinelli taking orders from anyone unless it’s someone she respects, like TJ.
I can definitely imagine her in the trenches however
I always imagined her as a mechanic
Not much these days
It was a different word when this show aired. https://youtu.be/rMoDslz0EtI
Definitely was! Randall giving Ms Pfizer a spongebath might not be a joke that would fly now
- TJ = Real estate Agent
- Gretchen = IT
- Vince = High School Coach
- Gus = Accountant
- Spinelli = graphic Designer
- Mikey = Shop assistant/aspiring playwright
I can see all of these, except maybe Gus. TJ as a charming mofo flipping houses I can see, though when the price gouging hurts his neighbours In wonder how he’ll act
I’m on Hexbear
Im happy for you?
Thanks!

Spinelli
Is this really the fate you want for a beloved character from your childhood?
TJ
I take it he wasn’t your favourite character growing up
Damn about the spinelli character…
Yeah they took that prediction an odd step too far.
